Crop Top Season
I want to get ready for crop top season. And my belly hasn't been as flat as it used to (even thought it wasn't super flat before). But in order to do that I need to excersie and eat healthy. But it is hard to eat healthy when my parents bring unhealthy foods into the ALL THE TIME. And I don't want to tell them because they will think I'm trying to lose weight and stuff. Any advice?

Im going to back the other poster on this but i also want to add. See if theres anyway you can maybe go to the store WITH them and "HELP" pick some things out you'd like.
Ask them ahead of time if you guys can start eating other things not just "the same old stuff" and encourage them to try new things like salads or maybe baked chicken instead of fried "because its healthier for you" see where im going with this??
If you can get every people to slowly be on board with it, you may just get them to start thinking about their own fitness as well! and thats never a bad thing.
I did it with my family and now we all eat much healthier, and they are happier because of it.
You CAN buy healthier foods that are still on the cheap side if you shop at discount grocery stores like food 4 less. Trying to ready made salads is great, then going to the grocery section and bagging your own things to add to them like tomatoes, and mushrooms.
If you can get them to buy raw chicken and bake it instead of frying it, you can SAVE the left over chicken from that and make yourself a chicken salad!
(warning though, stay away from dressings like ranch if your trying to lose weight) ONLY oil based dressings are actually helpful.
Try cooking some sausages for breakfast everyday before you go on with your day! your body LOVES protein and it'll aid in your body and brain function.
Make homemade soaps and say that your just playing with a few ideas you had for making some good soup and you wanted to try something new.
most importantly, no matter what your eating ALWAYS listen to your tummy! if your brain is starting to say "im full" then stop eating because once the food your still in the middle of swallowing reaches your stomach youll feel like youve stuffed yourself sick! ; )
Eat slower, and listen to your body.

How do you know they will think you are trying to lose weight? Are you predicting they won't approve? If so, I can only guess that you are anorexic and they are trying to watch out for your best interests.
As for food, healthy intake is good, but in the short time you have, abdominal exercises will do more to help strengthen the muscles and flatten the stomach. Do those crunches. You might ask the gym teacher if there is anything else besides stomach crunches they recommend to help tighten up your tummy. You are doing a wise thing to think of that now rather than wait until a little bit before school is out.
You can mention what you like to have in groceries, but if the parents don't like to eat that way, you can't change them. You could go for a job, earn your own money to buy healthier meals for yourself, at least healthy snacks and maybe healthy alternatives for your sack lunch.
