If it's so obvious, you don't need to tell them, they knew already. Is it your loved one? Prepare some healthy salad for her. Don't worry and in fact you can influence the person by setting a good example. You do the right thing with her, and leave the final decision to her.

purely get quickly returned into your healthful ingesting and exercising. don't be problematic on your self - an afternoon right here and there once you consume greater and don't exercising won't make a distinction if something of the time you save on which incorporate your exercising and healty ingesting plans. bear in mind that effectual long term weight-loss happens fairly slowly, and that your weight can selection from on a regular basis with the aid of fact of hormones, how lots fluid you're holding and no count if or no longer you have been to the lavatory at present. So attempt and ward off weighing your self on a daily basis. according to risk weigh your self as quickly as a week, on the comparable time of day each and every time. healthful, risk-free weight-loss shouldn't realy be greater desirable than 1kg a week. So i think what i'm asserting is bypass uncomplicated on your self ok!!

If it's their body, believe me they already know. Telling them they are going to become a .... what did you say? "Big ol' tub of lard?" that's not going to be a lot of motivation for choosing a healthy lifestyle.
If you genuinely want to help, offer to do healthy things with them ... like bike riding or hiking ... be a good example.

ok, i have had the same situation many times also... really all you need to do is tell them straight out... same something like "ok, look you are a really good friend to me and i dont want nothing to happen to you... so i think you should take off a little bit of weight you have" or just start a joke up... just talk about something funny and if they have a good sense of humor just be like "I need to get skinnier" and the other person will probably be like "You, look at me" or something sort of like that... then you can say something like... "How bout we try to lose weight together" then see what your answer is.... I hope this helped! GOOD LUCK BUDDY!

is that your calling in life to judge what GOD created? if so im glade your not my GOD i dont think you have the right to tell no one about their weight either it be to fat or to skinny. how would you feel if people started telling you about the flaws that they view when they look at you? we are all born with physical flaws in men/women eyes but in GOD eyes were just what he wanted us to be different. some have freckles, some have pimples,some have beauty marks that appear to be ugly to some & to others a joy to see get off of the white/black/asian etc......chart about height & weight be perporsionate if you had 1 common sence you would know that if you took 100 girls all 5'4 130 lb in one room they would all look totaly different body wise some may be top heavy, some may be mid-sectiom heavy, some maybe bottom heavy grow up & clean your eyes

If they are adults, I am sure that they know they need to loose weight. Weight is a very personal issue and loosing it is a very personal journey. One you have to start of your own will and motivation. I think it's best to stay out of it, or simply suggest healthier food and exercise. Something that you would do with them in a caring, supportive way.

I agree with all the above posters: when you're overweight you know it and no one needs to remind you. It's something the person has to want to do, you can't force anyone to lose weight.

You don't tell them.
If you do it will hurt and it might ruin your relationship with them.
If they are unhappy with their body and if they believe in themselves then they will take the inititative to start losing weight without you or anyone else telling them.
If someone came up to you and told you you needed to gain weight because you look ____, you're not just going to automatically say "Okay" and start gaining...change comes from the inside.

Don't directly tell them to lose weight.
Ask them if they want to go running/exercising/etc. with you.
Donate your time to help them (without them knowing of course).
This way, they will lose weight and you will feel better inside.

Love them for who they are; occasionally compliment what appear to be successes and their efforts to improve their condition.
Don't presume that they don't know the truth, and that you are the person to enlighten them.
but if you are hell bent on being their "sugar-free daddy" try:
"I see your clothes are getting too small for you. Why don't WE go to the "big folks" shop and I'll buy you a new wardrobe."
