Man oh man, dont know what else to do... off to the good ol CP faithful

I recently moved in with a guy down in Lethbridge. First couple of weeks everything was smooth but then came the problems.

First let me preface by saying i am a student so of course money is tight, my roommate has an off and on job (mostly off) and doesnt go to school.

So the problem is the food situation. The kid eats like a pig, literally 5 or 6 full meals a day. I will buy groceries and the guy eats everything he has no control. I brought it up a couple weeks ago and told him he has to buy his own stuff cause i cant afford to feed him. It got better for a couple days then happened again. I brought it up again 4 days ago and same thing got better. I started keeping some of my food in my room (have a mini fridge) thinking at least that will keep the important stuff safe. I come back from a shift at work to find out food and drinks are missing from my personal fridge in my room along with food in the common fridge. I have already talked to him twice that this isnt ok and has to stop and again i find him eating my food, and whats worse going into my room and taking it from there now!

I dont know what else to do, i keep food in my personal space and told him to stop 2 times.

Please help me im so frustrated and considering moving out over this! Other than this problem everything else is good, rent is cheap and for the most part we get along fine.

I need good ol CP to chime in with some help on what i should do beyond what ive already tried!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the advice guys, i dont think i made a couple details clear which may make this situation more complicating.

First he does have a job as an EMT on a rig site, but the work is very off and on depending when they need him, hes supposed to go every 2 weeks for 2 weeks on 2 weeks off (a big reason why i moved into this place) however since moving in september first he has been gone a whopping 8 days total.

Secondly, i didnt just move into some random place, I know the guy, he is actually my sisters boyfriend who ive known for some time!! So doing the hot sauce and roofies lol isnt really an option, also confronting him physically is out of the question as he his 230 and i am 150 haha. Again we have no other issues about the living other than this food issue!

Thirdly, I know its easy to say just move out but ive looked at other places and the cheapest i can find by myself is about 600 in a crap hole 1 bed apartment plus utilities. (right now i share a basement suit for 300 with utilities included.) If i move out i risk the same problems or worse with new roomates or pay more than double to live alone. Also i move back to calgary in April as i complete my degree.

Finally, i have even spoken to my sister to see if she could get through to him and well as you can see from the results to no avail.

Sorry i typed this up so late last night was incredibly frustrated and left out these crucial details... any other advice based on these new facts?

Thanks guys
