How to do tell her that, no she isn’t healthy? She thinks she’s the embodiment of health and is body positivity. The thing that I think needs to be addressed is how FAST she put on weight and that it’s affecting her life. How do I talk to her about it?

She is undoubtedly going through something so you gotta be careful. She is definitely aware of her weight change so you pointing it out is not going to help. Maybe ask if she wants to go on walks with you or to the gym or something

It’s not your job to watch your roommate’s health for her. You should stay out of it and not say anything. There’s no way you could tell her that without offending her and causing conflict in your house

Again, I only really care about how fast she gained and that she’s having complaints of issues that are related to the weight. I don’t want her to hate the way she looks but I’m not a very delicate person. Any advice on how to explain it to her gently about my concern for her?

See, the thing is she CONSTANTLY complains of new back pain, getting winded, being hot all the time (making it FREEZING in the apartment, costing us more, and making me super uncomfortable. I don’t want to have to wear LAYERS in my own home), and recently started having problems with breathing while laying certain ways.

It’s not even a ton of weight, but she put it on so fast I don’t think she can properly adjust, and she doesn’t want to eat healthier or anything. Literally spent $40 at these dessert waffle place. WHY DO YOU NEED THAT MUCH

I have offered but she refuses. Her bf had mentioned smth to me bc he thought me and her were beefing but that wasn’t it. It’s not her family, and it’s not school. I’ve struggled with depression so I get it but at the same time we don’t know what’s going on. He thinks she’s having some sort of medical issue and says he’ll be the one to mention it to her bc he’s better at consoling people

Yeah leave it to the bf to worry about

It’s a fair worry, she used to have trouble with metabolism where she couldn’t gain weight at all as a kid. I didn’t even think it could be medical but he pointed that out

Sorry I should reword, she had actual medical problems with her metabolism. I don’t remember exactly what but I do remember that she did have to be medicated and monitored for it.
