I need help on weightloss its not for me its for my mom. she is a 35 year old single mother with 2 kids and feels horrible about herself. I will admit shes not huge but shes big and it was not always like that, when i was younger she was tiny but after my brother was born she just cant seem to lose the weight. and she spends so much money on these weight loss programs but nothing ever works and there always for people that eat to much junk and dont excercise. and thats not her she eats pretty healthy doesnt eat junk food except maybe on a super rare occasion drinks nothing but water all day long and is always on the go. and she tries to excersise but we live around alot of young people so she gets embarrased to work out around them and cant at night because she works. she does really try though but she cant lose the weight and i know it bothers her so bad just yesterday someone asked when she was due and ive never seen her look so upset. it kills me because i know i have put her through so much stress (not the best child as a teenager) and so has my little brother. my mom has been there with me through everything and i want to see her happy again. i always see these things on tv like the biggest loser ans stuff but she has a little boy she has to worry about she cant just leave like that, and all these shows that pay for weight loss surgeries and make overs and stuff but its never around for us and our insurance wont pay for it. my mom is so beautiful and does anything to make us happy and i want to do the same for her but i dont know how. please help!
