I read the first original post and skimmed through some responses but I have this to say:
You have some body image issues from your weight, right? I don't know you that well so sorry if this is a moot point: why not pick up jogging with her. She wants you to see a someone. You aren't classically depressed and from what I read stubborn enough like the guy next to you where you don't want to go to therapy. It works on many fronts: one, your body image changes when you actually get into jogging; two, exercising helps release endorphins; three, it gives you two an activity together.
When I had some body image issues and was feeling down, jogging and weight lifting seemed to pick up my spirits, immediately. I was avidly working out in my spare time for about 2-hours a day, 4-days a week, for nearly 2 1/2 years and I felt great.
