I probably could have been a bit more clear in my post above. I absolutely have concern and I do indeed worry about family members and close friends who are obviously living an unhealthy life whether that be poor diet/nutrition leading to an unfavorable BMI and/or medical conditions due to their bad nutrition choices,recreational drugs/alcohol in excessive amounts,prescription meds being abused,etc etc.

The difficulty I have is trying to convey my concerns without coming off as condescending and/or judgemental as thats a surefire recipe for that person to say "Oh yeah? Who the hell are you? Fuck off!" then that person will most likely continue down the path they're on just to be spiteful.

If I can only figure out how to offer unwanted constructive criticism
