I [23 M] am trying to get my girlfriend [23 F] of two years to live healthier, but she just won’t listen.

My girlfriend is my high school sweetheart. We’ve known each other for 9 years and we’ll have been dating for three come February. I love her with everything I am. But she’s as stubborn as an ass when it comes to her diet and excercise. She simply won’t work for a healthy alternative.

I myself used to be 290 lbs. After a year and a half, I now weigh 216 lbs. I’ve tried bringing her with me to the gym so we can work out together, but she constantly finds reasons not to go. She also refuses to change her diet; an unhealthy mess of fast food and carbs. Whenever I talk to her about it, she becomes incredibly defensive, no matter how delicately I’ve approached the issue.

Perhaps I’m being too aggressive in my efforts, but she continues to gain weight at an alarming rate and I just want to see her be healthier.

I don’t want her to feel like i’m Shaming or pressuring her, but i’m Genuinely concerned for her health at this point.

tl;dr : Help me find a way to motivate my girlfriend to get back in shape.
