How can I help motivate my boyfriend?

Cali86

I love my boyfriend and I try to support him as much as I can but lately it's been getting hard for me to do so.

So I am a pretty active person. I enjoy exercising and trying to be healthy. My partner though, not so much. I understand you have to find what you like but lately his unhealthy ways is working much more against him. He's having health issues right now and even the doctors and lists on how to help ease his symptoms say that physical activity even light activity can help. I encourage him to even go for 20 mins walks just so he can get moving but he always makes excuses. I invite him to come to the gym with me and there's always something. It's getting to the point that the more he complains about his health issues, the less I can be supportive because he's not doing all he can. He tries to make small changes but he still does all the unhealthy things. I feel like he's not taking it seriously and expects only pills to do the work and not him.

So I really would like to know, how can I help him? How can I encourage and tell him that even small steps towards being healthy and physical activity can alleviate his health issues. I am trying my best to be patient but it's hard listening when I know he can try harder to help himself.
