A member asked:

How might i get parents to be more supportive of weight loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There is: No easy answer, but try to impress them with the effort you are putting forth to improve your lifestyle. Maybe they would want to attend support sessions (like weight watchers) with you, or even participate in a weight loss program of their own if they're overweight.
