I know how it is to be tall and want to lose weight. I am 6 foot even myself and sometimes people just assume you are supposed to be bigger cause you are tall. Good luck

you have a job- so maybe you should go and buy special- really healthy foods that still taste good to you and just for you for snacks and maybe only eat one meal at home and have two very health- low calorie meals. good luck!

I kno how u feel my parents are the same way. It's hard sticking to a diet when your own parents wont help. You should try counting back on carbs and fat. NO SODA just water and maybe grapefruit juice. I drink ruby red cuz its good for you too.
