[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was getting pretty big when I was that age. One day, my mom bought some Slim-Fast and said she was going to try it. She very subtly asked me if I wanted to try it too. I don't remember exactly how she pulled this off, but somehow I was not offended. So i did try it (after we asked our dr if it was ok), and the pounds fell off pretty quickly since I was so young. People noticed and I enjoyed the attention. This motivated me to stick with it. i looked amazing by my senior prom!  :D  Looking back, i realize my mom bought the Slim-Fast for me and she was not interested in it for herself. I have never ever known my mom to diet. She probably chose Slim-fast because she knew that I loved sweets/chocolate, so i would jump all over the opportunity to drink 2 chocolate shakes every day! LOL! I'm not promoting or suggesting Slim-Fast, just saying that maybe you can subtly suggest something you both can try. maybe start using My Fitness Pal and see if she shows an interest if you talk it up.
