I don't know - call me callous - but I don't think I would take it personally if I were in Flier's friends' shoes. If I became really close with an online friend and they told me a white lie (because face it, Flier's real weight really should not make one iota of difference to the friends), I think I'd say "okay" and then continue with whatever the preceding conversation is. I don't think it would affect my trust, especially if Flier comes clean completely on her own. I doubt I would be hurt over something like this.

Ian is going to be a-ok!
