so i come from a latin family, where cooking with plenty of oil is pretty much a given. there is nothing much in our kitchen that can be considered healthy. i also hear that hispanics also suffer the greatest risk of diabetes or other heart conditions. my grandmother has diabetes, but we dont talk about any of those health risks at home. i did a BMI and am considered obese. i really want to lose weight, but cannot get myself to tell my parents. im 18 and if i tell them that i want to lose weight they might think i am anorexic. they will probably brush my comments off by just saying 'its ok, just eat' ...
how do i convince them that i am doing this for my health and am in no way doing this for any anorexic intentions? how do i get them to support my decision? please i need help fast, thank you.
