Today, I decided to start a new and healthy diet. When I came home from my run this morning, my family decided to show their support by buying takeaway food. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I started our diet. After a long day of being held accountable for every calorie I ate, I went home to sneak a snack. My boyfriend came over to surprise me, and found me on the couch shoveling left-over Indian food into my mouth. FML
Today, I told my mom I was finally going on a diet. She let me know how proud she is of me fighting temptation, by making my favorite cookies and dinner. FML
Today, I started my new health kick with granola for breakfast, salad for lunch, and hitting the gym after work. I was so proud of myself, until I couldn’t take it anymore and binged at McDonald’s. My health kick lasted 11 hours. FML
Today, I’m trying to be healthy. My friends suggested I keep junk food out of the house so I don’t crave it. Yeah, that didn’t work. My car wouldn’t start so I actually made the four-mile walk to the nearest grocery store to get junk food. FML
Today, I decided to eat healthier. I started with making 2 eggs and burning down whole kitchen. FML
Today, I decided to go on a diet to lose some weight before summer. This was followed by the arrival of a giant parcel full of candy from my mother. FML
Today, I decided to start eating healthier, so I had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast and a chicken salad for lunch. My stomach violently rejected both meals in a fountain of vomit. I later ate a giant McDonald’s meal with no issue, and felt loads better. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for ordering too much fast food. The only reason I’m doing it is because there isn’t any food in the house. Not only that but I’m also trying to gain weight. FML
Today, after 3 months of my man claiming he's going to start eating better "next week", he finally went on a diet. What changed? I started eating healthy while trying for a baby. He is "supporting me" by getting me to do extra meal prep for him too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's terrible. Just keep strong. Remember that not only will you look better, you'll feel better and have more energy.

YDI for thinking that because you choose to diet, everyone around you also has to. If you want to work out and diet, that's great. For YOU. Your family isn't you and you need to stop taking the fact that they haven't made all the same decisions as you as a personal attack.

You being on a diet does not mean your family has to. Ya it might be a little inconsiderate on their part, but it's also inconsiderate on your part expecting them to alter their diet behaviour just because you can't handle a little temptation.

Isn't take away food good for your diet anyway? It is, "take away" food.

Same thing happened to me when I decided to eat healthier. I stuck to my goals and didn't eat any of the unhealthy stuff brought into the house at the time. Although I know it may feel like it sucks for your family to do this, remember that it's YOU on a diet, not them. They shouldn't have to bend to your new food choices (although it would be nice if they did a little).
