Lack of family support

Hmmm.... That's rough. I'm not quite sure how it would work with parents, but with my husband I just throw out anything he brings home while he's sleeping. XD Sorry, I know that's not really helpful =(

This is your journey and it will require you taking care of yourself in the best way possible. I know it is hard but that's just life. Not everyone is going to be on board with our decisions so don't let it deter you.

The only option for food, is to buy your own and cook for your self. Or maybe offer to cook dinner 3-2x a week.

I sort of come in between two extremes.
My oldest has severe food allergies so
no gluten no eggs no nuts no dairy no
seeds no safflower oil no sunflower oil.
My husband is a fabulous cook and it is
hard to say no to what he makes. We
usually cook two or three meals , one
for him, on for my kids, and one for me.
However I usually give in and eat what he
Makes for himself - tonight was curry
chicken and rice with glass of wine.

Good luck!

It's so much harder trying to develop a healthy lifestyle when your family isn't the most supportive. I live with my parents, my dad is at work most of the day, he has a very physically demanding job. He LOVES to bring home chips and coca cola and is obsessed with junk food, but he is normal weight. My mother is a little overweight (10 pounds at the most), and she has seizures and bad knee injuries, so she doesn't really exercise much. She likes to eat out a lot (Olive Garden, Red Lobster, McDonald's). I've tried to get her to work out with me, even encouraged her to do modified versions, and she won't stick with it for very long. There is constantly whipped cream, cookies, chips, diet sodas, all kinds of junk in my house. Her idea of good, clean food is a Lean Cuisine and a diet Pepsi. The only decent food that comes into this house is the food I buy. I love them to death, don't get me wrong, but I feel like I am being (probably unintentionally) sabotaged. I feel like my only support system is you guys.
Does anyone have some advice? I'm sure someone out there has been in a similar situation.

You're in a tough situation since you live in their home. You may just have to deal with it until you get a place of your own. You can't expect them to change their lifestyles just to make your choice easier on you. It seems like you may be mistaking that for a lack of support. It's excellent that you want to be healthy and there are many ways that they can support you: not offering you junk food when they eat it, avoid bringing in your favorite junk foods, keeping junk food stashes in their bedroom and out of sight, not inviting you when they dine out. For anything to change, you would have to talk to them about how you feel but this really falls on your shoulders more than anything. Keep buying food for yourself and make sure your parents know that it's meant for you specifically. Prepare your own meals and just don't eat their food. I don't think they are being un-supportive unless they start giving you a hard time about eating differently or scoff at your meals or something. I'm doing this alone. My boyfriend has chips, beer, cookies, etc. in the house constantly. It would be nice if those things weren't around (god, I love cookies!) but the fact is, it's not his responsibility to make my choice to get in shape easier. It's MY responsibility to make the right choices to get where I want to be regardless of the temptations around me.


ETA: The suggestion of one of the other posters to cook meals is an excellent suggestion. I cook for myself and my boyfriend so he just has to deal with what I make. Thankfully, he thinks I'm an amazing cook. Some nights, we eat leftovers or just snack all night and then he does what he wants. Most nights though, he just gets a larger portion of the same dinner I'm eating.
