Extreme sugar cravings?

ED Question

Hi everyone!! I’ve been trying recently to start recovery from anorexia, but I’ve found myself struggling to understand my own body’s signals, if that makes sense? I try to eat more food than usual, but I end up turning to sweets, and I can’t seem to stop eating them until an entire pack is finished. Obviously, this worries me, since I don’t wanna slide from one extreme to the other. Is this a side effect of restrictive eating? I wouldn’t say I’ve been experiencing extreme hunger or anything like that, since I don’t really experience any of the pain you do when you’re hungry or anything like that. I don’t know, it’s all very confusing to me, and I’d really really love to hear from people who understand and recognise these things better than I would. Thank you!!
