I've stuck to snacking on fresh fruit instead, but its a little hard when everyone here buys chips, cookies, and soda...!

    I know what you mean! I live with my family and from time to time my mother makes something horribly unhealthy (but luckily usually its the healthy stuff...). I have a one-bite rule - I just try out the food with one bite. It works for me:D!
    PS: feel free to add me as a friend for support, im 24 and looking for friends that are around my age (which you are considering the age range here...):D

    Throw it out! Haha...

    Are you rooming with people or living with family? I think if you talk to them about how it affects you and your healthy eating habits, they will understand. Sometimes its just making a point of asking them to keep the "bad foods" in their own rooms or don't bring it home at all. I live with my boyfriend and luckily he agreed to not have ANY bad foods in our apartment...so its all healthy here...but I told him that if he wants he can go to Wendys/McDonald's or buy sugary foods at the convenience store as long as he eats it away from home. That seems to work for us. Good luck!
