[quote=Anonymous]AP arrived a few days ago and she seems great, however I realized within the first 24h that there were something going on with food.

She is definitely overweight and good for her for trying to lose weight, but she barely eats. in the 5 nights she is been here, she had dinner with us once (she barely ate) and one day she only ate one apple (unless she has some food she brought from home in her luggage). This will normally not be an issue for me, but I have noticed a couple of times when I am talking to her that she will get dizzy/lightweight and have to hold something and quickly grab an apple/banana while I am trying to explain things to her. As someone who has successfully and unsuccessfully dieted a few times in my life, I know for sure that only eating fruits and maybe a meager sandwich is the recipe for failure.  I am also worried she will collapse while taking care of my kids when I am not around (This almost happened at the playground but she dismissed it and told me it was too hot). My kids are very active. 
After she said no to dinner today again I asked her is she was on a diet she said Yes. 
I am a lot skinner but I will collapse if I was eating the same quantity she is having.

Is there anything I can do/say without hurting her feeling? Should I just let it go.[/quote]
