I Think My Best Friend Trying To Make Me Fat! What Should I Do?

[Savhanna]

In about August,
I was telling my best friend about how I didn't eat at lunch everyday and how I felt like crap. He told me to eat so I wouldn't feel sick...he's been reminding me to eat lunch everyday since then and he Has been right. However, in the weeks that have gone by, at least once a week he's brought me something sweet and delicious to pretty much bribe me to eat. Like about the third week after all of that, he brought me a cupcake two days in a row. The following week, he brought me a muffin bigger than my hand! Whatever he brings me seems to get more and more fattening as the weeks go by, and he brings more each week too. A couple weekends after that, he was texting me to eat during the weekend. Well, I did, and that Sunday, I ate so much that I could barely move! It was then that I noticed my once small tummy was a bit bigger and softer! It's been several months, and he's still bringing me food every day! With my kind nature, I've not been able to refuse the food once! Well, plus he brings the tastiest (but most fattening) food, and my appetite has gotten MUCH bigger! Before this whole thing, I was about 115 pounds...Now I'm teetering on the 200 pound mark, at 193 pounds to be precise, and still growing. As much as I'd love to stop this, my appetite is so big now that I can't even control how much I eat anymore. Every time I eat, I become extremely greedy, eat everything I have, and then proceed to ask my friends or family members for anything they're not going to finish. I need to stop this but I can't, so I'll figure that out some other time...But I'm wondering if my best friend is purposefully trying to fatten me up, or if it's just coincidence and he doesn't realize it. What should I do? And please, no stupid answers that are insulting either. If you're going to be mean, don't give me an answer, because I don't want it. This is a legitimate question and issue that I'm having!

You want a real answer.

Well here it is - stop being such a glutton - dump your best friend if he doesn't co-operate with this initiative.

[kippyboo]

Perhaps he's been bringing space cakes and he gave you one, so not only are you suffering from the munchies you are also pregnant. The good news is, if it's been several months the weight will soon leave you . Hope this helps xx

Presuming you're serious..... see your doctor. If you can't stop eating then there is no magic potion that fixes that. There are chemicals that may alter your brain to think you are full, or you may qualify for a stomach stapling. Your problem is no less serious than smoking, so get some professional help.

Hi Savhanna.
You've come here with no introduction, not even so much as a "hello" and launched a very long and rambling *first* post amongst a bunch of people who are already established here. This is why you've had answers that have annoyed you.
Answerbank has a lot of intelligent, wise and experienced regulars and there is great potential for intelligent and informed answers to difficult questions here. I suggest that you condense down what you posted into just one or two lines of questioning and try again.

[Svejk]

Does your friend have a bone through their nose and/or lick their lips when looking at you.

[Savhanna]

Canary42, I realize I've got a problem here...I admit, I'm a freaking glutton. I gave in to the eating and became nothing but a big fat gluttonous pig. But this still isn't answering my question...What should I do if it seems like my best friend is fattening me up? And no, he's Not a damned cannibal.

Seriously...

Mo Jo Jo - are you aware that this poster is also Sheye20 and Inez20 and is posting other ridiculous posts and abusing those who do not go along with the fairy stories? Treat them as fact if you want to.

[Savhanna]

Grasscarp, for the last time, I'm not any of the other people you're saying I am! I just found this site the other DAY because I was in need of helping and looking for a site like this, but it's because of people like You that I'm regretting choosing this site of all of them! I have a legitimate issue and need actual helpful answers to this problem, not some stupid replies from you, who thinks I'm some other person! I don't wanna hear it! Get off of my question! If you don't like it, don't post, it's as simple as that!

[Baldric]

Show some backbone!
You might need to lose a stone or so first to do that,
Then say; No Thank You!

[Mosaic]

So, to summarise:
OP: I have a problem saying no to food. What do you lot think?
ABers: stop eating the food and act sensibly.
OP: Get off my thread.

I think that's that one sorted. Next strange problem, please....

[Savhanna]

Mosaic, first off, that's not even my question. My question was what do I do about my friend who may or may not be making me fat? Secondly, I was saying "get off my thread" to Grasscarp because of what he specifically is saying.

Real answer...

'Thank you [insert friends name here] I do appreciate the gesture, but I am somewhat disconcerted with the amount of weight I am gaining.'

[2sp_]

Tell your friend that you are concerned about your weight gain and are trying to watch what you eat.

Tell him that while you are grateful for his generosity, could he please not bring you any treats or snacks as you are on a diet.

Any decent friend will listen to you.

[vodkancoke]

If your question is what to do about your friend, then the simple answer is if they are a friend then you should be able to say to them that you don't want anymore fatty foods brought to you. The more you say "no thank you" then the message may get through to them. If you keep taking the food off them then they will think its ok to ply you with that food. Your friend isnt a mind reader so just be honest with them.

How is your friend making you fat? -

1. Does he tie your hands behind your back and force food down your throat?

2. Does he hold a gun to your head demanding you eat?

3. Is he blackmailing you with food?

4. ...

[mallyh]

you've obviously got a problem and perhaps your friend noticed you were losing to much weighti and been worried about your eating thought buying cakes for you would help.first you have to admit you've a problem, tell your friend you need proper help from doctors and to stop buying you things if he's a true friend he will help .

[AlwaysConfused]

If he's fattening you up for Christmas he too premature, He needs to wait until May or even June. My only question is: how would he save money by choosing you over a turkey? Turkeys like a gobble, but you seem to like a feast!

4. Perhaps your friend thinks you suffer from low blood sugar and feeds you so you don't become hypoglycaemic. I think this is it.

[Savhanna]

I doubt he thinks I suffer from low blood sugar. I didn't before, I just didn't eat. Now I obviously do eat and am so close to 200 pounds that I can feel myself getting fatter whenever I eat. ._.
