I wish, though.

Have you actually tried talking to your family about the food choices they make and how it affects you? For a long time I felt the same way you do-- if I want to eat, I have to eat what everyone else is eating, even if that includes things I really don't want to be eating. My mama did all the grocery shopping, the cooking (or the buying of fast food), everything. And that got me nowhere, especially since I'm the only vegetarian in my family, so if she made meat, I'd be "forced" to just eat whatever other junk was available in the house.
But after awhile, I realised that feeling of being forced to eat "bad" food was just an excuse. I started offering to help with the grocery shopping and the food preparation, and now magically there's always fresh, delicious, healthy foods in the house.
If you work to take a more active role in what sorts of foods are in your house, those times when you feel as if there's nothing for you to eat should decrease.
