I am trying to adapt a healthy lifestyle. But everytime when I do it, my parents seem to oppose it. When I excercise they mock me. And they want to force me to eat fast-food resturants almost every single day. And when I refuse they get disappointed and they said that I don't appreciate them. So, how can make my parents to be in favor in my healthy lifestyle? ------

Stop trying to change them. It is easier for you to forgive and forget then for them to change. Just show your resolve wherever you go with them. Don't discuss the issue, just eat healthy. You are still looking for and useing them as an excuse, maybe? If they see your life improving they may want to cooperate. But if you move from denial to deprivation then resentment, in attitude, they will help you get back to where you are easier to live with and manipulate. ------

To each its own. They will eventually stop mocking you, but you cannot make them stop until they decide to stop. You can still go out with them, just get a salad or something like that.The bottom line is that it's your life and your body. Do not feel bad because you're being smart and responsible about it. ------

How sad that they have no idea how a healthy lifestyle can change things! Sometimes, especially with family or close friends they don't want to see you lose weight or be healthy because it makes them feel worse about themselves, misery loves company. Hopefully they will see how your life and health are improving and may follow suite. Either way keep it up and good for you for wanting to make a change, if not them it will probably inspire somebody. ------
