I am only 8 more pounds than I was last year but I feel terrible! I'd really like to lose some weight but dieting is really a family affair. My mother is ALWAYS buying junk, even though I'm always asking her to buy something healthy. Sometimes she can be really insensitive. There is nothing healthy in my house to eat.

When I'm really on a weight loss kick, I keep myself busy by cooking and cleaning. I'll also try and get out more. It really helps.
