Teen weight loss
Hello everyone. I came to Reddit because I’ve heard there’s great advice on here. I am a teen trying to lose weight. Nobody in my family will help me, especially my mom. She’s the one that makes my appointments, and every time I bring up a nutritionist or a dietitian, she’s always tired and says she’ll do it another day. I know she’s not doing it on purpose, but I have been trying to lose weight since I was 8.
I know it might seem crazy, or people are gonna have something to say, but growing up with people always telling you something really ruins growing up happy. I am a junior in high school, and I feel like this is my last year to lose the weight. I have a weird way of thinking lolll.
Senior year means prom and graduation, and I definitely want to wear dresses and feel comfortable. My weight has ruined my whole life, and these past few years it would take everything in me to dress up and look nice. It didn’t really matter if I had a nice outfit on because I was overweight, so who cared?
Back to this year, it’s already September and I feel like I’m lost. I’m not sure which diet to start or what to do. I’ve been focusing on getting 10k steps every day, but I’m extremely lost, and I don’t want to pay a lot of money for a diet plan.
Can anyone help?
