Hi. I've tried to lose weight a lot, but I'm always discouraged by my family. I try and start a new diet and they laugh at me and tell me that I'm not going to follow through, ergo, I don't follow through. I'm underaged and don't have a car and recently got fired from my job, so I have to rely on them, but my Mother will not help me buy healthy alternatives and she'll pick up a bunch of canned and instant food, insisting I can't cook. She constantly makes fun of me for my weight and insists that I'd be so much prettier if I were thin. I hope with support from here I'll be able to follow through.

Thanks.:)
