What to do with this sabotage? (a little long)
Yikes.. Im glad your not my parent.. my parents and my husband are paying my way through college and I have loans not including I am 23 years old... I am not going to lie I am daddies girl and I get what I want.. but I know how to work hard and earn what I get and I have pretty good job.. not everyone can pay their own way through..
Sounds like a tough situation.
Keeping healthy snacks available will help you when you're tempted by the baked goods. My wife bakes a lot for the kids and their classes, the house always smells of cookies and cakes. When the temptation gets severe I have some fresh mozzarella, a latte, pumpkin seeds or jerky. Recognize that you're not hungry and you don't need the baked goods.
Will power and diversionary tactics are helpful. Since it's your mothers house you can't throw out the tempting foods but you can avoid them. Get out of the kitchen and realize that those baked goods will not really satisfy you.
When people want me to fail it strengthens my resolve to succeed.
Good luck,
George

Great ideas! I have thrown out cookies and pies before. I need to stock up on my own snacks and keep them in my living space (I have the basement with a living room, bathroom and bedroom) and stay my ass out the kitchen!
In some ways, it keeps me motivated to know that she wants me to fail. I'll keep that in the forefront of my mind. Uhmmm pumpkin seeds...LOL Yummy!
