Hey, i'm 13 and I weigh 178 pounds and i'm 5'2, people say I don't look like it, but I do. I've played almost every sport you can name, soccer, volleyball, and basketball. My stomach looks ok, but its just my legs and thighs. I have alot of friends and stuff, but when they joke around about my weight and I get depressed. Especially when my brother jokes on me. I love excersising, but my also overweight mom always doesn't "feel like" taking me to the gym. I also try to eat healthy, but she stops me from it. I eathier eat what she brings home (Macdonald's, KFC, ect.) or I eat nothing scince there's never anything in the fridge. I tried dangerous ways, but I don't have the gag reflex which sucks. What do I do?

I would ask your mom next time she goes to the store to get fruits and vegetables, yougurt, just some healthy foods you can start out with, then ask her if you can make dinner once or twice a week and fix something really healthy for everyone and eventually you will feel better about yourself. Also, about excersising, you can walk around your block or run , whatever suits you, you can lift wieghts, and just stuff like that to get you in shape. Hope this helps!

Oaspring answered Monday May 26 2008, 10:51 am: you need to talk to your mom. if shes any mom at all, shed care about you and your health. tell her how you feel about how people make fun of you, and how it'd be better for both of you if you ate healthier.
you're something different. you like to excercise and eat healthy. thats good!!
you could also tell your mom that you'd like to do the grocery shopping, and learn (if you dont know how already) to make healthier meals for both of you.
good luck!
