Help with my issues around food....

I wasn't sure what area to post this in, sorry if this is the wrong place.

I need help to sort my diet out.

I'm about 5ft 6 and weight fluctuates between 10.5-11 stone. So I know I am not strictly overweight.

But I've always had a poor diet and done little exercise. Last year I started exercising, completed the C25k and have done twice weekly classes since around March last year.

But all of that has made very little difference to how I look because of how I eat.

I've always had issues with food, I'm
A fussy eater and textures of food have to be right or I can't eat it. For example I can't eat soup with bits in, same for yoghurts.
Anything that's to "saucey" is a no go, anything like stews etc are no!

I have serious sugar addictions. Today I've eaten two chocolate bars and 2 packets of crisps. And I'd eat more if it was in the house! I never think to just eat an apple! Or I do but it's just never as satisfying, so I go to chocolate instead.

My belly looks like I'm 6 months pregnant, my skin is awful!

How do I stop eating this rubbish and eat proper food??
I'd love to have a meal and not have to pick around things "that I can't eat". I want to cook nice meals for my family that haven't come out of a box or packet.

Lunch to me has always been sandwich, crisps and chocolate bar....

I want to feel and look good, and not feel so awful about myself for eating rubbish!!

How do I change things when, unless it's covered in sugar, I won't eat it!!

This addresses sugar addiction as well as all disordered behaviour around food. I highly recommend it.

It sounds like you have something else going on here tho re food textures. I don't think that's linked to the sugar addiction but separate.
