[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If you are close enough to the girl, then could you have a friendly chat with her? [/b] I would do this and express concern about other possible health related issues that have caused such a dramatic weight gain.  If you know her parents then maybe express your concern with them.

"Son's girlfriend, I noticed that you got fat over the summer. Would you like to talk to me about it.?"

Please don't do this.[/quote]

If she starts now, she can be the MIL from Hell by the time her oldest is out of college![/quote]

Okay, I see how this can be over reaching, but the OP said that her ds and the girl were good friends for a long time before dating.  I did preface by saying [u]if[/u] she is close to the girl.  I was very close with my high school boyfriend's mom, we could talk about a lot of things that I didn't feel comfortable talking about with my own parents.

I would address it as health or stress concerns, not "hey your fat now, let's talk about not stuffing your face".

That said, I agree with the pp in that your ds shouldn't be with anyone he doesn't want to be with.  But it would be great if he could stick with her as a friend and encourage her to see a doctor because he cared about her health.[/quote]
