Reply from NiNi, Age 14 - 04/23/05 - IP#: 152.163.100.xxx you dont have to stop the junk food but when i dieted i asked my parents to stop taking us out to eat because everytime we went i just couldnt help my self so i mean i know your mom and siblings or whoever you live with wont mind to give it up for a while for you because your health is alot more important also instead of them buying junkfood if they feel like eating potato chips why dont they buy the bag for one person like the small ones or if they want ice cream go to the ice cream parlor and not eat it in front of you and you can still eat those things just not as much as you used to maybe like a handful of chips every two weeks you can also by the healthier kind of the junkfood instead of regular chips buy baked chips or low fat or fat free ice cream

It is REALLY hard to see junk food, crave it, really want it, having it there in front of it...but you just got to say no. If your mom won't stop buying junk food, at least ask her to get you healthy food so that when you want the junk food you can have the option to have a fruit or something healthy instead.
