Dear Brenda,My friend is obese, and she doesn't seem to want to do anything about it. No one likes to be told anything at any time, least if all something to do with something as personal as weight. Your role as a friend is to hint, but after that, it is her body. You cannot breathe or exercise for her, the same way you can't eat nyama for her or refuse to walk around for her. Just be there with a (manageable) diet and exercise plan when she decides that she is ready to take the plunge, and don't say "I told you so".
