I don’t know how to let my girlfriend know she needs to start watching her weight without her getting in her feelings.
She knows. She doesn’t need you to tell her she gained weight. If she brings it up, let her know you support her.
Help her plan out meals, shop together, cook together. Eat lower carbs, increase veggies and lean protein, only eat fruit for dessert. Avoid sugar and sugar-free items. If it’s not her idea, then she will not appreciate your comments or stick to whatever plan you put in place. You could also plan dates that are more outdoors and activity related. Plan playing sports. Join a local volleyball team together this summer or join a softball team together. Go walking around the neighborhood after dinner. Go on hikes on the weekend.
Unless it is a serious threat to her health, you should not bring it up. If she is overweight, she knows — I guarantee it. If she brings up the conversation, that’s one thing, but even then, be very careful because weight can be a very touchy subject for many girls and women.
