My best friend is in trouble, he is gaining weight fast and it is taking it's toll on his family and career, I need to help him and don't know where to start.
I am a skinny bugger, when I stand beside him we look like the number "10", he and his wife are coming out tonight for a bit and I want to confront him (not necessarily tonight) about this and see if I can be of any help.
My wife just got off the phone with his, she requested we keep snacks out of the way and refrain from any heavy drinking, which happens to be something we do every now and then, responsibly. She (his wife) has mentioned a few events that have happened in the past few weeks as a result of this weight problem and it sounds very serious. He is a vice president of a company, and very well to do, his partner has confided in a few of us that there have been side effects to the weight problem, like falling asleep at inappropriate times and a few other things that have me concerned.
I need to confront him but at the same time I do not want to irritate him, he just rounded the 400LB mark and needs intervention and I am the closest thing he has to help besides his wife and kids.
I could really use some guidance as to how I can approach this, I am willing to sacrifice our friendship for his health and family at this point.
Thanks.
