There is not much you can do here. It's good that she has high self-esteem to wear something that a lot of women under 150 lbs. would not even date to wear. But, it's not good that she doesn't recognize that it is not becoming. I had a friend like that who insisted on wearing mini skirts that rode up in the back, showing her almost 300 lb. backside, but there was nothing I could do. To tell her, even tackfully, would hurt her feelings. So, I left it up to someone else, preferably a relative of her's to tell you. \nThe best thing is to just let her go on as she is. Maybe she will take it more seriously when someone other than a friend or relative tells her how she looks. Sometimes, a neutral comment is what it takes.

I have a friend that got me to join a gym.  He never has mentioned that I should lose weight but tells me how proud he is that I am working out.  We go for walks, add More dancing, and shopping, just find things that keep you moving.  Let her tell you how much she has lost never ask or don't make her losing weight your top priority it has to b hers.  Just be PROUD of what she has done. Encourage her that she looks great even if you don't see much of a change. Encourage with compliments

take it from a man and compliment his underpants, sweetheart. don't argue with my logic; i have reasons to back this theory up:\n\n- everybody gets some compliments about there eyes, their hair, their talent in burning things but never, NEVER has anyone complimented someone elses underpants. if you do, he will realize you are selfless and are not the jealous type... instead of being jealous of his panties, you are telling him, "you know, i'll admit, those are nice."

I like silky bikini, or a little on the fuller side. I like rubbing a nice silky bottom. Thongs to me are gross!!!

Its nice to have a concerned friend but if she perceives your concern as bullying you will acheive nothing.  Losing weight is a very personal decision and she will not do it until she is ready to...;

I do wear thongs but if I am wearing one right now is for my husband to know or find out! LOL

It's "appropriate" whenever you feel like. People shouldn't tell you what kind of underwear you can or cannot wear! That would be ridiculous! It is stupid though, when people have them hanging out of their pants, showing them off. The purpose of thongs is to not have pantie lines or for lingerie, not to show off when you bend over.

Must be a thong that is two sized too small.  There must be something up her butt for her to act the way she does.

maybe he has fetish, i would leave him alone coz you dont want him to feel ashame just let him know to try to be discreet about it ,he's so young he's probably having a hard time with his identity, tell him if he needs somebody to talk to your all ears ,but maybe he just like the way it feels on him tell him to stay away from your undies...lol..

First, is this a FRIEND or a a BOYFRIEND? If it is a boyfriend you need to find out why he likes to wear bras. If he's a male friend I'm not sure why it freaks you out so much. Okay so you want to understand it. Ask him why he does it. If he says he enjoys how they feel or they turn him on but he doesn't want to dress up in women's clothing such as dresses, then he might have a fetish for lingerie or just bras.  This might help http://www.gicofcolo.org/gd/writings/awptext.html

If you have been friends with her for that long, you should be comfortable enough to ask her flat out, "why are you feelin' my butt?" I'm not into that. "  Ask her flat out if she's gay. And if she is, remember she is still the same girl you knew, just with a different sexual orientation than you.  Tell her to lay off the comments and the touching! Good luck!

Well, if you feel funny about it, then no you shouldn't.  Just tell your friend that it weirds you out a little.  Maybe you could offer to help him get clothes of his own or give him some old clothes to keep?

There are many reasons why surgery would be a bad idea for your friend,  most have been mentioned by previous respondees so I will not repeat them.  \n\nMay I suggest that you are looking at this the wrong way?  The problem may not be so much how to get your friend smaller,  but rather,  to get your friend to look at the causes of her being overweight.  There are many reasons why a person would be overweight,  either by choice (concious or sub-conscious) or a physical cause.  The most common emotional reasons are:\n\nA fear of being attractive to the opposite sex\nAn addiction to food (could be caused by many things)\nA fear of being "small"\ninsecurity\nLow self esteem\nA desire to be accepted\nA fear of being accepted\n\nand so on\n\nAs you can see,  these are pretty serious things and so I would really recommend your friend spend her money on therapy rather than surgery\n\nThere are also a number of physical reasons why your friend may have weight issues such as thyroid imbalance,  genetics,  hormone related problems,  medication,  IBS and the list goes on.\n\nMay I suggest that it would be a better friendship if you accepted her fully for who she is now and not what she may be if she fitted into societys ideal weight.

To me it sounds like your friend is jealous.  I don't see anything wrong with running in the proper attire, I'm pretty sure that the guys would not be offended.  Guys don't hate it, overweight chicks with low self-esteem might though.

My husband loves a thong! His favorite, though, is no clothes. He has always said too, it's sexier to see me in his clothes than my own...  At least I don't want to see him in my clothes!
