A. It is awkward to have a conversation about someone’s weight, but it is necessary.
1. Realize your loved one could be insecure about their weight already.
2. Be patient, make it about a concern of health and realize that if brought up in a wrong way could be just as damaging. B. Do 1. Use specific examples like, “I’m worried about your blood pressure.” Or “I don’t want your health to suffer.” This shows you’re concerned without bringing diets or food consumption into the matter. 2.

Recognize even if you think you may 100% know what is going on not to make assumptions, unseen factors could be at play such as thyroid levels, eating disorders, or depression. C. Don’t 1.

The person is already judging their selves, don’t add to that. Don’t offer helpful weight loss tips or exercises unless asked for, try to focus on the overall health and if the person says it’s a recurring issue then ask if they have ever seen an endocrinologist or spoken to their doctor about it, that you understand everyone is different, but just want them to be as healthy and happy as they can be.
