Hometown Temptations....HELP!!!

I am purposely falling off the bandwagon!

Why?

I think when I am home at my parents house my mind tells me that I need to pig out and take advantage of the forbidden foods that don't come into my house. I don't feel like that I necessarily want the cookies and chips and what not, but I eat them anyway.

Tomorrow is a new day and I am going to act like I am at my house where I eat healthy. I don't want my hard work to not count!

Does anyone else have this problem? And how do you stop it?

it doen't seem to matter that I'm in my 40's - when I step into my mom's house, I'm still the baby of the family! And I get treated like it! It's taken me a long time to get the rest of my family to realize (even longer for them to admit) that I'm an adult with a life of my own.

I think there is something in all of us that takes us back to being a kid - with all the goods and bads - when we step back into familiar places. Part of it is comfort zone, part of it is expectations, and part of it is who knows?

Remind yourself that you're not a kid anymore, and remind your family when (if they're like mine) they keep trying to feed you! You're a grown up, you can make your own decisions - even (especially) about what you put into your body!!

Easy to type, but harder to do, I know! Good luck!
