And honestly, if she really is 5'7" and in the 250lbs. range, then I'm sure that her doctor isn't the only person who told her she needed to lose weight.
He apparently told her that her husband (also obese) would die before her and she'd end up single and obese. That's tactless and hurtful. It's not her fault if her husband is obese.

She still needed the kick in the @$$. It seems to me that she hasn't accepted the fact that she has a problem - obesity. Unless and until she accepts that fact, she won't try to lose weight, because she doesn't think she has a problem.
