you friend is putting on wiegh what should you do?

I’m worried about her… I’m worried about her lifestyle and her health, both physical and mental. I’m worried that if she gets into a downward spiral of weight gain then she might find it really hard to get back to her normal weight. I’ve seen what her natural fit and healthy body is supposed to look like and she is not meant to look like how she looks now, she is not built to have those extra kilos on her… I feel like we need to take the best possible care of ourselves and our bodies and she isn’t doing it…

2. I would want a close friend to tell me if they were worried about me and my weight/health… some of my girlfriends and I actually have a pact to tell each other if we have put on a considerable amount of weight (not in a mean way, just an FYI way so we can do something about it…).

I know about other interventions, my partner once did an intervention with me when he thought I was eating too much sugar, at the time I was pissed off but now I look back and I’m grateful because I was on the fast-track to diabetes.

And I know another girl who lost a lot of weight and her friends staged an intervention because she looked so unhealthy and so tired and sick all the time… she thought she looked great being so skinny and was shocked but grateful to her friends for saying something.

So… should I say something to my friend… or should I try and disguise the conversation so it gets her thinking about her weight and health but with no direct accusations? Or maybe I could just start taking her running and walking with me and taking her to lots of healthy cafes where you can’t get hot chips… it’s not like there is a shortage of them in the city!

Or should I wait and see if she puts on more weight or just loses it herself… I just have no idea…1
