My junior year of high school, I packed on a few pounds...OK, a lot of pounds. I gained this weight unbeknownest to me....like, I didn't realise I had gotten chubby until after the fact. It's possible that's what happened to your lady fair. I *did* shed the weight through diet, exercise, and a good support system of friends.
Broach the subject carefully...also, make it a "we need to eat well/exercise to be HEALTHY" thing instead of a "we must lose weight" kind of vibe. I absolutely love my daily (Monday thru Friday) workouts. It's "me" time. And while I'm still far from the "ideal" body type (I'm still a size 12) I feel the healthiest I ever have in my life. Work out to stay healthy, and the pounds will come off by themselves.
Also, I totally agree with Averett's suggestion to not buy junk food. If it's not there, you can't eat it.
Well...that's about all I can think of. Good luck.
