I (25m) have been living with my parents for eight months due to COVID. Before moving in, I had lost over 20 pounds eating right with a little bit of exercise.
Now I live here and the fridge always has no less then 10 Pepsi and 5 Fanta, there are jars on the kitchen counter filled with my favorite candies, and we have dessert every single night after a typically non nutritious meal since my dad only eats steak, pizza and potatoes.
I have gained all of the weight back. I have an extremely impulsive and addictive personality. I have gotten over drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes and I’m kicking weed now. However, it’s hard to concentrate on that when I’m constantly having to show will power to not eat all the junk food sitting there. I have a real problem and it is hurting my life.
When I bring this up, they get mad. I explain that they showed me Pepsi as a young child and encouraged it. Now I have a full blown addiction, a little less shitty to kick than pills, but still. Before moving in, I got my own groceries and was able to show complete control at the grocery store. The strategy worked and now my mom orders the groceries and I get no say.
How do I find a way to communicate this??
