Family memebers = trouble dieting

[BatZgirl]

does anyone else find it quiet hard to diet when your family members around you are eating all your fave stuff that you know you just cant have?

It helps me to cook it all I cook cakes and pies and it really seems to help

My roomate orders pizza like 3 times a week, he always orders out too, chinese or whatever, i used to give in and have just a lil bit, but now i dont, i say let him get fat , not me

Comes down to willpower, but...

With my family, like when i go to my moms or sis's place, they are totally food junkies, they eat crrrrrrrrrap and bug me about what i eat, that's really hard to take, but then they lift my shirt to see where theres no belly lol or ask me to flex Feels good.

My problem is pizza...I like it too much, and chocolate, and candy, and cakes, and, and , and...

I sometimes think that the attraction to these sweets is knowing that I 'can't ' have them. I wonder if I 'couldnt' have steak or chicken, if I would have the same cravings for them....
PROBABLY NOT!!!

I have found that TELLING everyone that I don't eat crap anymore (well, except for the recent binges ) helps a lot....they kind os hold me accountable. Such as "I thought you didn't EAT CAKE anymore...."

Pride is quite a motivator

I either tell the cook what I can and cannot eat ahead of time, or do the cooking myself and live vicariously by watching everyone else eat. I made creme brulee last night (thank you Nigella Lawson!), and got my jollies by just smelling the stuff.

Having several recently-discovered food intolerances also helps keep me away from not eating clean - if I know that I'm going to feel physically ill after eating gluten, dairy, or some fish or nuts, I'm less likely to. It's also a good excuse when people are less than accomdating about dietary choices.

MMMMMM YUM, since it is sunday I think i shall indulge in my fave food too (the chokkies and sweets and pizzas and junk i mean)

I agree, it would be so nice to crave healthy food instead
