ok, so im over weight. very overweight for my age. im 210 lbs, and im 16. the weight accumulated over the years throughout my childhood. it was always 'have a kool-aid' here, and a 'its one cookie. it wont hurt.' there, and i never learned any healthy habits as a child from anybody in my family. i remember going to my nanas house for spring break and gaining ten pounds while i was there for a week when i was ten. now, i really want to change. i dont want to look the way i do now, and i want to be healthier. i have adopted some healthy habits. i used to drink soda like it was water when i was younger, but now for every soda i drink, i make myself drink 2 glasses of water, and it has deterred me from drinking soda. i eat more fruits and veggies. the problem is that i cant cook, and i eat differently than the rest of my family (im a pescatarian). my parents always tell me to lose weight, but they arent exactly the healthiest either. if you open our fridge, you will find pizza (pepperoni, so thankfully its one thing that i CANT eat), ice cream, donuts, etc. i try not to eat what they buy, but, regretfully, a lot of time that doesnt always work. i suck at cooking, so there is not much i can do besides eat fruit and lean cuisine (although my sister does sometimes cook me very delicious vegetarian meals (she is a vegetarian)). can anyone give me tips on how to change my eating habits and easy recipies for me to try? (and when i say i cant cook, i mean it. i burn everything)
i have never posted anything like this before, and i never talk about it with my parents because then they think that i should dedicate my ENTIRE life to losing weight and give me **** when i do things like watch my favorite tv show at 7pm. so what im trying to say here is please be a little bit sensitive toward my feelings. be honest, but not harsh. thank you so so so much.
