Lucy RD

Lucy RD

JJ 16
do you have any like general tips

Ann 17
just tell them u wnt to change n ask them for support in doin so

Lucy RD
it depends on the situation...i would encourage everyone to first sit down at a time away from food and stress with a parent. tell them you would like to be healthier. tell them what you need from them to help support you...and everyone needs different things to feel support. some people want their parents to buy healthier food (ask for it or go shopping with them) or some want their parents to stop making fun of their weight.

Lucy RD
jj, do you feel like you could discuss your situation with a parent?

JJ 16
yes lucy

JJ 16
lucy i'll talk to them this week and let you know how it goes next week

Lucy RD
JJ, consider telling your parent that you are concerned about your health (start out with that) and then list the things they can do...you can even have them listed out before you sit down with them

Lucy RD
Cool JJ! Good luck!
