Many people find themselves trying to persuade their loved ones to lose weight.

However, the curious fact is that these conversations either do not bring any results or end in scandal.

Is it even possible to convince a loved one to lose weight?

As a rule, we are driven by concern for a loved one: excess weight destroys their health, negatively affects their self-esteem and generally has a bad effect on their life.

However, all our advice and requests will be ignored at best.

A person will be able to actively take charge of himself only if he wants to. Therefore, no requests, arguments or ultimatums are likely to work.

Therefore, it is necessary to act softly and delicately.

Suggest, for example, that you undergo a full examination. The tests will show how much excess weight has affected your body.

You can start by giving a dance or swimming pool membership or pay for yoga courses. Of course, these types of activities cannot be compared in effectiveness with intensive gym workouts, but the person will have the opportunity to really assess their current shape.
