Really worried about my friend and I’m worried about her health

Rach91

Hi I am worried about a good friend of mine at the moment she has gained a lot of weight and it is starting to affect her health. She used to be the same size as me and I’m not overweight but I’m not skinny either and I do keep myself fit and active. I saw her on Saturday and I hardly recognised her. We went for lunch and she ordered a burger and chips. She can hardly walk and can’t keep up with me when she used to be able to. I am worried that she is going to have a heart attack or something if she doesn’t start to lose weight. We are both on the spectrum and I really don’t know how to bring the subject up. I don’t want to cause upset or an argument. As you guys know I have shown some erotic behaviour on here regarding my other friend which I am trying to change. Any advice on how to approach my friend and her health would be greatly appreciated.

  • How old is your friend? There's a government campaign for over 40s to have a blood pressure check. I go for a walk sometimes fast pace or walking up the stairs quickly. During adverts I try to march on the spot. Approach the subject lightly. I find portion sizes are massive now.

    My acquaintance memory is getting worse now (she had a brain tumor aged 12; now she's in her 40s); kept on having ideas for a home gym and her support worker said no. 

    Keep on seeing adverts about weight loss before the watershed time (watershed is after 9pm); also avoid magazines. I had Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder during lock down. Some made me gag like anything. Now I am feeling OK. 

    Hope this helps you.

    My friend is 37 years old and I don’t see her very often and when I try to get her to keep up with me she tells me to slow down.
