She has to want to. You could tell her you're embarassed. But, she will probably cry and become demotivated.

Wow, Camille, that must be hard. You know what, I think the first step toward getting this whole thing fixed is not to start with your mom (I bet you have already talked to her like a kazillion times) but to start with the other person this situation is hurting,,,you. You need some help and some support. You need understanding and a place to talk about your feelings. I want to encourage you to look for that help, maybe at school from someone you trust, or at your place of worship. You need to ask how a young person like you can find good counselling and information. That's a good beginning. I bet you will feel a whole lot better! And once you are doing ok, you can help your mom. And never forget...you are one terrific kid!

First of all, you can't MAKE her lose weight, only she can make that choice. Second, you only get one mom, love her for who she is. You can voice your concerns to her that her weight may cause her health problems and that you are worried about her. You should not be embarrassed by her. Lots of people have overweight parents. It also depends on your opinion of OVERweight (bigtime) is......
Keep yourself active and eat well too, as you may be able to eat what you want now, as you get older you too may have to work at staying at a "normal weight".
Good luck to you...and don't worry so much.

If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate, and plan your diet carefully. Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx

you shouldn't be really embarrassed about her weight, if she is obese then you need to worry about her health. i think you need to express your concerns to your mum, the only way you can do this is by talking to her about it, tell her you are concerned about her health. if she thinks the same then give her tips and advice i.e on healthy eating and exercise you can get plenty of leaflets on those topics at the doctors or any health centres/clinics.
don't be embarrassed about your mums weight look beyond the the physical appearance. I'm sure if you were to be obese your mother would not think like you.

Try asking her if she wants to start walking or doing other types of exercise with you. You don't need to point out that she is overweight. She knows it and probably does not like it either.

Nothing. It is her life, and her choice, and no matter how good it would be for her health to lose weight. it is her issue and not yours. Go worry about your schoolwork -- and keep an eye on your own weight.

Plead with her to lose weight for her own health and longevity. I lost by walking more and diet shakes - cutting calories.
