"I wanted buy you something the other day but I couldn't figure out what size you wear now since you put on so much weight recently"

or this

This comment is so me

Don't.

i don't like the attitude that you should never tell people when their health is at risk. you can't just let them ruin their own health if you care about them.

just don't be insulting about it. he needs to hear it from someone he's decently close to rather than some random stranger

...i hope you realize that you don't automatically get an eating disorder just because someone points out your weight once

IM DONE

why are you so afraid of offending someone? youre gonna hurt him more if you are not saying ****

dont listen to the kids here who give you bad advice. (they're probably overly sensitive american teens who dont know any better)

tough love. the italian way.

i wonder all these saying "none of your business" even have any close friends at all

This is probably the best way to do it

LMAO what the hell.

First of all, you're fat

Also don't, your friend probably knows and is extremely insecure about it.

I'm pretty sure he's noticed it. Get over yourself, no offense.

this

If your close you can just bring it up casually, thats how latinos do it. I feel like in the USA people are very sensitive to comments about weight.

Ask to work out with him all the time. Say you're feeling insecure about your body and you want a gym buddy.

With my close friends, we would never be all passive like that. It'd be like "Holy ****, whale!" and we'd get it corrected REAL quick. But this is just how my friends are; we're silly and honest with each other.

If the person is sensitive, though (because I do have friends like that), then I usually wait for them to say something first. But they'll know if they're fat so it's not really my problem unless they're spiraling out of control. Because they may need help if so.

There is no way.

Personally I would just say "You've gained weight" if it's a close friend.

If it's not a good friend then I just don't say anything.
