My daughter is becoming obese.

I dont want to destroy her ego. How do I broach the subject? Has anyone been in the same situation?

I wouldn't tell her anything.
Seems unnecessary if they're adults already, after all it's her body.

@SW-User That's what my wife says. As a parent though you always worry.

@JimboSaturn she needs to take her own decisions about that. Lots of people feel bad and uncomfortable cause feel often that pressure, it makes them more anxious and worse about themselves and others insecure etc

@SW-User I agree, she does want to exercise more. I bought a home gym I just have to get it assembled; pretty sure she is excited to use it.

@JimboSaturn that's good, if that's part of her decisions you can motivate her, but don't body shame her.
But also most people don't end up exercising much at home so that's why gyms are usually better..
If it's about being healthy mostly

@SW-User Agreed.
