Hi everyone, I was just wondering how people dealt with living at home with their family who always have high fat/high calorie temptation everywhere. I've been finding it so difficult, especially when I'm stressed, bored or tired not to binge on everything in the cupboards. There's always a supply of crisps, biscuits, chocolate bars, popcorn and then fatty, battered and fried frozen objects in the freezer. How do you resist when that's all you've been used to growing up, when it's what your family eats?
I know things will be better when I have a place of my own, I'll be able to resist buying the 'bad' snacks but I just can't seem to overlook them when my family are buying takeaway every week and then leave out the leftovers for when I come home from work exhausted and hungry. I don't want to have to wait until I'm out of college, in a stable job and financially secure so that I can get a place of my own because that could be for a couple of years... and I don't want to be obese any longer. I love my family but I know they won't change for me, it's such a habit now for all of them. I'm only just beginning to break the habits, to deal with the issues.
I don't suppose there's any strategies out there to help with these things? Any ideas?
