But my mom still keeps me on this diet. I am very very confused. Why doesn't she listen to my doctor.
Rebekah,

This is a very difficult situation, because at the end of the day mom makes the rules! If you get some good exercise most days of the week, that has a similar effect as eating less food. Besides, "diets" are only short term fixes. What's best is a long term lifestyle change.

Think you could get your mom to post on here?
