What do you want us to say? You want to help your sister, but you don't actually want to do anything.

I’m just trying to find the gentlest way to put this to her

I have an adult good friend who is overweight and she's done EVERYTHING re: diets etc but she's a compulsive eater....some people you can talk to and some you can't. They will get defensive/angry and others can thank you too. But I'm talking older adults in my life.

You have to decide, set good examples for starters.

Suppose I just have to forget about feelings, something has to be said and know that she’ll eventually get over it if I do upset her

Which is basically the opposite of all the advice you've gotten on this thread.

Just wondering -- how is your weight? Any problems there. If you have some issues talk to her about what you are going to do to change your ways.

I’m normal weight

When she comes to visit, cut out the junk food & have something that tastes good, but not fattening, you can make small changes. Be an example.

I like that idea, but now the issue becomes her “ relapsing” at home

And to answer an earlier question, no, she has not come to me with weight concerns, she seems content with it
