Feeling so guilty
 

I weighed in this morning at 165. I was really happy, even though I have been losing weight pretty slowly (about a pound and a half a week). Then, I ate really poorly all day.

I had two nutrigrain whole wheat waffles for breakfast with a tiny bit of margarine and syrup. This was okay, but not great.

For lunch, my family went to McDonalds. I abstained and had a lean cuisine panini. It sounds healthy but it is like 380 calories and pretty high in fat. Better than McD, but not great.

For dinner, my family got Papa John's. I caved since I love BBQ chicken pizza and had three slices (about 750 calories)

I felt so badly that I worked out for an hour, burning, according to my exercise machine, 250 calories.

All in all, I know it is not that much of a disaster. I had 1330-1430 calories today and I did work out, but I feel like I'm just not making the progress I need to make, like I'll never be skinny. I feel so frustrated because my family eats JUNK all day long and I can only stand temptation for so long. Everyone in my family is obese except my sister, who is super-thin (a model).

How can I resist the peer pressure day in and day out?

I know it's hard! My Hubby's been on Vacation this week so I've ate more than I would have had he been working. I'm just enjoying the time he has off & gonna get serious on Monday! I think we all need to go off once in awhile! I had been trying to get into the 40's. Had barely made it then it was back into 50's....very disheartening! Just Hang in There! The Progress you've made is Great!

Would it be reasonable at all for you to volunteer to cook some meals? Then you could cook healthier options for the whole family. I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're still a minor, I wonder if you can convince your parents to get you your own separate healthier food.

I understand that temptation can be hard. Usually I can just say no but sometimes I cave to the pressure.

I agree with fivestone! Your family is eating junk food, and while they don't care about it right now, it's not a healthy way to live, and they could probably benefit from healthier meals as well!

If they don't want to come on board, though... you might have to be the one that starts a small food revolution in your kitchen! Don't let them sabotage you in your quest to eat healthier! Good luck :)
