My girlfriend was in a situation similar to this one about 2 years ago. She knew she had a problem, and wanted to fix it. Nothing she did seemed to work and then one day she ordered Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Solution book.
It was like a light went off in her head. I honestly don't know what is in that book, but she started to notice changes in her behaviour, eating and excercise habits right away.
Since then she has lost approximately 18 kilograms and has managed to keep it all off in two years. She is eating better than I am (that's the topic of another thread!) and she is a lot happier with herself and in her relationship with everyone else (I can't thank Dr. Phil enough!).
I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking to lose weight or get fit. The first step is realizing you may have an issue and also a desire to actively combat it. If your girlfriend doesn't keep up with it, it will be a losing battle. It was hard for my girlfriend. Although she told me every day how she was doing (and I actively asked her and tried to push her gently), I can only imagine what was going on inside her mind. The problem is much more psychological than it is anything else, remember that.
Whatever her plan, tell her to always have people, things, and activities that play a positive role.
