Sounds yuck don't it. So the next time someone offers you food as a reward for taking out the trash or something, just say "no thanks" and go do something else. If it something healthy like fruit then take it if you want. Just don't feel obligated to eat or someone's feelings might get hurt. Then you may never lose the weight you want to lose. If they don't understand then tell them you are tired of feeling overweight and it has nothing to do with them personally. Hope I didn't get to technical on you. Hope I helped. :)
