If you this your parents are tying ot make sure you don't lose weight then prove them you can do it without there help. I know it may be hard but I am losing without my parents help. Then once you get down about 5 lbs and you are feeling a lot better about yourself go to them and try talking to them about acctually helping you. Explain to them how much better you feel now and talk to them about things you can do better like running longer, stretching farther, or be less winded after a sport. That way they can see your helping your body and doing it for a better you. They will know thats a good reason and they might want to try and be more suportive of you. You can do it!! It takes a lot but if your parents arn't really helping you with weight loss then you have to learn about what you do have in your house that is good for you and whats not. Thats what I've had to do.
