When our friends become fat - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I was looking at a friend's blog, and at first I didnt' recognize the person in the picture, then suddenly to my horror I realized that it was him. He had become fat.

Do I say something to him? Does he not realize he has become fat?

This is always a delicate thing. I decided to tell him that he looked fat and disgusting. I hope that helps.

Like the old saying goes: "A friend will always tell you when your butt is huge".

Or something like that.

Some people need to be saved from themselves and drastic measures are often called for. He'll thank you for it later.

Umm, so speaking of that, Mr. Mormon Red Death. We've been friends for awhile, and I couldn't help but notice - what I mean is, I feel like I have to say something . . . . .

Never mind.

Mike, what is your deal with obesity? Did the fat kid sit on you everyday at recess while all the kids cheered?

If he does, they must have low self-esteem.

Go ahead and jettison your fat friends. I know you're a good man because you stand by your divorcing male friends.

I think that since my own immediate family are not members, and I myself was once on the outside looking in, I just am not threatened by non-members or inactive members.

I guess if you cut to the Tex-think chase, ultimately, we believe that all these people will not be saved to the same degree as baptized folks......but i can't help it...I love my friends, gay, divorced, Ute, or otherwise.

I was only kidding about fat people, btw. I love and respect fat people.
