You are so close to being there. There has been excellent advice since my last post. Getting her to go to your gym is a great idea. Encouraging her to eat the right things by example is another good way. It sounds like you eat healthy, but if all the stuff in her apartment is unhealthy it makes it too easy to eat that way. Raeanna also had great advice about her probable mental state. She has to have hope that it will change. My wife was very similar in that she had always been skinny and ate whatever she liked. After we got married, she gained around 20 lbs and was in a size 10. On her own and without any help at all from me, she lost 25 lbs through Weight Watchers and has been in a size 6 since that time (2 years now). It took me about 18 months to see the light myself, and I eventually went on Weight Watchers. I have lost 84 lbs to date and am in the best shape of my life. However I had to decide on my own to do it. She just provided the encouragement that I could do it throughout the process and never made me feel bad about how I looked before.
