So my friend’s doctor told him he was obese and pre-diabetic. And my friend says he would like to lose weight, BUT he won’t stop eating the most UNHEALTHY FOODS and he REFUSES to exercise.
I don’t know what to do. I’m scared to bring it up to him because he has depression and I don’t want to make him feel worse. Not only that, but cooking is one of his passions and I’m sure telling him that his passion is slowly, or maybe quickly, killing him would do some damage.
Please help me. I have no idea how to go about this. I’ve tried slipping things into a few conversations we’ve had, like I’ll suggest healthy foods when the time is right, or telling him the benefits of eating right, or the problems of not eating right, but I really don’t want to hurt him because of his depression. He’s already a bit sensitive about it because of the way his doctor has been bringing this stuff up to him. I don’t want to lose my friend to a disease, please help

Your friend needs a doctor to tell him he has to stop eating unhealthy foods and that he must exercise or he won't live much longer. People in these situations tend to take more notice of doctors than anyone else. He should have a doctor that he goes back to to have his weight checked, and the doctor should give him a certain amount of weight to lose in between each time he sees him.
ReplyTell him to drink water before eating anything.
And drink water if he feels hungry.
In this way he will eat less.
ReplyLosing weight is very hard in general because junk food is like drugs to the body. I know you're worried but talking to him would be the best thing to do. If you can't help get through to him then this is a thing he needs to do himself. If he has a binge eating disorder it'd make it more difficult to get into the right mindset. Try recommending therapy to him for his depression. Just like someone who's depressed appetites can either increase or decrease. I hope all goes well <3
