How to cope/get over the likelihood that a loved one will never lose weight?

Throughout my weight loss I have gotten a lot of postive feedback from friends and family. Some people were much more excited than others and wished to join me/start their own weight loss journeys after years of struggling with their weight.

Fast forward several months, and all of their attempts at weight loss have subsided and they are back to eating as they usually do (despite sharing their desperation to lose weight). I'm well aware that weight loss is incredibly difficult and comes more easily to others. I also know that statistically many people will remain overweight/obese for the rest of their lives.

However, there's still a large part of me that constantly wishes that they would finally lose the weight that has had such a negative impact on their overall wellbeing. I mean if I can do it, it must clearly not be impossible in their eyes. How do I let go of these feelings and just accept the fact that they most likely will never lose weight (even if it costs them their health)?

Note: I do not talk about other people's weight or my own weight loss unless explicitly asked. I also try to be as neutral as possible when it comes to weight/diet talk.
