Question

And how do you ask?

Answer

I feel like yes maybe in an indirect way like “how have been” “how have been feeling lately” like I wouldn’t say “hey you’ve lost a lot of weight are you okay” sometimes being to blunt isn’t the right way to go about it

Answer

I would ask. Yes. I was 150 and in about 6 months I got down to 90 lbs. I was severely depressed and the only thing people asked me was if I was on drugs. I attempted suicide shortly after. Check on your friends! Even if they don’t want to talk let them know that they can if they need to

Answer

If you do something say it nicely. I was always thin but lost TONS of weight to the point I was skin and bones. EVERYONE and their mother felt the need to make comments about it to me and I was actually accused of lieing and being anorexic more times then I can count. I became so self conscious and withdrawn from it. In reality I had a few medical issues, including stomach issues, now with proper medicines I still have a hard time staying around 115.

Answer

It depends on if there’s other signs. I mean my MIL DROPPED weight when she switched to a strict keto diet! So I wasn’t worried. But I also have family and friends who’ve struggled with addiction so I know the signs to watch for. My best friend also struggled with an eating disorder while growing up so I learned her signs as well.
I wouldn’t directly ask them like “omg are you good?!” But I’d acknowledge their weight loss and ask how they did, see their reaction or what they say and go from there. I also am pretty in tune with my intuition as well so I can easily get a vibe when someone is lying or trying to cover something up.
