"Tell your friend that you have noticed that she has lost a lot of weight. Ask her what method she is using. Encourage her to check in with her doctor to make sure she is following proper protocols. Tell her you are happy for her but a little concerned that the weight loss has been so rapid. Remind her that you love her and want the best for her. The rest is up to her."
"I feel like my 8-year-old son doesn't listen to me unless I raise my voice. I hate that yelling has become our norm. It leaves me feeling frustrated and guilty, and I know it's probably affecting him too. Small things like getting dressed, brushing teeth or cleaning up toys can turn into a major confrontation, and I end up yelling just to get him to comply."
