Summer will be here before you know it, this will give you a great oppertunity to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors by going for walks, jogs, bike rides and even playing a favourite sport. That's what I do in the summer and I always enjoy it. Remember that you should eat lots of healthy foods (Preferably fruits, vegetables, milk products and lean meats) and stay away from fried foods and foods with lots of calories and high fat. And, if your parents make rude comments to you, then you should say "You know, being my parents and all, you guys should be a little more supportive and actually want to help me lose weight instead of putting me down and making me feel bad because it is going to make things worse, not better for me" And, maybe you should tell them that you do not appriciate when they make remarks about you or just ignore them. Remember, losing weight does take time, but if you put your mind to it, then you can achieve anything and you will be satisfied with your results in the end! Good Luck! |
