“Ex-Model Mom’s Brutal Truth About Beauty Shatters Daughter’s Confidence: The Shocking Response That Follows!”
If you’re worried about a loved one’s unhealthy habits and health, it really does matter how you phrase things. Broadly speaking, the less judgmental you are, the better. Someone who feels constantly under attack is unlikely to listen to you. Meanwhile, your criticism has to offer some solutions, instead of being just snide comments about how someone’s living life ‘wrong.’
Outside factors like specific rewards can be useful when you have a concrete aim, but it’s your intrinsic goals that will keep you motivated in your fitness journey when things get tough. If you decide to live a more active and healthy life, you should do it for yourself, not for the sake of a dress or to meet someone’s expectations for you.

If you find activities and types of movement that you enjoy, it can help you motivated while you shift your lifestyle
In the meantime, keep in mind that people’s genetics, environments, bodies, and expectations are different. So, what works for one person in terms of exercise and diet might not work for someone else.
You need to focus on the types of movement that genuinely excite you or that you at least don’t mind doing over and over again.
For example, your family and friends might pressure you to go jogging because they love it, but you hate it, unlike, say, swimming, tennis, hiking, or soccer. Or vice versa! Do what you can personally sustain over multiple months and years, not just what’s popular in your social group. You’re far more likely to stick with things that you enjoy.
