Yes, you just have to lead by example. Perhaps when she sees you getting slim and gorgeous she'll decide to try too, and THEN you can advise because she will be ready to accept it.

I hope that your friend will come to realize that you care about her and were trying to help. It is frustrating. My sis is probably close to 300 pounds and although she talks about wanting to lose weight, she doesn't stick to anything for any length of time. I've talked to her about Atkins, but I can't make her do it. I know it would help her, but she has to ready and willing. She says she "can't" give up bread. I told her she could work her way up to whole grains. She said she "can't" give up potatoes. I told her about fauxtatoes. She says.. but that's how I grew up.. meat, veggie, and bread for a meal. I grew up the same way sis. She has my DANDR and says she will read it, but she won't do anything until she's ready and I have to accept that. I hope that my success will motivate her, but I'll have to wait and see.
