I have to say that this sounds so much like me and my husband. I was 120 pounds when my husband and i met. Loved the way i looked, then the birth control pills happened. I went from a size 6 to a now size 12. I get so down on myself, I hate to see pictures of myself, and im the same way as your girl when it comes to shopping. My husband loves the way i look regardless and he wants me to wear cute clothes (like i used to)instead of just jeans and a t-shirt. BUt when we go into a store it seems that everything cute ends at about size 6/7, then that just upsets me more. I too always get on a kick about losing weight, but can't stay motivated enough to do it.
I think your doing your best. I know that even though I don't feel it and don't understand where he sees it, it always makes me feel better when he tells me how beautiful i am. I think all you can do for her is just be there. Keep telling her you love her no matter what, and maybe you could start working out with her, support her in that way as well. Now that i just had a baby Im finally serious about working out, and it's something we're going to start doing together. I think having someone do it with me rather than setting back telling me how i need to do it will help me to stay comitted this time.
