Something more than a weight loss program would be needed.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

I truly commend you for your concerns about your friends health/weight issue. HOWEVER, until your friend makes up his/her mind to do something about it, there's not much you can do. . . Be supportive, not an enabler. Try to avoid making food/eating part of your routine with him/her. Instead of going out for diner suggest a movie, a game, a walk. While it's ok to express your concerns DON'T be a nag. Often that is counterproductive.
Unless you're a skinny minny ;-). Ask if your friend would join you going to check out a weight loss club. Say u are concerned about YOUR weight. There are several here in TV.
Obesity is a serious health issue but as others here have posted it usually has little to do with self control and just overeating.
