My mom won't let me diet?

[Anonymous]

(Of course this is an ironic question most teens ask but I want to do something about my weight) since I've started living with my mother I've been putting on a lot of weight. She buys a lot of junk food and meats. I absolutely hate meats (unless it's chicken and Turkey) and the only thing left to eat is junk food because I don't want to starve. If my mother ever does buy vegetables I'm not allowed to eat them until dinner time. I walk 2 miles every day which is the only exercise I'm able to get. And I've talked it over with my mother every time we go food shopping yet I get the same answer from her which is no. I'm about 5'3 and 141 lbs. I don't know what to do! :(

Make your own. Get some low salt turkey breast and some whole wheat bread. Beware the carbs

Tell her you'll do the cooking if she'll buy healthy food.

Tell her it's about getting healthy not being skinny... which is what it really should be anyway.

You should take the initiative start by limiting your portions at meals. Also, you should ask start doing the cooking. This will give control over the family meals.
