hello /r/loseit, for a while now I have been wanting to lose weight but I have a problem. I am originally from Central America which means that in our culture the males are seen as fearless and emotionless. I was overweight before getting into college and I have gained a lot of weight since getting into college, my mom has done nothing but yell at me for it and every time I try and get motivated she always shoots me down with quite a lot of harsh criticism. I have tried to give myself smaller portions and try to run but then she yells at me for trying to change because that's not me she wants me to lose it by her own means. I have decided to finally discipline myself and begin to lose weight, I have written my own plan that I will begin to follow, but I am afraid that she will just laugh at it and force me to do it her way.. any help? tips on getting started? anything I need to know for the long run?
