Exercise is great and all, but it is the eating and drinking part that needs to be controlled. You can jog for an hour and it burns off something like 12.5 potato chips. It is great to do, but not the real answer. I would tell her "hey hon, I don't want to hurt your feelings but I think it is important for me to mention that I am concerned about you putting on weight. I have always been attracted to you physically and I don't want to lose that." Honesty. The best answer that I have seen work many, many times is to join "WEIGHT WATCHERS". It isn't some stupid - eat only brussels sprouts and as much animal flesh as you can until your kidneys shut down - diet. It is a way of learning how to eat sensibly for life.
My favorite is my own patent pending diet plan - the N.E.A.D.L.A diet (pronounced needla). It stands for "Not Eating And Drinking Like and Asshole". It works for many.
