So I'm going to start my cut in a few days, and I'm not sure how to tell my friends that I'm going to lose weight. I know it may seem like a big deal, but I feel like I might catch some sh*t for going on a "diet." I need a tactful way to bring this up. It's not like they will judge me or anything, I just want to word this corthanksrectly so they understand exactly what and why I am doing what I'm doing.
How to tell my friends...

Why are you even feeling obligated to tell them anyways? It's like you need their approval or anything. Perhaps if you were at 6% body-fat and they were concerned for your life...but beyond that, your health choices are pretty much your own business.
So at lunch you don't eat much, just casually say you had a big breakfast or you plan to workout later and don't do well on a full stomach. In the end, you don't have to explain, rationalize or get approval from anyone else.....you only have to answer to yourself, G-d and maybe Chillen.
Ha well I would love to not tell them, but when I eat 2-3 meals a day with them they would definitely notice something. But yeah I guess I should just tell them. Its just still tough because the whole friendship thing is still forming since I met them in september, but yeah thanks everyone it shall be done.
Okay, from the voice of experience, if your friends are dictated by your dietary choices, then they are not friends. I've found that the one thing my friends could care less about is what/when I'm eating. I don't even see why this needs to be a discussion.
The only way I even see this coming up is if y'all are hanging out one night and decide to go to a fast food place or order pizza. Then you might have to explain why you don't want to eat X food.
Do you normally share unhealthy meals family style (i.e. sharing a pepperoni and sausage pizza, or sharing breaded and fried things at a Chinese restaurant), or go to places where healthy choices are sparse or nonexistent (like fast food burger places)?

I went through a similar thing last year when I started getting serious with my eating. It was no big deal though. The first time I brought a can of green beans and egg whites over for late night meal, sure I caught some flak, but they were just givin me a hard time, cause thats how my friends and I are. It was all good.
I think you may end up disappointed in how little they actually pay attention to you.
people think about themselves, and then they think about what others think about them, and then once they have kids, they think about the welfare of others.
get over yourself lil dude!
you know you love me
