Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and welcome to EmpowHer. This is certainly a "I can help you", "If you help me" situation. I would certainly talk to your Mom about you concerns to try and get her to understand your drive and perhaps even providing her some things that you would like to try to start a healthier eating lifestyle will be helpful (www.recipes.com) provides great recipes to assist in your challenge.
Secondly, STOP SMOKING. As a former smoker myself, I will tell you one thing...I am very active myself but I would sometimes choose to smoke instead of working out. This is an unhealthy and obviously something that should be stopped immediately. Smoking is just a detriment to your health so STOP.
Thirdly, when you work out, to lose weight....the most important thing to know is try and provide yourself at minimum 3 days a week of at least 30 minutes of cardio activity. This activity does not need to be high impact aerobics, but rather a possible jog or bike ride….just something to provide an increase to your heart rate.
These are just suggestions but without total control yourself, I know this will be a struggle....but guess what? YOU CAN DO THIS! I have faith in you.
Keep us posted on your progress as you coming to us for advice was the first step in the right direction.
