I can make her a fighter. I already have gave her insight at eating much better than she did. and she loves that, I know when shes ready to workout, she will take off with it.

If SHE wants to correct her body, then it is within her power (as much as can be that is). But she's being influenced by you, her mom. Maybe an outside person who is not so invested in her might be a better resource.

At the risk of unpopularity here (yeah like that's stopped me before)....there are different ways to motivate people. Some people are motivated by embarassment. Arnold was shamed into building his calves, embarassed by how small they were in comparison. Some people are motivated by anger (which I still believe is the most powerful motivator). Some by love (of self or others). Some by health.

She needs to soul search just what she's bothered by, why, what she's willing to do about it (with or without your support), and just do it. If she waits for everything to be perfect, you're going to be repeating this post on this forum 2 years from now and nothing will have changed.

We do that here. Original question answered...then drift onto other things, further...and further....and further.

I'm pretty sure that once a running shoe discussion turned into a discussion about bigfoot. If it didn't...it should have. Or may still.
