Ht. 5'5'', Wt. 180 - hi how do I tell my mom i want to see a dietician or see a weight loss doctor? (she weighs as much as me, by the way, so shes a bit overweight herself) shes always like "if you want to lose weight get off the darn computer and go on a bike ride!" i want more support than that. I want to lose 40-45 lbs. she wont even let me get a scale! she keeps saying "i wont let you get a scale, i am afraid you get obsessed with it!" and when I say i want to go on a diet, she says "I don't want you to go on a diet because i am afraid you'll lose weight (ummm...duh....) and diets are really stupid" SHE WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME!! SHE WONT EVEN LET ME BUY BOOKS ON DIETING!!!! Please someone tell me how to reason with this woman!!!

See if maybe your mum will do this with you...just stick to trying to convince her...she will eventually say yes
Reply from Katie, Age 12 - 12/03/05 - IP#: 204.111.120.xxx I understand. You see you have to talk you mom into it tell her that it is really important to you, tell her that if you dont lose weight that there are seriose health risks. You have to show her though that if you go on a diet plan that you will stick to it and show her that it isnt important to you if other people think your fat (even if you do) tell her that YOU think your fat and need a few tips. (Hint: If you can get a little tear in you eyes) Remember; STICK TO IT DONT GIVE UP!!!
