I'm a qualified mental health practitioner specialising in eating disorders but I do not know what your question is - you didn't say.
You cannot switch your mindset from anorexia to 'cured' overnight. All recovering anorexics struggle and cheat at some point - it's a self-preserving disorder which won't just vanish on your say-so. Anorexia is what makes people lie and cheat like you mention but I think you're doing really well and putting up a good fight. It's a cruel illness which will try to get its own way all the time. Keep going. Keep fighting and make it clear to your illness that YOUR voice is more important and what you say goes.

Sounds like a perfect diet. It doesn't sound like too much.
