Friend of mine is gaining weight, how do I tell her?!


Question: Friend of mine is gaining weight, how do I tell her?
She has been thin ever since I've known her but recently she's been gaining weight, and it shows... how do I lay it on her easy since gaining weight is often subtle and so she doesn't seem to notice the changes or is in denial. At first I was going to just bluntly tell her, but now that I've thought about it, gaining a few pounds is probably going to be a bigger deal for her than I think, since she might be binge eating because she's depressed. I don't know I might be thinking too into it, I just don't want to hurt her feelings :( she's a close friend of mine.

Answers:

Do it in a more subtle way coz she is yur frend and by tellin her tht shes gained weight shell probably think shes fat and all the rest of it...so basically be like 'You've gained some weight and you look perfect!!'
Coz then shell know tht she shildnt gain any more weight or shell be 'fat'. I hope this helps and makes sense ,,!? :)



i think that yhu should just tell her dont be rude about it just simply say "hey i noticed yhu have been gaining weight and i wanted to help yhu out soo_______. I think yhu should just tell her this because i know that if i was gaining weight and i didnt really notice i wouldnt like it if my friend didnt tell me.. yhu know what im saying so just tell her, im sure she would be happier hearing it from yhu.(:



The way to not hurt her feelings ro come off the wrong way is to say nothing. She knows and is already concerned or she knows and doesnt think its a big deal. Unless she asks keep it to yourself. If you think shes depressed, try to be someone she can talk to. If you go out to eat, dont suggest burger king, suggest a place with mostly fairly healthy choices but dont tell your friend shes fat!



I would tell her a nice friendly way. Maybe strike up a converastion and just hey I've noticed you are looking a little more like you've gained some weight. Or something like that! You're her friend she won't hate you. The truth hurts but it's even more geniune to tell someone the truth because it shows you are a good person!

Experience!



ask her if she wants to go to the gym with you on friday or saterday just say "hey wanna go work out at the gym with me ?" thats a way of helping her but being nice (:

hope i helped

answer mine?



maybe invite her to an outing in the park. Park a bit way from the park and suggest the two of you walk it. Bring some tossed salads something healthy for the outing. You go from there.



I'd mind your own business, I'm sure she knows if she has gained some weight and it's not really your concern if she has.



Don't tell her. She knows.
