So I’ve been on my way trying to get back to a healthy weight and I have made some good progress so far. My strategy has been mainly dietary, as I switched to healthy and balanced dishes while also cutting out a lot of unhealthy snacks; with the exception of one or two that I am able to eat in moderation to fit my calorie deficit.
Now that I moved in with my family a couple months ago, it has been difficult to maintain this strategy. They are aware that I am on a diet and they have been supportive (even joining me on a weekly walk to become more physically active), but they often get a lot of snacks and junk food that has me fighting temptation all the time versus before when it was just at the super market where I would have to remain vigilant.
I try and tell myself that it isn’t my food and I don’t pay for it, so it is off limits, but because my family does sometimes share meals with me I have difficulty sticking to that argument. It bothers me too because most of the time I am not actually hungry, it’s just boredom eating or ‘I had a hard day so I deserve a treat’ mentality. But it’s hard to ignore those thoughts when I pass by the pantry and it’s fully stocked with all my favorite junk.
I was having some trouble adjusting when I first arrived so my weight loss did stall a bit, but I am just worried that I won’t be able to lose the weight if I keep falling back on these bad habits.
If anyone has any suggestions or tips I would appreciate them.
