I'm 13 and 320lbs. I've tried so hard to eat better and exercise. It's hard especially since my family is going through a money dry spell and healthy foods are expensive in New Zealand. Also my family are always busy with work especially when I'm the youngest by 8 yrs. it makes it hard to be motivated. I need help! Please?

Hello,

So, you're 13 and 320 pounds.  Well, I don't know how tall you are but 320 sound definitely heavy.  You said you tried a number of diets and nothing is working for you.  I think this calls for medical intervention.  You need to talk with your doctor or a nutritionist.  there is a possiblity that you have tumors in the hypothalamus or pituitary or problems with the thyroid.  All of these things need to be checked by a professional.  I would go to the doctor as soon as possible.  If you don't have insurance and not much money, you might try a clinic.  I'm not sure how they work things in New Zealand.  Whatever it is, it could be a life time situation that calls for attention now.  See if they have any free clinics that you may qualify for.
