It's difficult tackling eating issues when you're not able to worry just about your own food. I have to buy and make food for my son, as well as myself. But when I do, I risk compulsively eating it all. As we are trying to go gluten free, I made my son gluten free chocolate peanut butter rice crispy squares. But it takes all my effort not to sit down with the tray and eat them all myself. He likes candy, but I end up eating it. And forget about potato chips and ice cream.
So, now, I have a new tact. I'm still making his rice crispy bars of course - he likes them too much for me to stop. But for most everything else I buy the flavors and varieties that he prefers, the one's that I don't like as much. Instead of candy bars, I buy him chewy candies. Instead of plan or cheese flavored chips I get him salt & vinegar. Instead of chocolate flavors of ice cream I buy him the fruity ones.
He gets his treats and I'm not the least tempted to have any myself. As for the rice crispy bars... they'll still be a daily battle.
