How do you eat healthy when no one else around you does?!
Question:
How do you eat healthy when no one else around you does?
ok, i already asked a Q about losing weight...i'm gonna go out on a whim and say it is my diet that's keeping me from losing weight (i guess all the exercize keeps me from gaining though)
my problem is, i seem to be the only person in my group of friends that has to watch what they eat.
my best friend is 21 and looks like a 13 year old. she eats fast food for lunch and dinner and Little Debbies inbetween for snacks. my boyfriend is the same way, he's 5 foot 8 and weights about 145 lbs.
so how can i eat to lose, when everyone around me wants to go eat bad food, or make cookies, or go get ice cream? everytime i try to eat good, i feel like i'm ruining their plans for dinner...plus i have a terrible sweet tooth, and low will power!
i hate sitting in my apartment drinking Slim Fast and eating carrots alone while my friends make a Taco Bell run.

I agree with you. Slim Fast and carrots suck ! However, you might compromise with them and go to Subway or Friday's. Let them get what they want and you ask for a smaller portion or sandwich, with more veggies. Drink lots of water, and no cookies or chips. Also, if you can throw away half of the bread, you are better off.
The sweet tooth is hard. Me, too. You might try drinking a cup to a pint of water when you get the craving... and wait 20 min. Then if you still need sweet, try a small piece of boiled/baked chicken breast and half of a sweet potato ... and another glass of water. Then go take a 20 minute walk.... It may help.
