It does sound like SHE is the one that wants to lose weight. So, it sounds to me like you were just helping (or trying to) with the "clean the plate" comment. Losing weight is diet. Excersise helps, but no one can lose weight unless they control their diet. Many folks are not aware of how much they eat. It's an easy thing to lose track of, beacause its habitual. So, my advice, if she really wants to lose weight, is to keep a food journal for a couple of weeks. You CAN NOT fight a problem unless you have the information in front of you. Otherwise you're just guessing. How to bring it up is touchy, though. EVen if meant well, it can come across as rude. I guess I wouldn't make off the cuff remarks while she's eating. Wait until you two are having a conversations ABOUT weight loss. That would be the proper forum to introduce new ideas. If she doensn't want to talk about it, then she probably isn't ready to take in advice anyway. Anyhoo, just my two cents.
