This is so frustrating.

I went through the same thing when I was your age. I talked to them about what I was trying to achieve and went to the store with them to help pick things out. Is there any way you can talk to them? They might be supportive of your efforts to change your eating habits. You certainly won't be able to fix their's. They have to do that on their own.

Do you have a job? If you don't, then talk to them about foods that you want to eat.

I guess I can relate to your frustration. Possible solutions would be to finance some of your own groceries. Or maybe your parents will be receptive towards suggestions but be careful how you approach this!

Of course, portion control is key along with exercise perhaps even more so for you than someone who has true control over the food available to them.

I have the same problem!!!! My mom is ok with eating, but my dad has horrible eating habits! When i was moved out of my house for university, i lost 15 lbs because i got to shop for myself; i could have fat free mayo, and skim milk, and choose foods that i wanted to eat. I find if i do my own grocery shopping i have a much better will power NOT to buy the crappy junk food, but if someone else buys it and brings it home...i have very LITTEL willpower.
Since i have started logging my calories on here, i find i have less of a problem, because this is the other half of my will power! Just keep loggin your cal's on here and try shopping for yourself or even ask your parents or write down on the "shopping list" the items you would like.

Spam? Seriously? Gross!

I am going to reiterate what some of the others on here have said. Have you spoken with them about what you would like to have in the house for you? Also, going shopping with your mom might help... you could suggest things that you would like to eat. Also, if you work you could always buy some things for yourself that you would like to have. I know that it is hard to eat healthy when there is all the junk food laying around so the best be might be to talk with your mom about buying things that are healthier for you.

Good luck!!!!

Nobody in my house eats healthy except me. I'd just ask them to buy some fruit and vegetables for you to snack on. I am constantly tempted by pizza and chips at my house but I make sure I have healthy snacks and that I don't let myself get too hungry. This has worked well for me.

I went through that the first time I tried eating healthier. I was 16. I told my Mom I really needed her to buy me some healthy food that I could make lunches from and healthier snacks...so I had her buy me: chicken breast, frozen greens, some pretzels, zone bars, and slim jim beef jerky. If my parents got ice cream, I requested sherbet. It lasted me a long time because only I was eating it and I didn't eat it as often as they ate their ice cream but I had a healthier alternative.

As a mother, if my daughter asked me to purchase healthier food for her I would be so impressed and completely devoted to helping her. Not knowing your relationship with your parents, the common sense approach would be for you to go to your mom and/or dad and say "I want to eat healthier and take better care of myself and I would like your support. I specifically would appreciate it if you would help me by purchasing .....(fresh fruits, vegetables that I like, frozen low calorie, low sodium items...????).....you fill in the blank based on your healthy eating plan. I am assuming your goal is not for them to change their eating habits, but just to provide for your improved eating habits. Hopefully your determination to eat better will have a positive influence on them in the long run though! I encourage you to speak kindly to your parents about this and I am prayerful they will be receptive and supportive!!!!!
