Why is healthy eating so hard? and how can I make it easier?

[stardust44]

I have to use whatever my parents buy so I cant ask for special stuff that are healthy. I guess what my parents buy are mostly healthy but they also buy unhealthy stuff and they always will because it's hard not to. But I go ahead and often eat a lot of the unhealthy ones too, but I wish I could just be able to stick to healthy eating everyday, not three hours.

unhealthy foods = yummy. thats why its hard to get away from them, all the sugars and whatnot makes them taste a lot better than healthy foods. unfortunately all you can do is try new foods and find things that you like, there are some tasty and healthy foods (fruits, white meats, fish, stirfrys/sautes, pastas)

Maybe you could convince them to all eat healthy, I did. And my parents were proud that i asked them. So we did, although they only lasted 3 weeks, but it made it easier for me afterwards. Just having a couple of weeks with little temptations helped me to be ready afterwards. It really did work.

Also I drank so much water, whenever I felt just slightly hungry I would eat 1 rice cracker with 1 glass of water, so i never felt hungry. So that too also helped me.

Just talk to your parents, it would be good for everyone in the family. Tell them that they want to go into their twilight years healthy, not tired and wrinkly!? lol

Keep a positive attitude, listen to inspirational songs, and if you really are determined like i think you are, you'll get there.

Hope this helped, good luck.
