I feel your pain. Liposuction is not the solution. It would be best to discuss this with your parents or grandparents and seek the help of a professional nutritionist who will see you on a regular basis and help and follow you with a weight loss program. It sounds like you are motivated to lose weight, but need the help of someone who can direct you.
