Hey try not to ever be ashamed of yourself. talk to your mom about your problems and tell her that you really want to lose weight. maybe then she will cook the right things you need to accomplish your goals. if she won't cook what you want her to, then tell her you want to start fixing your own meals. Walking is a great way to exercise. but really ask your mom to help you because you cant do it by yourself. good luck!
