Friend Of Mine Has Dropped A Lot Of Weight Without Explanation

He's never been a big lad but he is very light for his height, back in June he was about 10 stone, but now he's floating around 8 stone and he's eating quite a fair bit, to me it's a bit worrying

The issue is he doesn't actually recognise it and isn't really bothered, not sure if I am seeing it and over exaggerating as a friend or whether something is wrong, thoughts?

 

Did you give him da aids?

 

Cancer?

 

2 stone is like 28 pounds, right?

That's dramatic weight loss for someone who only weighed 140 pounds to begin with.

Dude is on heroin.

 

As long as he didn't run over a gypsie whose father saw it and whispered "thinner", he should be fine.
If it keeps going, at some point you can say something

 

Dudes on heroin don't eat a lot tho. And they'd gain weight if they did

 

Yeah no loss of appetite and doesn't feel unwell when I asked, just shrugged it off like nothing

 

You lost me at 10 Stone. Too much mathematical conversion for me to care. Hope you friend hasn't dieded.

 

It's teh drugs

Or he is taking it up the poo hole so frequently that he is pooing uncontrollably.

 

Maybe tell him to go see a doctor. Or, just have him bend over so you can pull the tapeworm out of his ass.

 

We perceive how people eat differently than how they usually eat. Everyone has that skinny friend who seems to eat everything in site, but that's not how it works. If this guy has lost 28 pounds (from a starting point of an already narrow 140 pounds), he can't possibly be eating as much as the OP suggests.

 

Are you stalking and documenting everything your friend does, TS?

 

Depression, illness or drugs

 

I am going to be optimistic and say...

He found some hobby that he is obsessed and secretive about. I lost shit tons of weight when I became obsessed with a particular video game for a while. I couldn't think about food or anything but the video game. It consumed my thoughts and attention.

My food intake came from fruit juices or something in that nature and this game consumed me until I finished it from the 3 classes.

 

Tell him to get his thyroid checked. When your thyroid goes bad it can cause sudden and pronounced weight loss even without a change in appetite. If this isn't dealt with it can kill you.

 

He does drugs and doesn't eat while not around you. He only hangs out with you after doing drugs and hes eating a lot because he hasn't eaten in awhile. Trust me I know. His indifference also suggests drug use

 

How many rocks do you weigh?

 

If he had 10 stones and now 8 he smoked 2. Your friends on crack ts.

 

Slick SOAD reference there bro
