I'm good when I get grocery shopping and I can pass things up that are not good for me. But my problem is once it's in the house I feel the need to eat it. Because I was brought up that you should not waste food. My husband and I are on a diet but we also have three adult children living in our house brings things in, and when it's in my house .the Timtation is too strong. Mountain Dew, ( I call it liquid fat lol) potato chips ect. They pay for it them selfs, but I feel like it's in my face. Does anyone else have that problem?

    adult children :bigsmile:

    Oh his two boys (age 20,24 ) are never leaving, they need each other, without the boys my husband would feel like he don't have a purpose, and the boys cant have everything they want. We have been married three years and I've already come to that realization.

    I reside with my Mother & Sister. I am the only 1 trying to lose weight. My Sister is trying to gain weight & my Mother is doing neither. There're all sorts of things in my house, that isn't mine that I'd like to eat; if they were mine but since they aren't mine, I'd be a thief; if I took them. I don't understand the temptation to steal anything from anyone (especially your own family), even if you paid for something; that is designated as theirs. Whether the person you bought something for, is an adult or a child; it's still thievery. I actually consider this to be worse, than stealing something from a store because there isn't a trusting relationship involved, with the outside world; as there's suppose to be within those that reside with you.

    When they buy things and it's brought into the house it's for everyone in the house. We don't put our names on our food items and say they are just the person that they belong to. Everyone contributes to groceries in the house because we all live there.

    My family doesn't label either because we either know what's ours or if we do share, we actually share it & therefore won't take more than we're suppose to. If food is being brought into the house, that you feel like you shouldn't be eating, no matter whom buys it; then that should be a signal that it isn't to be shared with you & then that designates it as being solely for those that're suppose to have it.

    People are pretty clever and cute with there words on this site. Not sure I follow them all. My mantra was fit by 40, 20 years ago. I should come up with another one. So they have you getting divorced from mountain dew. Not a bad plan. Good luck with your diet. I think it's finding the motivation that makes a biggest difference whether we're successful or not.

    I thought it was the latest treat from Tim Hortons

    But to the op if they buy it then think of it as theirs. They spent their money on it so let them enjoy it and don't give into the temptation. I but handfuls of chocolate bars for my son every week and I have no desire to eat them just cause they're there. I bought them for him

    I appreciate your words and understanding. I'm getting pretty bashed here........ Being accused of stealing food from other people and sleeping with my stepson.

    In all fairness I did clarify my comment, after you explained your situation further; so clearly I don't agree that your stealing but I do agree with @synchkat. As for the "temptation" thing, it wasn't an accusation; some people like to joke/be sarcastic but I only am, when it doesn't involve a problem; that someone is seeking help for.

    I think this is more an issue of self control. You have to learn to love with junk being around and not always giving into the urge to eat it. it's not wrong to feel that way, it's probably what got you here in the first place but it's this kind of thinking you have to change if you want to be successful in your weightloss. That's my further two cents. resist once and you realize you can...resist a few times more and you'll be on you way to winning the battle

    This. The way your post was worded made "timtation" appear to be a person so the question was asked if he was one of the adult children (I cannot believe I am typing this right now) you then somehow turned that into sleeping with your step son and called her "sick" for suggesting such a thing. She never suggested that, you did.

    That being said, welcome to MFP, this is the Chit Chat forum which used to be tied together with the "fun and games" forum. We laugh here, we make light of things and it is Friday afternoon, I have been dealing with 2 children with the runs, strep throat, ear infections and vomit for a week and 1 day now, and I am now running a fever and feel as if I am swallowing razor blades, and in my delirious state while trying to force myself to make it the last hour and 43 minutes of the horrendous work day this thread made me smile. So thank you, and please do not take this seriously because like I said, we are all just here to smile and have a bit of fun. The other forum sections are geared more toward serious discussions if that is what you are looking for. Perhaps the "motivation and support" section.

    Have a wonderful weekend. :flowerforyou:
