It helped me to talk to my mom about it, and tell her about my wanting to lose weight. If you have been wanting to lose weight, I would go ahead and talk to someone about it. My mom was very hesitant at first about me wanting to do Weight Watchers, but I talked her into it, and the next thing I knew I started going to meetings and lost about 1-2 pounds a week. It's something you need to be ready to do though. I don't think I was mentally ready for it. I know people dream about losing weight, but it doesn't make everything better. You still may not have high self-esteem or confidence after losing weight. I became depressed after losing 30 pounds because I was overwhelmed by it. Do what you feel is right...good luck!
