[...] Another fellow blogger placed an observative post today on Living at Home is HARDHere’s a quick excerptI should probably only blog when I am in a post-workout happy state, but who has that ability?

@ Krissie: Thanks! I will keep trying even if its hard here. I am glad you have a good setup at your house.

@ MizFit: I have tried to do that. I will clear out a section in the pantry and put all my good stuff there after I go shopping. This lasts for a few days before my stuff gets pushed aside, set elsewhere, mixed in a pushed to the back of the dark corners where I can’t find it. When this happens it is disheartening to climb through piles of unhealthy food in search of what I can eat. Its a good idea, and I have and will keep trying it, but it just doesnt work very well here.

@ FLG : I like the visual reminders idea. I actually respond well to that, and I have something on the fridge that is pretty helpful. I just put it there the other day so we will see. Its too bad I live at home or I would label all the bad foods with little sticky notes saying NO! But if I did that here my family would think I am crazy and take them off.

I suppose I’m really quite lucky in the amount of support I’ve gotten from my family. They try to keep most temptations out of the house, and if they do have to be in the house, then out of my sight.

Perhaps some visual reminders in the kitchen? Post-it notes on foods you should be avoiding?

As a side note… Cardinals vs Seahawks!

Losing weight for me would definitely be much harder if there was fattening food all over the place. I would try to get out of the house as much as possible.

I have such a hard time staying on track when we go to my parents’ or to mother-in-law’s. I can’t imagine living there all the time! Hang in there!

I’m also very lucky in my own house – I can turn the light off in the kitchen and pretend like it’s not there. I don’t have to walk through it to get anywhere but to the back deck, and I don’t do that much during the winter.
