My husband was a really big eater, but I've noticed that when I try to eat better he follows my example without me eveh saying anything. As my energy body began changing due to my awakening I needed less food, and started majorly cutting back my portions, and lo and behold, he started eating less as well. I start losing weight and he starts jogging and doing crunches. I've also discovered he loves anything I cook, even if it is a food he doesn't like, or at least pretends he likes it, so I've started trying to cook healthier foods instead of us just eating out all the time or munching on chips. I've started trying to bring more fruits and vegetables into the house and have switched to whole grains and try to avoid foods with stuff like high fructose corn syrup. I haven't told him we can't eat out or tried to shove salad down his throat, but I've tried making small steps toward healthier eating and we've both lost weight. Going on crash diets isn't going to do anything but make you binge.
Saying "Hey, we're really fat and should eat less." isn't likely go get your results of a positive nature. In my opinion, example is the best way to lead. Worry about what you can do for your own body, and don't worry about what anyone else is eating or doing. If your girlfriend sees that you are happier and healthier by making whatever changes in your diet or lifestyle, there is a high chance that she will start making healthier choices as well.
