Hi There, I have a friend who I love dearly but is putting on an enormous amount of weight over the past few years. I believe she may be depressed recently as she doesn't seem to want to move anywhere or do anything active. It gets quite frustrating at times when you have to talk to reception on holidays or get drinks or hang up coats just general stuff, she has gotten so lazy she doesn't walk much at all. People are looking at her when we hit the town as she just looks so huge and she doesn't seem to be enjoying life, boys never chat her up, in fact they tend to ignore her or ask if she is pregnant (happened 2 weeks ago). I have tried to get her to eat healthier, suggested she come to the gym with me (says no she won't), told her all the crap she is eating is affecting her mood, skin and body but yet she still stuffs her face with crap. I am finding I am losing respect for her. She is turning into a lazy lump, I don't know what to do, I have suggested counselling but she tends to get angry if I mention food/working out/ improving herself. Should I dump her? Please help me understand... Bride Hunt, Ponnu Parkal, Arranged Marriage, Life | Musings::

First off, quit being an enabler for her. Let her hang up her own coat, get her own drink. Also, rather than lecture her on food, just say no thanks, I want to stay healthy. Smile the entire time she's feeding her face and when she asks why you're smiling, just say I remember when you would have thought that was too much food or that stuff wasn't good for you.
Depression is hard to deal with but having you still be with her says a lot about the kind of friend you are. They need a friend but you don't have to participate in her road to obesity.
A few years back I was in the same situation and it took a short sharp shock to get me out of it. Things at home where bad and i began to eat as I got more depressed, then putting on weight would cause me to become even more depressed till one day i was almost 20 stone and had gone from this healthy happy girl to this over weight mess of a person. Once your in that hole its very hard to accept the situation your in and denial is all you will hear. But be straight with her. That's what my friends did with me. as much as i found it upsetting it was so right and for my own good. Say look I can see you are unhappy and I'm here to help you change that but if you keep pushing me away then its going to get to the point where i wont be willing to offer you a helping hand.

First of all, no, you shouldn't dump her. Sounds like she's very unhappy with herself for some reason and maybe she hasn't told you why. Could be something going on in her life that she can't deal with. You also don't want to overwhelm her by always talking about her health. Sometimes people will push you away or tune you out when you continuously repeat the same thing over and over. Just love her like you did before she gained weight and encourage her. The best way is to live by example. Cele|bitchy » Blog Archive » Did Carrie Underwood call Jessica ::
