Weight Loss For Teens Support Group

u r who u r, dont change jus cuz ur mom doesnt accept u, she should love u all the same

i'm sure your mom doesn't want you to lose weight because she doesn't like how you look, its a health thing. she's a nurse, its responsible of her to want you to learn healthy eating and excercise habits. and if you have low self esteem then working towards making healty, positive changes and proving to yourself that you are capable of achieving a goal that will be difficult will help that alot. its not all about how you look, its how you feel.

my moms a nurse to so I see where you come from here. I think your mum should not put you down but bring you up and sopport you. its your choose wether you like the way you lok or not. theirs nothing rong with you dear, and I hope things get sorted out because I dont think she should make you feel like that x

my moms a nurse also, i need to lose a few lbs and everytime she mentiond it i just shut her down completly.. i just think of how much illl be a better mom than she

Sorry to say this but i think that ur mom is just trying to make u healthier. I really dont think she's trying to be mean. She may also realize that u want to do something for urself:)

I definetly think you should confront your mom about how you feel. Tell her that you are who are, just like brittney1 said.
Tell her it hurts you, and it only makes matters worse when she doesn't accept you.
If you hate how you look, and so does your own mother, who else is there to turn to for hope?
She needs to look at her daughters heart, not her size.
I understand how she is just keeping your best interest in mind, but she should do it in a healthier, less degrading way.
Like, she could go to the gym with you, or go "healthy" grocery shopping with you.
Communication and togetherness are the keys.

Good luck, really.
You are beautiful and I am sure you will be okay :)

You have no idea, my mom is the exact same way. But I realized something, she's right. She's right because I'm not happy with myself. So she only try's to put me on a diet so that I'm happier. Sometime's she doesn't say the nicest things, and sometimes she can just be a flatout bitch. But, I know she cares. Is it the same with your mom?

from your pic, i would say you are beautiful!

You are right, your mom should love you and your muffin top! Maybe you should try to have a convo with just her, ask her to listen to you before she says too much. Im sure that she just wants you to be healthy and live a long happy life. Im also sure she probally doesnt think that se is hurting you, most moms dont mean to hurt their babies, if you tell her she might not be so hard on you, she may try to help you find fun ways to be healthy and still let you be who you are.
Good luck dear!

My mom is exactly the same way as yours!!! its not easy to deal with her most of the time, but in the end i know that she loves me and she cares about me. The best thing for you is to talk it out with her, tell her it hurts you the way she talks about your weight. You will see that she says what she says with the best of intentions.

Your mom is a nurse not a counselor. Sounds like she just doesn't know how to be "soft" about the subject. Talk to her privately. Or even write her a note letting her know that when she brings your weight up it hurts your feelings. Be nice but tell her that you already know what your physical flaws are and when you are ready you will ask for her help and advice. Tell her you really appreciate her caring and wanting to help but right now it's hurting more than helping. Once she realizes what she's doing is hurting you she'll probably stop. Is she overweight? if so she may be saying it for herself too. If she is maybe the two of you can SUPPORT each other in a venture to lose weight like walking together or something. It might even bring you closer so you aren't so quiet with her.
