This person wants to know how to create a shared account on Wattpad, and how to gain confidence in their appearance.

Hello,

Let's take this one step at a time, shall we? First off, making a shared account is as easy as making a personal account. It is essentially the same thing, after all. To make a shared account, you make a regular account she share the login information with whomever you choose to share the account with. As for other collaborative efforts, it depends on if you want to collaborate with other pages or with other people on your page. You can always reach out to other pages, and see if they would be open to a collaboration between the two of you, but again, it depends on what you want to do and what type of projects you're wanting to attempt. Try to have a general plan set up before reach out to someone, but be open to changes so that you can make sure the project works for both of you. Collaboration is between two parties, so both of your opinions should have an equal stand.

Moving on, you want to lose some belly fat. No worries. We can definitely give you some advice here, but do keep in mind that this advice is general information or things that have worked for us personally. All bodies are different, and so not all of the advice we give in this area may work for you, but that is nothing to be discouraged about. You said your biggest issue is self-motivation. You want to do something about it, but you keep finding reasons to push it off. Unfortunately, there is only so much I can do to advise you in this area. Ultimately, it is up to you to motivate yourself, and to make yourself get up. I can give you a few tips to help you though.

1) Make a plan, and commit to it. You mentioned that you are going to try a workout challenge on Youtube. Make a plan (how often you are going to work out, what days, etc.), and stick to it! Soon, it will become part of your routine, and it won't be so hard to make yourself do it.

2) Be positive. It is really easy to fall into trends of negative thinking (telling yourself you're too lazy, or that it won't work anyway, etc.), and these negative thoughts make it really hard to motivate ourselves to meet our goals. Try to look at it with an optimistic lens. You don't want to do it, but it will be good for you in the long run.

3) Most importantly, set goals! Setting goals for yourself makes it easier to self-motivate, especially when you start to see yourself getting closer to reaching that goal.

As for tips for losing belly fat, don't forget cardio. This doesn't always mean running. Going for a bike ride, or a brisk walk, or even swimming all count as cardio. Get your heart pumping! It definitely helps to pair these area-specific workouts with a healthy dose of cardio and other body areas as well. For example, I do core and abs four days a week, and I alternate between upper body and legs on those days. That way, I can get a more rounded our work out routine that benefits my whole body. I also go for walks because I personally do not enjoy running, and it'll be a bit before the pools open back up for the summer. Find something that you like to do, even a little bit, and that will make it easier to bear with. And keep your goals in mind!

Now, you briefly mentioned you have an issue with self-confidence. Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. It is a state of mind. You have to be able to accept your strengths and weaknesses for what they are, and be able to roll with that. Look at what you have accomplished thus far in your life. Look at what you're good at, what you excel at, what you enjoy. Self confidence is about being confident in your abilities. It is not being perfect, or arrogant, or anything like that. It's all about perspective. Reflect on that for a while. I think it might help after you think on it for a bit.

I hope this helps, love. We wish you all the best! And if you have anything else you might like advice on, feel free to come back and ask us again. We are here and happy to help you.

Stay strong,
