How to get someone you care about to workout and eat healthy

Ryan 7 years ago updated by andy 7 years ago 2

My mom is overweight and is considered obese. She works 4 12 hour long days and 1 8 hour day and is very  exhausted  when she gets home. On the weekends she just sits on the couch and relaxes.. I try to get her to exercise even if it's to just go out for a walk. Or to have her track her food and eat a bit healthier. She wants no part of it. She realizes she's overweight and knows that she needs to change it but is to "lazy".  What can I try to do besides educate her about the importance of eating healthy and exercising ?

Hey Ryan, All you can do is tell her you love her and want her to live longer. BUT, if she isn't motivated to do it herself, you harping on it will just strain your relationship
