If you say that you are my friend and if I am another persons "friend" then blatant honesty would have to work for me. In my circles, weight issues (gain or loss) isn't something that is swept underneath the carpet. We talk about it. We talk about it whether the other likes it or not. We help each other "do" something about it. It's one thing to just say, "hey you are getting fat" and not suggest or attempt to implement change. If you say that you are a friend and if I say that I am a friend, then helping in this area would be just as important as discussing something else.
