Ok, so I bought a weightloss tea and my parents found out, then I lied and said my friend wanted me to get it for her. Now my mom wants to talk to her mom. I have no idea what to do?

Your mom probably knows it's for you, but is waiting for you to step up and admit it. Tell her the truth so you don't get the other friend in trouble.

If you are trying to lose weight, talk to your mom about this. Perhaps she can help buy other foods that will be helpful for you and not buy any junk food / soda to have in the house.  Walk at least 30 minutes every day and drink a lot of water.

Yep.

Besides, actual research by unbiased labs show most "diet" supplements don't do anything. And most of them are full of fillers, and not even the ingredients they show on the label.

Thankyou. I have actually joined the cross country team and I bought the tea nearly a month ago and only used it once. My mom hasn't brought up the issue and I said that I realize it was wrong of ne to get it and she was ok

If you bought something that you tried to hide AND you've lied about it then you are ashamed of something. What are you trying so hard to hide? Coming clean to your parents about your lie is an opportunity to be honest about what's going on with you. I think it's important for you to go to your parents about what is happening, so they can be supportive, guide you through and finally so you are not dealing with it alone. 

I am a mom whose daughter came to her when her dieting became an issue. It is my job to be there for my daughter no matter what. It's your parents job too. Please tell them everything. You'll feel better. I know it's scary, but it's going to be a lot worse if they find out the truth another way instead of from you. Let your parents be there for you.

What a tangled web we weave when we first try to deceive.  Time to come clean here and just tell your Mom that you seriously thought she would be mad for trying a dietary item without asking her first. Truth is always the best solution so you don't have to remember what lies you've told. So start with, "Mom Im sorry and I...."  Good luck

Just tell the truth, she's your mom, and will find out the truth anyway, best to hear it from you.

Do the right thing, come clean and tell the truth. Trust me it's better to tell the truth now then keep adding on to a lie and get in even more trouble later.

Just tell here.

I can see why you might not want to say it was really for you and your mon should understand that.
