Does it matter? Are you still on track with your goals?
I still think you should seek out a professional.7 -

It's one of the main food groups. SUGAR. Cut the sugar and snack on nuts and berries.

Why do you ask if no one can answer? You past posts show a disturbing relationship with food and eating in general. I hope you are getting some counseling for this.trulyhealy wrote: »not really a question that y’all can answer i guess but if i get it out there kid like it feels like i ate so much even though i haven’t really. i we up at 11am and then had porridge, 3 little chocolate and then for dinner i treated myself and had 6 popadoms and onion chutney and now away to have skittles. why do u think i’m feeling this way? it’s so weird i cant explain right

OP, well done for spotting the disconnent between reality (how little you've actually eaten) and how you're feeling. Please talk to a professional before this progresses any further.
British sweet originally, as in back in the late 20th century, but I have the impression from past forum posts that they're now internationally available.
In my opinion they taste a bit boring, but lots of people eat them.

why does everyone think i have an eating disorder? i don’t. i just get fixed on things for a certain amount of time probs due to my autism2 -
OP - please get some professional help about your eating love because feeling mixed up like you do can't be solved by even the most empathetic and knowledgeable people on here. I wish you well.8

Hi - my niece has Asperger's and a refusal to eat is one of her therapists primary challenges right now. It's been ongoing for a couple of years...trulyhealy wrote: »

I only wanted to say that professional help is the primary reason she isn't in much worse shape right now. And that getting that help, whether for autism, or OCD issues, or anything else we're having trouble with on our own, is not a bad thing.
If you're currently seeing a therapist for your autism, let them know you have questions about food related issues. If you aren't seeing anyone, please consider it? I've seen how fast things can spiral out of control. Catch it now.
Wishing you well.

Perhaps labels aren't what we should focus on here. What is going on here may not fit your definition of an eating disorder, or the most classic popular definition of one, but you are experiencing stress and anxiety around how much food to eat.
A stressful fixation on food is reasonably common among people on the autistic spectrum. Whatever you call it, it is a stress you don't need, especially as a fixation on food may lead to behaviour such as chronic undereating which could also damage your physical health. Please read this and see if it resonates with you.

I have a powerlifting meet Saturday. Skittles would be way more helpful than raspberries in that situation.2 -

In my diet? The Skittles are way better.7 -

But see, this is where we need to give thought to how we say things. You said, "Cut the sugar and snack on nuts and berries", which is a command to everyone reading it, not "I cut the sugar and snack on nuts and berries", or even, "You might want to consider cutting the sugar and snacking on nuts and berries."15 -

You literally asked which do I think is better.

Right, @magnusthenerd?4 -
Alright folks. This thread will be staying locked. If you wish to debate the merits of sugar and different sugar-laden foods please do it in a thread in the debate section, NOT in a thread where OP is seeking advice and guidance. Turning a thread into an off-topic debate violates the community guideline that prohibits trolling.
If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me or any other moderator or MFP staff-member and we'll be happy to discuss.
