Birthday Present for Sister who is trying to lose weight and stuck

[Todaywasbetter]

I want to get something fun but that will help, i'm thinking a health/ slimming magazine subscription or something for kitchen or clothing but what?
shes following a diet but not losing anything

Wtf don't get her a diet magazine!!
Get her some nice perfume, or body oil, something that will make her feel nice that's nothing to do with her weight.

No thank you to all of that.

First response gets my vote.

Nothing like reminding someone that they are overweight on their birthday.

From the title I was a expecting it to continue to “in a turnstile” “ in the toilet” etc
Sorry!

You are all pathetic. getting nasty over this. i was warned I should've listened

Has she got a clothes shop she likes and perhaps a voucher to buy something new from there?

Why not something that has nothing to do with her size but still pampering, rituals etc?

You what?

the person thinking of getting someone struggling to lose weight A SLIMMING MAGAZINE for their birthday is calling out others for being nasty! particularly when nobody said anything particularly mean at all.

Since your feelings are already hurt I'll point out:

a - who even reads print magazines anymore
b - a magazine is a shit present for a birthday. It's the complete opposite of a "fun" present, it's probably up there with socks as one of the most boring presents out there
c - it's also not a useful one. You really think she's going to read a copy of good health and go "Wow! Cake has lots of calories! I never knew that! Well that will make all the difference, I'll stop eating three cupcakes a day and will be seven stone by christmas.
d - a slimming magazine for someone struggling to lose weight is the height of bitchiness

you must be so bored. hope you feel better now.

Troll?

I would have loved it if someone paid for a week of Cambridge diet ( called 1:1 now I think) for me when I was trying to lose weight. Seriously! Wouldn’t have taken offence at all if I was open about it to my close friends and family and they knew I was trying and interested in things but the ‘things’ were expensive!

Only you will know if she would take it as a slight or not if you are being serious about the question you’ve asked here.
