My friend is depressed about her weight?!


Question: My friend is depressed about her weight!?
She came over to my house at my birthday party (we were four) and suddenly we ended up in the house playing Wii Fit!. Those of you who have one, you know that it has a retarded BMI calculator, right!? And anyway, she did her BMI, and it was like 'you're nearly obese' and she was like really really sad because she already has low self-esteem!. And my other two friends made it worse!. One said
"Oh, no, you aren't fat"
And the other one said
"Men LIKE fat women you know"
It wasn't a pretty sight!. And since then she's been depressed about it!. I mean more than usual!.
What do I do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You two could do activities together, even if she isn't "nearly obese"!.!.!.at least it would make her feel better about herself, knowing she was doing things that could make her loose weight!. Make sure you tell her things to boost her self-esteem!. My friend is the same way so we started going running and started a diet together, it has made her happier and she doesn't constantly stress out about the way she looks anymore!.!.!.it will take some time!.!. but eventually it will make things better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its an issue many females feel pressured to react to!. Just look at the effect of celebrities, media, clothing stores etc!.

Try complimenting her every now and then on some positive things, just to boost her confidence a little bit!. Everyone has good qualities which should be noted!. Unfortunately, we only tend to remember the negative, so perhaps try to create some positiveness around her!. Just don't ask her if she's upset about the wii-fit experience!. I'm sure she will not want it brought up at allWww@Answer-Health@Com

If your friend really does have an issue about her weight try to talk to her about it!. Help he make healthy choices and ask her if she wants to work out with you!.!.!.or walk or do something active!.!.!.and just do something where you can talk!.Seriously why do women base everything around what men are going to say!? urgh!. and make sure to tell your friend no matter what they say she is beautiful!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell her not to be!. If you think about it, women who are bigger than others live longer lives!. Tell her not to be depressed about silly things like that!. Those Wii Fit BMI calculators are wrong anyways!.!.!. Try a weight scale like at the doctors there more accurate!! I really hope your friend gets better!.!. I hope she doesn't get too depressed!Www@Answer-Health@Com

give her some support!. tell her that if she's happy about her weight/looks, then that's all that matters!. if she's not, kindly tell her that if she'd like to shed some pounds, you'd be behind her 100%, or maybe even go on some runs/walks with her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Be honest, tell her she is fat, and that men really don t like fat women, she will appreciate your honesty and being a true friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
