Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me to help my friend. She is extremely obese. She is so depressed but she ignores everything. She doesn’t seem to care despite it being pointed out to her. She just makes as if she is deaf. She can hear people make fun of her; I guess she tries to blank it out. She doesn’t want to see a doctor. She has no motivation, no will, no self confidence, but she 'seems' happy in herself which suggests to me that it is much deeper and therefore more serious. I want to help her and I don’t know much about diet, I was thinking of diet pills. While surfing on the net, I came through a medication to treat obesity which is called Acomplia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acomplia. Can anyone help me on this matter? I know she needs to help herself to get better but she needs help before she dies. Any advice would be immensely appreciated.

best thing she can do b4 buying a product you dont know much about, is to go see a doctor and discuss the matter, there are so manyother things a doctor can do to help the situaton, and then when she wants to help herself and begins to make some progress, then you can look for alternatives...

Diet pills will only make the situation worse. You still need to have your cardio vascualar system and your diet in check or the pills can have a life threating effect on your body. I would find the source of depperesion cheer her up then start cutting fatty food and starchy carbs out of her diet. Plus start making her eat 5 times a day in very small portions. any ?'s just ask

he's right ^
