I think you're the one with a problem. I'll clear my plate if the food is good and I'm up for it and I don't care who knows it. I don't see how that makes her a pig. Why would you only eat half of your plate on a nice meal out? Unless the portions are gigantic, I don't see why. Leave her to her devices, if she's careful about exercising and being active, why are you complaining? Do you like her for her or are you already trying to change her? If you didn't like that straight off, why did you start dating her? Usually when you first start seeing someone, you like them as a whole. Small problems come later. Not right at the start. "Oh she's a little overweight for me but what the hell I'll date her". What's up with that. Plus if it's "just a few pounds", can't you get over it? Some people enjoy their food, and as long as they know they can't do that ALL the time, then there's nothing wrong with finding pleasure in the simple things life has to offer.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
