After my first year of college and getting far more into exercising and eating right, I'll be heading back home for the summer. I'm happy about it, but at the same time, my family is unhealthy as shit and never just let me do my own thing. I can't wait for a whole summer of:
>"I'm trying to lose weight, so I'm going to eat more fruits and vegetables!"
>"Anon, I know you try to be healthy, but we're having pasta tonight/making cinnamon rolls, and you have to eat some so your mother feels good about making them."
>"Oh come on, one cookie/bowl of ice cream/slice of cake won't make you fat!"
Anyone else have family like this? How do you handle it?

just make your own food like a man
>independence is key to being /fit/
If it's possible, get a summer job and buy your own food and stuff. The biggest thing is to just not give in. Even when it's that tough.

This
>Went to Uni
>Finally in control of my diet
>Eat clean for 4 months
>Gains through the roof now that im eating way more protein
>Lean as fuck now that theres no constant cookies/deserts/chips being thrown at my face every meal
>Go back home for break
>Family gain massive amount of respect for me, let me use the kitchen for myself, ask for healthy recipes
Since you are in the same boat, just git gud at cooking and impress them with healthy/good meals, I made spinach and gammon omlettes for breakfast for myself the first day back and my family would not stop asking me for me to cook them.

Why don't you just eat some?
You can eat a cook or a cinnamon roll and not turn into a whale you know? Fat people are fat because they eat too much, not because they have a cookie once in a while.

what the fuck lol this is a non problem just don't eat it
"i'm not hungry"
"no thanks"
"im full"
"I can't"
eat healthy food in the house or get a easy job and buy your own food, or just ask your parents to buy chicken rice and other shit you eat simple as that

no one gives a shit fuck off

Essentially this (apart from needless ad homonems)

Tell them no without coming across as a douchebag or making them feel like you're depriving yourself
I.E:
>"Oof...I'm so full I can't eat anything else. Sorry, Mom. They look/smell great though."
>"Unf...I'll have one upstairs/later *throws away cookie* Wow those cookies tasted great!"
>"Hnnghh...Ah Mom you make the best cookies ever hnngh I love you"
Instead of
>"No thanks I don't eat shit"
>"Naah I'm trying to avoid sugar"
>"I'm alright...just stickin' to fruit :D"
>Fuck you and your cookies mom you fat bitch
See what I mean OP? There's a way to not eat cookies without being so transparent. Same as anything in life, really. Be creative.

Tell your parents to fucking deal with the fact you don't want to look like them and you want to be healthy
Three simple words:
"I just ate"
It doesn't matter if you haven't eaten since breakfast. There's no way they're monitoring your eating habits close enough to debate you.
Also, for dessert:
"Thanks but I can't have sugar this close to bed, I'll be awake til midnight."
