How can you help a friend who has weight problems?

by Elaine Aparecida Queiroz and Natália da Silva Matte

First of all, go see a specialist to know if he has a disease and which health problems he could have for being overweight.
You should talk to him privately for him not to feel embarrassed. Mention that you have an important subject to discuss but it is also delicate. Then you could say that you and your friends in common are very worried about his health _do not bring up the appearance issue because he could misunderstand your point and have a bad reaction.
Now it is time for telling him about the things you heard from the doctor and show that he can count on you as a companion on his medical appointments and exercising.
