@Daydreamer21 could you ask whoever does the cooking for just a little potato, pasta or rice and more veg instead? I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Or how about offering to make dinner a couple of times a week? Hope you can find a way. As for the biscuits and chocolate, just don't have them. I could stuff myself with biscuits, chocolate, sweets and cake but I don't. I have something else instead or even nothing. A cup of tea usually suffices because I'm not hungry, I just fancy 'something nice.' I indulge once a week on a Friday evening. All you can do is say 'no' it does get easier the more you practice it. Good luck.
My personal take on 5:2 is;
Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays 5:2 36 hours
Green tea all day then less than 500 calories in one meal in the evening.
16:8 all the other days, wey-hey at weekends and daily weighing
It worked for me sloooowly
Height 5'4"
Goal Achieved after 9 1/2 months and now maintaining
In a fasting mainteneers fivesome with pennyforthem, callyanna, stowgateresident and auriga

Its hard when it's things like pasta/rice which make up the main component of a meal but I can just eat as minimal amount of those as possible. I have gone back down to my Easter target this morning, which I achieved before Easter so I'm feeling hopeful that if I low carb this week it will give it a much needed boost.
