Motivation

I am chubby again and I eat like a pig everyday. Because I got really skinny my mom would always say " You look like a skeleton, you are dying, you have no energy ( even though i did), you look so disgusting. When I look at your body I feel this ‘keeriyat’ don’t you feel it too? ." I had to gain weight because I lost my periods but when I started eating more again I totally went crazy and was always craving food - heck I ate 8 icecream cones in one day once !
Before I could not eat more than 2 icecream cones in a day. K well I ate at night too many times and all this was encouraged. Now it’s sort of becoming a habit which i desperatly want to break other wise I will end up obese. I know i’m at the edge of nearing overweightness and I need to get back to track and lose just a tad bit o weight (5-10 pounds) when I was ‘perfect’. So I need your guy’s motivation. My mom is nowadays saying " Moti banse baney ka irda hai, abhi 3 ghantey phele khana kaya hai aur phir khaney agahi. Us din toh bohot rorahi thi ke mein moti ho chucke hoon, khate ve nahin ehsaas hota hai ke mein moti ho jahoen ghi?" or she would say “Puri dunya ka ja ho ghi?” This isn’t really helping me as I am eating more in order to spite her or just because I am sad that I am getting fatter.
Before I was scared to increase my calories (hence the low weight - 93 pounds 5’40) becuase I feared this would happen. I feared all my hard work would be in vain. but she just had to keep taunting me. And now she is doing it again, wtf !@! I know I need to stop this but it is sooo hard. And you cooking good food or buying junkfood even when I tell you not too isn’t helping either :(.
It’s espcially hard to stop this binging as (like i stated earlier) was encouraged to do it. My mom would say “abhi ka rahi hain toh ka ne do ussko.”

I’m going to use this thread as a motivation. Everyday I will write down what I eat and how much i exercise.
My calorie goal is 1700-1800 cals on days i exercise and 1500 cals on days that i don’t. Wish me luck guys and PLEASE PLEASE PRAY that i can get my eating habits under control BEFORE i end up being overweight or extremely boderline overweight (which I am nearing).
Thanks for reading, all comments/advice are welcome. I am tired right now so I’m going to bed.
