Or you could just tell her that it bugs you when she says stuff that isn't true. Besta Luck [ CraziForRey619's advice column | Ask CraziForRey619 A Question ]

I always told her that she wasn't fat at all and that she will find a boyfriend but that didn't help. What I did to help her was I showed her a picture of an obese person from this health website and this made her now realize that she wasn't fat at all. What you need to do is to tell your friend that you really care about her that she will find a boyfriend one. Complaining about her body won't do any good. Hope I helped :)

Hellheart answered Friday February 18 2005, 1:21 pm: You should also check for anorexia and bulemia - don't be nosy or obvious about it, but if a sign exists note it - and if you see anything that suggests she may have either, consult with her parents about it. Both eating disorders are horrible things to leave unchecked, and she could start at any time as long as she views herself as hopelessly fat. [ Hellheart's advice column | Ask Hellheart A Question ]

BeautifulMadness answered Friday February 18 2005, 1:13 pm: Just tell her that she's a lovely person and everyone knows it - and any guys who don't like her are idiots!!
You really can't do anything other than that and keeping on telling her she's not fat. My friend is exactly the same...it's just the mentality they have and changing that would be like changing them - pretty much impossible. Your friend is just probably quite insecure, so compliment her a lot, that should boost her ego a little and make her feel a bit better about herself!
Blessed Be,
