Cookie Diet Tips December 20th, 2009Powered by Max Banner Ads
recently i’ve decided to stop eating junk food because i eat way too much of it, and i really want to get into the habit of eating healthy. i know that i dont have much self-control because i can’t say "ok just one cookie…" so the better alternative is just cutting junk food all together!! at least for now… anyway my dad knows im trying to be good and he went and made a whole batch of cookies for me. it really annoys me because people say im disrespectful when i say i don’t want them. why is it that everyone else in the house is allowed to diet but i’m not? how can i get my dad to understand that i feel so strongly about this and to back off? im not trying to lose weight, im trying to clean up my system of all the bad foods i eat!!!

First of all, you didnt mention if your wieght is aveage for your height and age. If you are already undeaweight, in the evyes of your dad, you cannot blame him for beign concerned but yo all the info on anorexia and bullemia.
But if in fact you are just trying to set a healthly life style for yourself, then you need to sit down with your dad and have an honest and open talk with him. And tell him how it makes you feel when he dows things like that.
Going cold turkey off of junk food will only lead you to the path of failure. When you cut out things your body is used to having, your body goes into a rebellion mode and wants what it wants. So, your best defense is this.
Learn self control, it will help you not only in your eating habits but will also be benenficial in every aspect of your life.
By the way, it is not rude to not accept an offering of food or anything else. if you don’t care for it, you owe no one an explanation, just a mere "No Thank You", is sufficient. Then let it go.
If there seems to be an awkward silence or and insitance to take the offering, you can eith restate you previous answer, or ignor the insistance and change the subject.
You did mention that everybody else in the house can be on a diet, and I’m wondering if this could be an underlying problem.
Why is everyone on a diet? Why is it so important to everyone? Just because everyone else is on a diet, do you really need to be on one also?
There are alot of factors to add here, but most of all, be true to yourself. You know what you want for yourself, and eating healthier for your future is admirable, and I hope you stick to it.
Good luck Jackie
