How can I help my obese friend

[onthelastlegtohome]

I met up with friend, probably more of an acquaintance, after a lapse of 10 years. I was shocked and horrified that she is now seriously obese and diabetic. She used to be absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Really stunning.

Do you think it would wreck our friendship/acquaintanceship if I asked her to come to SW with me? I am going off and on to SW classes. She hasn't asked for help. She has told me she has been to SW in the past and her dh was very supportive.

You could help her by seeing her as more than her weight because that's what she will be getting from every side, all the time, every single day, people who cannot see beyond that.

And being able to swoop in and rescue someone only happens in movies. There'll be complex reasons which wont be fixed by popping along to a fat club where there will be even more focus on her body.

Why havent you seen her for 10 years?

I very much doubt you're a stunner now, you say you're concerned but you're reasons are shallow tbh.

I don't think you are close enough.
