My gf eats way too much and uses it to comfort herself. She used to have an eating disorder so I feel like a dick whenever I make a subtle comment to try to get her to eat less. It's like there's two extremes for her, but neither is healthy. It's either way too much or no food at all. How can I help?

Try to address with her the issue(s) that are causing her to lean on food as a comfort. See if you can help switch it up to something a bit healthier (anything from knitting to weight lifting) if the issue itself can't easily be solved.

Personally, I would approach this very delicately. Don't be an asshole, and don't frame this like you're concerned about her appearance.
Let her know that you've noticed how she's been eating, and tell her that it worries you because you've heard about comfort foods or stress eating and you want to know if something else is bothering her. Try and have a conversation based on that instead of just saying "you eat too much!"

Don't get her to eat less, get her to eat healthier. She didn't need to worry about starving herself if she's eating veggies and chicken.
