Those are interesting points. We spend lots of time together and cook for each other (I cook the main meal normally, as cooking's a bit of a hobby of mine*) and eat together. I don't think our lifestyle is fundamentally different, it's just that I motivate myself to doing things like keeping fit and she doesn't. I guess that's the main problem: we'd be so great together if it wasn't for that, but it's become a really big thing.
*And yes, I've tried reducing meal sizes.

35% body fat is obese. She could have cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, sleep apnea and osteoarthritis in her future if there's not some sort of lifestyle change in the near future. It's rarely easy to get in good shape, but it's never impossible.
If I may suggest? Exercise with her. Make it something that you both do, and that you can share. I can't tell you how many times I've hiked with girlfriends. It's great exercise and gives us plenty of alone time. Then you can share a shower later.

Thanks for that. I was beginning to think I was crazy.
