Correct, OP, it's none of your busines.
If they were interested in losing weight, they'd have started by now. If they wanted your advice, they'd ask.

Type 1 diabetic. It might not make sense to you but because I care about this person, I want to give them as much privacy as possible.

Just say that you've noticed they've put on some weight and you're wondering if they're on new meds which fuck with their appetite, make them retain water or whatever.

Pay a homeless guy 5 bucks to shout "You fat fuck" when your friend passes him by.

I didn't get fat, I just gained mass.
I guess that depends on your definition of fat, like overweight or obese? I would say the best thing you can do is actually get the person to start training with your or something. I know that if you straight up tell them in most cases it has the reversed effect ,people will just feel hurt and do it even more.

"Dude you're getting fat."
My friends and I have no problem saying that. Then go into how much it looks like they have gained and what they should do.
I've never ever told a woman that she was fat so good luck figuring that out.

The only person who can really say "you are fat" to them is a doctor, then.

When you're both in the same elevator: look at the weight limit, shake your head and say 'no this ain't gonna work' and walk out.

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
Fucking inflation, back in the day you could get a homeless person to yell that, kill someone, then wash your car windows all for an Ole English 40oz. Throw in half a KOOL and then you could get yard work for a week.

Every time you see him/her eating junk food, grab the food and dunk it in the garbage can. You can even try to do a backflip if you're feeling lucky.
Judging someone based on their weight is not a sign of caring. Fuck you and what you THINK a healthy weight is, unless you have a degree in medicine. If you want to impose your will on someone, chain them in your basement like the rest of us. Don't look for clever ways to manipulate them with passive/aggressive comments.
Chances are, the people who think others need to "lose a few pounds" are less happy with themselves than the fatty they're judging. So go ahead and work on yourself and stop "worrying" about your friend.

When he/she is walking past you, yell out 'EARTHQUAKE!' and duck under your desk.
Just fat I guess. The gut goes over their belt. We've always been of a similar build with him having a few inches over me. I was going to say, "dude what the fuck? You've transformed into one of those stereotypical lawyer guys," to bring attention to that gut but every time I've been critical of his lifestyle choices he gets really hurt. He eats a lot of salt as well and if I tell him to cut back or go easy on the salt he gets angry and upset. I don't see this guy enough to want to make the time we do spend together uncomfortable so I just drop it after a while. The only other thing I've said to him about his weight is that if he worked out, he would be really buff, but he said he didn't have the time or otherwise just forgot about that. It's hard to be direct with him because he can easily rationalize his way out of it. He's really God damned smart about everything but his health.

Yep. This and all the posts prior that said basically the same thing.
Yep. We told a friend.
Is it a significant other? And male or female, it changes your approach a lot.

I don't think there's any soft approach to this.
Perhaps the person is aware and planning on doing something about it?

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider

The following occured during my college years circa 10yrs ago.
Female Friend: Ask Joe whether he likes me or not.
YoungHav: Hey Joe, Female Friend is feeling you are the feelings returned?
Joe: Naw, she is too big.
YoungHav: Hey Female Friend, Joe says you're too big for him
Female Friend: *looks devasted*
Female Friend eventually lost weight and became a swinger. Now she is married and still thin. If it weren't for this, who knows if she would have motivated herself?

No no no. You have to be more subtle. Say "When are you due?" or "Congratulations!"

It's his body. I'm sure he already knows what's going on with his weight and is probably ashamed of it. From what you've said, it sounds like you mean well and you want to encourage him to lose it, but he can only really motivate himself. Shaming him is just going to make things worse. About the only thing you can do without being a bit of an ass is to try to encourage him to join you in some kind of regular fitness activity that he'd find fun or grow to enjoy.
As amazing as this sounds, some people just don't realize how fat they are. I was 310lbs and am now 255lbs. Looking back at pics, I'm like "Damn!", but I didn't realize then I was that gotdamn big. In fact I still feel the same about my body and it's the complements that remind me I lost so much weight. Just inform your friend about their weight, they will thank you later #drake.
Hahaha, so many hilarious replies.
With my bro, I think it's the opposite. He already has the girl (getting married next year) and is a little too comfortable perhaps. He probably does notice it and honestly doesn't care. I have no idea if his fance ever mentions it or not, but probably not. She might not have noticed it since they're together everyday.

You know, you gave me an idea. I'm going to ask one of our mutual friends if she's noticed it too. I know she'll be direct with me about it. GAF came through because I never thought to do that on my own! This will confirm if I'm paranoid or if I'm right to be concerned.
Are you under the impression they aren't aware they've become fat? Why else would you need to tell them.
If you want to offer to walk together several times a week or something. Generally, it helps people stay on track if they have a partner and know someone is expecting them to be there.

Man...I hoped it didn't show..Im still carrying a little holiday weight, but I'm working on it! Damn you're mean!
Mother-In-Law: I can tell you haven't gotten your daily walks in. Looks like you gained a little weight.
Fiancee: Yeah mom, I've been gettin' a little chunky. Gotta get back in track... he likes the chunk though.
Younghav: Yeah, it makes her look very fertile.
Mother-In-Law: .... you're weird.

My first thought.
My sisters and I keep each other in check. I don't know; you have to be very comfortable with the person, like borrowing clothes and such. I mean we say things like "don't get fatter now" or " don't go down to the way you were, you look good that way"
In fact its a good way to start a conversation. Not like " Hi, Oh my god you have gotten so big"
Thats a complete no no

anonymous text message telling them they are fat?
I find this works with men as well.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
If you go out drinking with them, address them as Tubby McTubberson at some point.

If one suspects another person has gained literally just "a few pounds" and is thinking "OMG FATTY! HOW CAN I BREAK IT TO MY FATTY FAT FAT FRIEND?" then it's proof that culture has turned 20-30 year old males into what used to be the cultural stereotype of high school cheerleaders.
Contrary to what the body image insanity of America may tell us, it's actually normal to gain and lose a "few pounds" during the year. It's also normal for body shape to change slightly as one ages.
Unless the OP means his friend has suddenly, visibly, gained what can only be 30-40 pounds, I would say don't screw with it.
Also, if you actually care about someone and aren't just getting the heebie jeebies because you're so shallow that the idea of being seen with a "fatty" scares you, I would suggest actually considering what you can see of the person's overall lifestyle. For example, you might find real signs they're depressed about something that is a much bigger problem than gaining 10 pounds. Help them fix that, in this example, and the rest follows.

I'm pretty sure they know... It might help motivating them to lose it if they're gaining it but I doubt all this time they sat there thinking they haven't gained any weight as their clothes get tighter until you said something. It was completely unknown to them.
