Help! My mom doesn't buy or make healthy foods.?
My mom rarely buys fruit or vegetables, I'm 13 years old and I don't have money to buy healthy foods. (I really like fruit and vegetables) She usually buys junk food and for dinner she buys pizza, chinese food or makes burgers, pork chops with green beans with tons of salt and butter and spaghetti. When she does buy healthy food everyone usually finishes it in a day or two. They're my family and I love them. but they can be pigs
My mom won't buy healthy food?
ask her to buy you some fruit and say you are trying to get healthy... see if you can educate her on how to make meals healthier. steam, bake, microwave, roast and grill food instead of frying it. eat big portions of veg, salad and have fruit for snacks. tell her you would like wholemeal bread, then use less butter / spread on it. just make some small gradual changes. every little bit helps. 5 A DAY http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Pages/P...

My Parents Never Buy Healthy Food?
In my house, it's just my parents and I. My sister is older so she live's out on her own. Just recently my grandmother sold us her house for pretty cheap. My mom has a job but only gets paid minimum wage. And my dad is disabled so he lives off of social security or something... I've never been sure of why exactly he doesn't work. But pretty much my whole life I've lived off of cereal and mashed potatoes. My mom is always saying how she can't afford to buy real food, but is able to afford a butt load of other things. When she does go grocery shopping it's to get milk, a box of cereal, macaroni, and butter. Which she only goes maybe once every 2 months. I go to a tech school since it's my senior year, and I'm training to be a chef so I like to cook.... healthy stuff. My parents are always buying honey buns, chips, pretzels... etc. So I don't eat it! Because it's soooo unhealthy! I tell my mom ALL the time I'd like her to get vegetables and fruit because that's what I like! I'm a vegetarian so she makes that as an excuse for herself not to be able to go food shopping. So I pretty much just don't eat. I'm currently 102lbs because in the past month I've lost weight. But she's always complaining about how I barely eat and that I'm always losing weight. In my mind I'm just like... mom. you never buy real food. I just don't know what to do :/ I can't even get lunch at school, and I never have anything to bring.... So I pretty much go the entire day without eating. Obviously I can't buy my own food, or else I totally would.
My mom wont buy me food!?
While I don't think you're a spoiled brat about the food thing, I think you should try to get your mom to meet you half way...if you can. Compromise and tell her you'll start making healthy dinners for the whole family if she will let you get your food. Maybe you guys can bond by planning meals off Pinterest -they have GREAT ideas. AND try eating meat....it's good for you. AND if you're pushing for all the organic stuff try cutting back on the demands. I think its great that you want to eat healthy. If my daughter grows up picking up an apple instead of chips I'll be happy. As for the way she treats you that is NOT okay. She is completely tearing you down and killing your self-esteem. No child should ever have to endure the kind of ill-attention she is giving you. When she says she's going to kick you out it's the equivelant of you telling your mom you hate her -which i know would break my heart if my daughter were to say it to me... She is neglecting you and that is not okay! I think if you call the police it will make things worse.. I would try talking to a school counselor or a family member... maybe a friend's parent. ESPECIALLY because you feel suicidal...you need to talk to someone. AND don't use that as an insult to throw in your mom's face during an argument, because chances are she will ship you off somewhere instead of getting upset and getting to the bottom of why you are having those feeling. I'm sorry you have the same mom I have. Not same in every way but definitely emotionally damaging. AND at least like me, you will treat your kids differently because you won't want to be like your mother(:
My parents refuse to buy healthy food?
I'm so sick of being surrounded by junk 24/7. It makes me feel terrible when I eat it so I don't. Literally this whole year I've been trying to persuade my mom to buy healthy foods but it barely works. She'll buy apples, oranges, bananas, and dried stuff which is good but lasts like a week in my house then it's back to junk. Both my parents are heavy and over 200 pounds but I'm skinny(except for my stomach which is kinda chubby and I blame my parents shopping for that agh) and I want us all to be healthy but that's clearly not going to happen. My mom is too blind to see that eating this way is causing problems because she has had blood clots in the past and my dad has had kidney stones twice (idk if that has anything to do with diet). Anyway, can you please help me come up with stuff to say to them? Thanks!
How do I get my health freak mom to buy me better food?
I want to gain weight because I'm underweight for my height and I'm sick of everyone teasing me about being anorexic, but the only thing is thats practically impossible in my house because my mom is a health freak! My mom barely keeps any food in the house, and its ALL organic and low sugar and fat and really discusting. For example, right now my fridge is filled with plain organic yogurt, organic brocolli and organic turkish figs. I cant eat any beef because my mom is still scared about mad cow, and we never have dessert. Im usually hungry all day, but we have no good food to eat! I dont know why my mom is like this, nobody in our family is fat and needs a diet. Its so embarrasing when my friends come over and are hungry and we have nothing to offer. Wheras when I go over to my friends houses, Ill go insane and gobble up all their chocolate and fat foods cuz I never get that at home! So how can I convince my mom to buy better food? I know she cares, but I cant take it anymore!
How do i convince my parents to buy healthy food?
I have a fat belly, so i want abs. well not really hardcore 6 pack juicy abs, because on a girl that looks kinda gross to me. And weird arms, like, theyre chubby like a 4 year olds. So my parents rarely buy healthy food, all I get to eat is hamburgers (I dont even like hamburgers, but thats my only dinner and since kids in Africa are suffering, i suck it up.) ramen, and pizza. The only healthy thing my parents buy is orange juice, but i usually end up buying that [and I`m 14, no possible way to get a job, I have to save Christmas money and birthday money for a year] My mom is really fat, along with my dad. It doesnt look bad on my dad because he has like a Santa belly like hes pregnant or something. But my mom`s fat is just...not acceptable, like jelly rolls every where. I even told my mom upfront she was fat and she yelled at me (She asked if some shirt made her look fat and i told her the truth) then i dropped the bomb that it would be nicer to have vegetables and fruits and she made the excuse that those were "more disgusting and expensive." I told her it gave me more energy,my dad agreed but they still wont buy healthy foods?! how do I convince mostly my mom to buy healthy foods? Sorry for my little rant though
