Seeing as I'm at home today, I had to avail myself of #1 on this list. Just like old times! Anyway, here's a few ways to avoid destroying your diet. Stay strong!
- Flush food down the toilet. This is one of the best and easiest ways to dispose of food as it’s quick, and you have easy access to one most of the time. Avoid foods which will expand in water, such as rice and cereal, as these could block your drains.
- Give your lunch to someone else. This works especially well if you’re at school. Give your lunch to someone else, and your parents will think it was you who ate it.
- Throw it in a bush. Any bush will do, but make sure it’s out of the way of the house so no one finds it.
- Feed it to the dogs. Of course, it doesn’t have to be a dog! If you have a greedy cat or other pet, feed it to them. Dogs, however, tend to be the most helpful because they will generally eat anything you give them.
- Throw it in the bin. This one is risky. As everyone in the household will use the bin, it’ll be easy for anyone to find it. Wrap your food up so you can’t tell what’s in it, and if possible, use an outside wheelie bin.
- Recycle it. Check with your local recycling to see if you can recycle food waste. If you can, then great! Take your food there regularly to dispose of it.
- Keep a bin bag of all the food you don’t eat and throw it out when it’s full/starts to smell. Because it’s a bin bag no one will suspect it’s full of food. However, this one is still one of the riskier options because the food, especially if it's hidden in a place that's associated with you, could be found and you could easily be caught. If your parents are anything like mine were, the ONLY reason they come in to your room is to find potentially incriminating evidence of an ed, and a bin bag full of food, hidden under the bed, is certainly questionable.
