From Melissa, Age 15

Ht. 5'4", Start: 173 lb, Today: 173 lb, Goal: 130 lb - It's long but bear with me :) I wanted to discuss with you guys if you feel people are hypocrital. My parents are CONSTANTLY telling me not to eat too much, and to exercise more and to eat healthier...but I watch them and their overweight, they don't eat healthy, they don't buy healthy stuff and well I don't think it's very encouraging and it doesn't really make me appreciate my parents at all. It just makes me dislike them because they aren't encouraging me or helping me at all. I know my mom wants to lose weight desperately and I know she's been really unhappy for a long time with herself but I feel like her low self confidence has caused me and my older sister to be heavier. My brothers are athletic so I dont know what happened to me and my sis. I hate it because my mom constantly is talking about losing weight, every year her new year's resolution is to lose weight, but she never puts in the motivation to exercise or stay dedicated to it. and now because of her example i am the same way. i can be motivated but that doesn't mean i'll be dedicated about weight loss. so what i want is advice. i want to know how i can stay motivated and dedicated to lose weight even though my family is not helping or encouraging me in anyway way ??
