If you've noticed your mate has put on some extra unattractive weight, what's a nice way to inform him/her you've noticed the change, and would like him/her to work on it?

So do think it's unecessary to talk about it?

Is a little extra weight really going to make them that unattractive to you?

Also, do you really think they're not going to notice if they've put on weight?

What do you hope to happen from this conversation?

Absolutely.
Take her for a walk every day.
Help and support work.
Nattering does not.

Yeah. Both people getting out and exercising more will work better, rather than making it a big issue.

I would mention the weight but not because its unattractive but because it can be a health issue especially for people in my age bracket. I also would help the person to lose weight with some exercise and cooking very healthy meals.

I guess many have not seen being over-weight as a threat to their health.

Say nothing ..

When I turned 36 my ex told me that I wasn't as pretty as when I was younger, I lost all confidence in myself for ages. Ireally didn't get it back until the last 12 months when i found someone who loves me just how i am.

We all know when we put weight on or get older, we don't need to be told.

Go to the gym and work out and stay healthy.
Lock up or eat all the twinkies and tater tots yourself.

There is no easy way, Soufie's right about that....But, if the weight gain is having a negative effect on the relationship then it needs to be discussed...With empathy, support, reassurance, love....Open communication about everything good and bad, IMO, is necessary to a healthy relationship...If the love and the trust is intact, the conversation can be had in a positive way...Work it out!!!!

My ex would often suggest walks to the park, bike rides or other fun things to do that whereby I exercised more frequently. Nothing was ever said, but we both knew what he was doing and I appreciated him more for it.

Whereas if I asked him to help me diet, he would take me seriously and we’d literally have a fight in the supermarket over some deliciously sickly unhealthy goodie that I was attempting to put in the trolley laugh

Actually, you are correct when you say that. The only way guys discover out that problem is when I take them on a hike, walk, or bike ride and they are puffing, red, excessively sweating or having breathing difficulties.Its then that they realize their weight is the problem.
