Ht. 5' 6", Wt. 148 - Hey im really afraid for my friend hes my height and weighs 350 pounds (that what he said). He has diabetes too. Every day I seem him he seems more overweight. I think obesity runs in his family and his parents ared convinced hes fine. I know hes overweight and I want to help him but he wont listen. He thinks im crazy. Any advice? Thanks.

thats a hard one...just when you hang around him make healthy food choices and be more active ..but then there are two ways he can react...he can join in and begin to lose weight or he will just not do anything... but its worth a try isnt it?

well, youre a good friend for being so worried. i think you should just tell him how worried you are, maybe that'll convince him.
