Yes - I work with obese people who have no hope for the most part. They are not reading me for pleasure. They need help in small pieces or they cannot go through with it. I'm pretty long-winded myself, but I try to get some white space in there when I can :)

That being said - if I was writing a 'how to' article it would have lots of white space - but this was a reflective piece to inspire thought in the reader :)
Do you feel like you got good input as to why people don't listen anymore and what to do about it if anything?
I definitely face this in my weight loss work. In my case, the people are too depressed, busy and hopeless to want to hear a new idea. The only thing I have seen turn it around is a big health scare. Fear for death is a big motivator.
I don't publish too many essays, bio, or fiction - those got very little attention when I did them.
