<human>: I am 23-F-5'4-136 pounds trying to get down to about 120-125. My friend is 24-F-5'5-roughly 300 pounds.

For years she has come to me with her weight insecurities and I've tried to be supportive and proactive every time. I give her lists of workouts to try and the right foods to eat but she quits so fast every time. She also refuses to even consider trying certain fruits or vegetables because she thinks they're disgusting. I try to tell her she can find recipes that use foods that complement each other or even mix healthy stuff she doesn't like with healthy stuff she does like to hide the flavors of the foods she doesn't like but again, she refuses. She also told me today that she is too lazy to even open a bag of chips at her house, she would rather order food and go pick it up (which requires SO much more energy, this did not make any sense to me) which would make cooking healthy meals at home much more difficult.

I just got a gym membership to start going with her to be a support system because she wouldn't dream of going alone for fear of embarrassment. I told her she should never feel embarrassed while at the gym because she's actually doing something about her weight instead of sitting at home doing nothing like so many other people. I feel guilty because when I work out with her she says I make her feel even MORE self conscious which makes me not even want to work out.

So r/loseit, have any of you ever had this problem? Or have you had a friend that really helped you lose weight/eat healthy? If so, what did they do? What kind of things did you do to transition into a healthier lifestyle?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I weigh 136lbs, friend weighs ~300lbs, she gets disheartened while working out with me but won't go to gym alone, need help getting her started/keeping her motivated.
