This is a question The B3TA Confessional

With the Pope about to visit the UK, what better time to unburden yourself of anything that's weighing on your mind by posting it on the internet? Pay particular attention to the Seven Deadly Sins of lust, greed, envy, pride, posting puns on the QOTW board and the other ones. Top story gets to kneel before His Holiness's noodly appendage, or something

How blunt are you with them?
I know it is exactly what you don't want to have to do, but how blunt have you been with them? Would it be worth the tears and hatred short term to just tell them pretty much what you told us in your post - you feel they are hugely overweight, spiralling out of control and you feel they really need to do something about it as you are genuinely scared for their lives?

There may be a lot of tears, and they probably won't want anything to do with you if it works, but they need to realise, and if doing it that way lets them realise then it must be worth something.

Good/bad idea?

what about writing it all down in a letter
rather than confronting them face to face? That way they can digest the information in their own time. I don't expect they would read it and go on an immediate diet but it might give them food for thought ('scuse the pun) and start them thinking about things from another point of view?
