I agree: it is very important to emphasize that she will feel better about herself mentally and physically when making healthy choices about her body. Be careful that you don't insinuate that you are turned off by her; it could back fire in horrible ways. I have known woman who loose the weight and stay the same "incredible girlfriend" only to dump the current boyfriend and move on with their new found self esteem. It's very important to let her know you are walking this path with her.
