Ht. 5'3", Wt. Start:218 Now:207.5 - I have a hard time staying away from fast food and resturants because my mom gets us food from out to eat all the time. I am homeschooled, so it makes it easier for her to go out and get something ratherthan just fixing something from around the house. And we always go out to eat on friday nights and Sunday lunch. I probably get to go out to eat 4-5 times a week. And my mom NEVER wants to go anywhere like subway, or any place where I can get fesh/healthy food. So how do I tell my parents not to go out so much, and all that stuff??? I know that's one of the reasons I gained 20 pounds last year.

Maybe you can't stop your mom, but you can stop yourself. Tell your mom you'd rather not go out, and tell her about how you are trying to lose weight. Most likely, she will understand.

Just tell them that you want to lose weight, and that you don't want to eat out as much.
