This is a tough situation. You can't control your friend, and if your friend doesn't want to eat healthier or be active, that's her problem. It sounds like you care about your weight, so start eating healthier. When you're at her house and she offers you a snack, be like, "Yeah, do you have any apples?" Show her that it can be fun to bike or play sports. If she's still stubborn, put up with it. Stick to your new healthy lifestyle, and once you get some results, your friend will see it's good to be active. Good luck!
