Can I judge for a minute?

So, I have this friend who I work with. She has really low self-esteem and has always worried about her weight. She is nowhere near being obese, but is probably about 15-20 pounds "overweight". I use quotations because I have never considered her to be overweight, but I'm sure according to some chart, she is. Anyway, we have always talked about our weight struggles. About a month and a half ago, she told me she was tired of not losing any weight and was going to get a prescription for diet pills. I was at a loss for words because, personally, I don't think they are a good idea. She started taking them a month ago, and has lost 18 pounds. She will go a day without eating and has told me she has tons of energy. Here's my judgement, she posted on FB how she's lost x amount of weight in x amount of days. When people commented asking how she has done it, she replied that she's cut out junk, cut down on eating, exercising, etc. I'm reading it, going seriously?! You're on diet pills! It's just annoying that she's acting like she's doing all this stuff and in reality, she's taking these pills. It's none of my business and I'm really jealous of the fact that she's lost so much weight in a short of time, but I really judge the fact that she's bragging on herself and lying about how she's doing it.

It is NOT a healthy way to drop lbs, a d it's just as unhealthy that she's lying to herself and peers about her method.

You can't call her out on it, but I would probably suggest to her healthier alternatives. It would worry me that she is no

What Rx diet pills? As far as I know, the only one that really worked was FenPhen, and that was causing users to have heart attacks, so they took it off the market. Unless she's getting some black market stuff.

Anyway, that would annoy the p

That would drive me nuts. I wouldn't call her out but I would probably talk to her about the non eating part. I currently have a friend doing some coffee weight loss thing. She saw I was trying to lose weight and tried to get me to join the program. I was

I have 3 friends who went on the HCG or whatever diets and all dropped tons of weight super fast. Well yeah, eating 300-500 calories a day for weeks on end will do that. Some of our mutual friends expressed concern and all 3 of them just rolled ignored th
