Losing weight for a man?

There's a couple of men I'd really like to get to know better.  One I am currently dating and would love to keep dating him.  Another I've had a crush on for a while.  Both are equally cute and about the same age.  Both have wonderful potential.  However, I was talking to my mom the other day and she says I should lose weight.  I know I need to lose weight.  I just wish I had my parents backing me up on this.  It's hard to eat right when the people you live with refuse to do what you've asked them to do.  They refuse to buy food that is better for us.  It was much easier to do things on my own.  My dad refuses to help.  He says that whole grain pasta is gross.  Well, I've got news for him, I'm gross.  I usually HATE the way I look.  I know in order to win over these 2 men, I have to lose weight.  I know in order to be in a relationship, I have to be happy with myself.  I'm not entirely happy.  Most of that has nothing to do with my weight but losing weight would be a start.  At least one was honest with me and told me he'd be more attracted to me if I lost a little.  A little shouldn't be too hard, right? Let's start with 10...

Umm soooo not good

This is HORRIBLE!!!! Since I've started student teaching, I've gained weight.  I'm soooooo disappointed in myself.  I wish I could go back on Adderall to help with the weight management. Not that Adderall is for weight loss ONLY that was just one of the fringe benefits of it.  I was talking to Mr. Mom yesterday about apple cider vinegar and that helping, but it just sounds gross.  There's not really been a lot of research done on it.  I think really what I need is to go back on the diet I was on and eat more fiber.  I've considered a lot of things; but haven't been able to follow through with anything really so far.  I lack motivation and determination.  I'm not saying I'm not motivated or determined.  It's just that something happens between the doing and the thinking.  I don't know how to solve that problem.  It's an issue I've struggled with since I've tried losing weight since I was a freshman in high school.  I just want to be happy with my weight and the I look for once.
