I was also very embarrassed and didn't want to tell my mom about my weight but it ended up coming out when i was sitting there in the dressing room crying. If you want something, which it seems that you do, you have to go and do what it takes to make that happen. Talk to your mom privately and tell her that you want to go to this camp so she can look into it, you can say you want to be healthy- which is really the point of all this, to be a healthy, functioning individual. Do what you have to, be strong and hope it all works out for the best. :)

Listen, Dana, 2 months ago I worked up enough courage to tell my mom about my diet and lost 14 pounds! Just tell your parents your unhappy with your body and weight and ask them to consider weightloss camp. If you really want it, you need to tell them.
