How do i tell my mom i think she needs to lose some weight without hurting her feelings?

Question

I'm concerned about my mom's health because she is almost 50 years old, eats bad foods and is overweight. I don't want her to have a heart attack later or have a lot of health problems. She is about 5'5 and weighs 180 pounds. I'm 15 and I want her to be healthy. She has always talked about how she wants to be thinner, but around the house I always see her eating ice cream or some kind of other snack. How do I tell her that she should try to get in shape nicely?

Answer 1

Just tell her that you care about her and you dont want anything bad to happen to her. Shes your mom. She should understand.

Answer 2

give her support and eat healthier with her. its easier if she has someone do it with her. maybe go walking together every day

Answer 3

There is no way to tell her and believe me she already knows. Its just really hard thing to do. Believe me I know. Its something she is going to have to do on her own and on her own time. No amount of nagging or telling her is going to do any good until SHE decides for herself that she is fed up with the way she looks.......

Answer 4

just tell her

and then tell her you love her and wat her around for a bit longer

Answer 5

BE NICE AND TELL HER WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF SHE DOESNT STOP AND TELL HER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HER THAT WAY

Answer 6
