[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Offer to go on a diet with him. If he says no, keep your mouth shut. [/quote] I disagree with this. If he wants to do this, he'll raise it. Offering to go on a diet with someone is just not helpful. First of all, diets don't work. If he's going to have a "success story" it's going to take a commitment to major changes that a "diet" doesn't entail. Second, even if well-meant, the message will backfire. Someone struggling with this is likely to retain the message that you don't like him how he is. Yes, you don't like his weight issue, but he'll internalize a broader negative message.[/quote]
