I try to think about food less but...

- Every large/medium train station is rammed full of food. Everyone on the train is constantly shoving food and alcohol in their mouths

- Every high street is full of fast food

- Every service station is full of fast food

- Every coffee shop has pastries etc all on display staring at you

- Even at the gym the other day I had to listen to two women talking about their favourite steak and chicken etc for 15 minutes (it's a small gym)

- People's homes are full of snacks and temptations and friends/family can't comprehend the concept of my wanting to lose weight.

- Grocery shops place unhealthy food at the entrance and the staples are often placed in a way to make you walk past the unhealthy foods. Online grocery shops force you to look at unhealthy food during your shop

- People just walking around town are eating in the street

We have a massive snack culture generally in the UK and it's become so normalised. Another thing you notice taking public transport is it's the default mechanism to entertain and keep children quiet, so kids are being taught to have a snack constantly.

Food is everywhere all the time here!

Yes, it’s similar to alcohol, where if you decide you won’t drink, any time you go out or to a social event it seems you can’t escape people drinking or offering you a drink.

You just have to imagine yourself as being different from other people and you don’t do those things that others do.
