Disappointed but not discouraged

Try not to let it get you down Soup. Everyone has to come to the decision on their own. I've come across the same problem. People have to be ready to put in the work to lose the weight. A lot of times they are intimidated by the amount of work it takes so they don't want to bother in the first place. It can be a total motivation killer if you let it rub off on you. When they finally get to that point where they are ready to do something about it, then they will come ask you for advice. In the meantime, humor them when they talk about wanting to lose weight, but don't try to talk them into it. We're all here for you Soup and we're ready to commit! :-)
