I'm 14 years old, and want to lose a little bit of weight. However, my Mum won't listen when I ask her not to give me such large portions- she often gives me almost 1000 calories a meal. I've asked her not to cook me so much but she just gets angry and we argue. To make it worst, she eats far less than anyone in my family.

How do I tell her to stop feeding me so much without it breaking out into an argument again?
 
Just because its on your plate doesn't mean you have to eat it. If she still gives you large amounts then just eat what you think is enough and trash the rest.
 
Just leave some on your plate and say `Phew. I feel really full. My stomach feels bloated. I can`t eat another mouthful`. I am sure that after a few times of this diplomatic approach, she will start putting less on your plate.

(Leave only small amounts at first, so that she sees you are eating most of it).
