Re: Weighty problem
When it comes to diets, I think that it's easier to get into it if you start adding more healthy foods into your routine as well as having healthy alternatives for your snacks and drinks.
Start with a healthy breakfast (don't ever skip this meal). You can go for cereal for convenience sake, or you can cook some oatmeal/grains and make it a tasty meal by adding fruit, honey or flavors to the mix.
Always make sure that you're drinking enough water. I find that if I keep my thirst in check, I don't feel quite as hungry as would otherwise. Try to cut down on the soft drinks, and if you like tea, you can have fun discovering different teas that you'll like. If possible drink distilled water, it's the purest form of water and the best way to rehydrate yourself during training.
If you get hungry between meals, have yourself a healthy snack to eat. Toast, fruit, granola, etc, find something healthy that you like and remember to not make a meal out of it because it's just a snack.
As for a good lunch or dinner, your meals can be made diverse with chicken, fish, meats, grains and vegetables. Adding a salad to your dinner is a good step in the right direction. Your salads don't have to be boring either, you can add any vegetables or fruits that you like, and add different flavors instead of the common dressings. If your mom goes shopping for food, then come with her if you can. When you're out shopping pick out foods that will be helpful for your diet plan, better yet if you can get some healthy recipes and help out with the cooking you'll have a lot more enthusiasm for losing the weight and it'll be easier to stick with it.
If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
