This is something that I’ve always struggled with. I don’t blame my dieting problems on other people, but I am aware that it’s harder to eat healthy when you’re eating with people who aren’t or at a place where most of the food isn’t healthy. Temptation is something that you can eventually control, but makes dieting challenging when you first start out.

You may want to try talking to your family about your goals. If they know you are trying to diet, they may become more supportive and not tempt you. After you diet for a while and you start to see progress, you’ll feel stronger when you make healthy food choices because you see the results of your decisions. But at first, if you talk to them, they may be willing to at least purchase more healthy varieties of food to keep in the house in order to help you.

Good luck!
