Search Results: weight issues

I carry my weight really well, I weight 230 pounds or 105 kilos but most people think I weight a lot less. My issue is going on dates like blind and online dates. I look curvy but I think I’m just fat. However, I don’t want to make it seem like I am lying to a guy about my weight since a lot of guys are superficial when it comes to bigger women. If I carry my weight well, what should I say? I carry most of my weight in my butt but it’s proportional not weird looking or anything and I am tall so it doesn’t look bad. Most people think I weigh around 150 pounds Or about 70 kilos. Which I know is a big difference but that’s what a lot of people tell me. They get surprised once I tell them how much I really weigh.

My friend of 15 years has diabetes that runs in her family. Her brother was once morbidly obese, and had tons of health issues that almost killed him, but managed through nearly 3 years of dedicated hard work to drop all the weight and get healthy. Now, unfortunately she is on the path he was before with her blood sugar (she told me this herself) and weight steadily starting to rise.

I'm worried about her and want to help her to avoid going down that path, but people can get super sensitive about these things. I brought it up once in a very circular way by simply talking about my own families issues with health and blood sugar, and how I had cut back on a lot but she kind of changed the subject. I know she's an adult, but I feel like if she had a drug habit, I wouldn't just turn a blind eye as her friend, I would try to help her, which is the way I feel about her health now.

Should I just back off and leave it alone, or should I try to help?
