Well, the title really says it all.
I am a 285 pound, 5’2 teenage girl. I cannot stress how unhealthy I am. I have so much I want to do but my asthma (probably due to my severe obesity) is terrible and my mom makes everything hard. I can’t work, learn how to drive, or catch certain city bus routes (I’m very familiar with the buses. I’m a dual enrolled high school student and that’s how I get to college most of the time.) simply because she doesn’t want me to. Exercising from home is hard because I’m either tending to my autistic little brother or someone in the basement wants everyone upstairs to be quiet. I’ve even tried walks but I become the black sheep of the family when I refuse to take my little brother with me. He has an hour long outburst when we return.
It doesn’t help that with all of this that I have a fear of being hungry. We are poor and there were times when I was younger that we would go almost an entire month with decent meals. It’s gotten a lot easier the the fear is still there. I eat so I don’t regret it when we don’t have food.
Is there anything I can do to start changing my life without my mom interfering? I tried talking to her and she’s very supportive but she always goes back to normal within a few days. It hurts me to say this and I don’t mean to offend anyone but when you have a black mother, your voice is a bit deaf to her. Is there something I can do to change how I think when I eat? I am so desperate. I just want to be normal.
