Laugh in the face of food
I've got a dilemma, I've just had a phone call from my friend. We have a mutual friend who did LL, lost 10st but put at least 13st back on. Apparently she was meant to come to dinner today (it was the friend who phoned 30th) but she has the habit of not showing up for things and yet again she didn't turn up. My friend rang because she's very worried about her and we can both see she's spiralling out of control with her weight, and neither of us know how to help.
She's very fragile and I can understand why she doesn't want to go out with our group, because some of the group haven't seen her since she was 13st so they'd be shocked to see her now. What I can't understand is why she refuses to meet up with 2 of the girls because they work together and their daughters were all born within weeks of each other. The 2 get together every 2 weeks and always try to include her but she doesn't turn up. Sometimes she makes excuses sometimes not. They've even tried to go to her house only to find her in her pjs or at her mums.
She's had a little breakdown on me one day, where she admitted that her maternity uniforms didn't come close to fitting and they had to order her size 38 uniforms. I took that chance to give her my CDCs number and my old CDCs just in case she didn't want to go to the same CDC as me. But that was back in November and since then she's carried on gaining.
My friend rang because she's getting very worried about this girls health and the welfare of her 1 year old. She's known her for ten years and is genuinely worried about her. We hate seeing her this way and have no idea how to approach it with her. Does anyone have any ideas? We want to help but not preach.
