I hear people always talking about smoking being so bad for your health but the real problem is obesity in America.
My friend ( let's call her gigi) has gained over 150 lbs over the course of two years. She's now around 300+. She says she needs to lose but she doesnt take any control of her body. Her boyfriend of 5 years is getting aggravated. He tries to he subtle and give hints about her weight gain but she gets depressive. So he tells me all of his problems.
Me and Gigi have been friends since elementary. This is my girl, I love her. So today I told her. The weight is a problem and she has to do something about it. I'll be her support system anything she needs. She says I'm no real friend and accused me of trying to take her boyfriend.
I told you guys this because I have 2 questions.
1. Was it wrong for her boyfriend to come to me with his frustrations?
2. Was I to harsh?

She needs an intervention, and seems like that's what you guys are doing. Hate to say this, but unless I was married, I would be seriously thinking about leaving her too. Too many relationship issues involved with being obese.
My sister was obese and did medifast, as others I know have, and she has big big time dropped weight. Look into it. Good luck.

You made a gesture to help & she doesn't want it. When the affects of the obesity begin to take the toll on her support her but don't pity her.

I have one. I've been tried that but she doesn't like to workout in front of people. Maybe I can buy some workout DVDs or something...
Yep. That would be a good option also. Maybe start encorporating some type of walking/biking regime into the mix. Dropping weight can be incredibly tough for some people. All about getting into the routine

I think it was wrong of him to drag you into their relationship problems. The worse part is you are her friend first, not his and he is using you to be the bad guy in his place. If he has any issues with her he needs to take them up with her. I think you were just trying to play a part in saving her relationship with her boyfriend but you should just not get involved in the future. Do what you can to reconcile your friendship but don't beat yourself up over this.
Seriously, my sister has dropped >60lbs in like 4-5mos and the program is highly rated by the medical community. Ask around, you will see.
While I appreciate your sincere interest in a workout DVD, gym membership, etc. that mass amount weight is just an impediment to real exercise. Think about it like for every 15lbs she is over her ideal weight, she is carrying a extra bowling ball. So at 150lbs over her ideal weight, she is carrying like 11 bowling balls, who can exercise while carrying that many bowling balls? It's only after losing that weight that my sister now is walking and lightly exercising, and relieved and excited she can do it.
