You can desire all you want to eat healthy, but if there is junk in the house, you will probably find a way to cheat. Now you're probably thinking, but I live with roommates or I have a family, etc. I get it! I've lived in both situations and still do, but I'm guessing you don't have perfect self-control or you wouldn't be reaching out for help :) Therefore, it is very important to remove temptation. The first step is obvious: get rid of the junk you have. The second step is also pretty obvious: don't buy the junk. Again, both of these are difficult if you live with other people. The key is to sit down and strategize with your cohabitant. If it's your kids, maybe have your spouse take them out for dessert once a week or allow them to buy something sweet at school. If it's a roommate, request that they put some of the most tempting items in their room, i.e. out of sight. These steps are difficult, but if you want to get healthy, you will need the support of those in your life, and it may necessitate some sacrifice. Just remember this is a give and take, make sure to do something special for them or maybe they'll even join you in your endeavor!
