[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's about 5'2" (barely) and I have no idea what her weight is. If I was guessing, I would say it has to be at least 140. We have a physical coming up, so I can sneak a peak at her chart then. I want to bring it up with her, but I am terrified of scarring her. She's way too smart for the whole "I'm concerned about your health thing," but yet she doesn't seem to care all that much that she is on the heavier side. [/quote]

What do you mean the "I'm concerned about your health thing?"  Are you not?  Being overweights is a HUGE health care risk.  I think I might start by subscribing to Prevention Magazine.  It publishes easy to read articles about the health effects of exercise and healthy eating and maintaing a healthy weight.  I'd have it in the house, read it yourself, share interesting things you learn with her.  Talk about superfoods and why you're determined to get more omega 3s.  I would absolutely focus on making healthy choices.  The more you focus on getting 7 fruits and vegetables/ day, the less junk you eat and the weight will reflect that.  Focus not on restricting "fat foods" or her size but on eathing good foods cause of their nutritional value.
