Today, I have to choose between getting a cellphone contract that I need, or a TV that I don't even want, but which my flatmates insist I contribute towards. The same flatmates who eat all my food. This increased grocery bill has left me unable to afford either the phone or TV. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, I had to decide between buying medicine and buying food. FML
Today, I had to sell my phone to pay for the phone bill. FML
Today, I told my roommates they have to go get jobs, because I can't afford to support them or their bad habits any more. They responded by pawning all my DVDs for cash to buy cigarettes. FML
Today, I learned that as much as I try to save my money, it always just slips through my fingers. After rent, I got paid $280 yesterday, $85 went out on my gym membership, $95 went out on my internet, $125 went out on my Hello Fresh. I have to choose between half a tank of petrol or breakfast/lunch for the week. FML
Today, I called my mobile phone provider to end my contract. A sales rep spent over half an hour trying to convince me to reconsider, and I kept refusing. I ended up breaking down and accepting a "more economical" contract, which I didn't notice costs almost twice as much as the last one. FML
Today, I live in a world where I work 50 hours a week, and yet after paying all necessary bills, eating one meal a day, and only drinking water from the tap, I am £130 pounds poorer than last week, all because I had to use my credit card and increase my debt to buy petrol and pay the gas bill. FML
Today, my roommate and I were watching TV, and he ordered a pizza. After it was delivered, I took a slice. He yelled at me for taking his food and told me to stop mooching off him. I had to cover his rent last month and he still hasn't paid me back. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML
Today, I told my parents that all I wanted for my 18th birthday was to go to a restaurant in NYC for a nice dinner. My parents said no, because it would cost too much money. I came home to see my parents had bought a huge TV for $800. We already have 3 televisions. FML

Move out, get some new flat mates. You'll make the money back.

I think you should invest in your own private fridge first :)

And a lock for the fridge

Keep the mini fridge in your room and lock your whole room. You never know what your roomies will steal from you.

Be straight up with them and tell them to not eat your food!

If op never asked them to stop in the first place, it might. Op might not have the nerve to stand up for his or herself.

OR, OP could move out and not take the risk of having charges pressed? Seems like OP has enough issues.

Start keeping the non-perishable food in your room.

You could always refuse, maybe insist they stop eating your food or you'll move out. Or just go ahead and move out.

Grow some balls! You just let them eat your food and don't ask them to contribute at all? Either stand up for yourself or move out. These people obviously don't understand what being roommates means.

Your comment makes no sense, do you read what you put down before hitting send? I didn't think so
