Another family support issue

I definitely understand that it is my journey and by all means I don't expect them to change their eating habits for me. I don't think they did it maliciously but I guess I just kind of want them to be a little more mindful that those things can't be left here. They are aware of what I am embarking on. I've been very open with my family members. It's kind of why convicts aren't allowed to hang out with other convicts lack of self control among criminal masterminds lol. I'm trying to work on that self-control well before any doctor tells me I have to. Perhaps you are right. I just won't be able to have anything at my house until I do gain that complete self-control.

The juices I have stopped keeping or I might keep orange juice and heavily dilute it with water. My fridge is practically bare (except for those sodas now). After reading, I decided that I would take them to work and offer them to coworkers and my students to get rid of them.

They cannot read your mind, so don't expect anything from them that you don't first communicate to them.  You're only allowed to be disappointed if they ignore your request, not if they lack the ESP to know what you're thinking.  They may not understand the turmoil you experience, so give them the benefit of a doubt and just make things perfectly clear. (PS, this is the key to my happy 24 year marriage, too)

Here's a trick I learned from a hotel that I frequented for work (I travel a lot).  Intead of fruit juices, try infusing waters with fruit.  Take a gallon of water and add sliced apples, berries,melon chunks, strawberries,  cucumbers, etc.  Allow it to sit for a couple of hours and chill.  The water tastes delicious.  The apple is a little sweet and the cucumber is especially refreshing on a hot day.

You are right. I should've just talked to them and next time I will without assuming that they know everything I can or can't have. Thank you for your wisdom.

I actually never thought about doing that. Speaking of which Groupon has some water bottles that you can put fruit in the middle to infuse the water. Thanks!

Thank you all for your responses. You guys have given me some good ideas and I really appreciate the responses.
