Girlfriend has body image issues

she's emotionally eating for a reason something started this. Now its just becoming a cycle of being insecure and eating. You need to help her break the cycle. Also encourage her to eat better make healthier meals with her or something and exercise with her. Tell her thats how she can stay with you not by eating more.

Point out the vicious cycle.
Make healthy meals and eat with her; exercise with her or something

Tell her that you feel the same way about yourself sometimes.
Tell her you want to start working out and you need a workout partner.
Get fit together.

You can accept her without encouraging her to stay fat

Play the angle where you're concerned for her health.

You might be right about your boyfriend, but might not. It sounds like you're projecting your own feelings of insecurity on to your boyfriend and using it as an excuse to keep eating. This is unproductive. You don't feel good about yourself, so find a way to make a change before your health is impacted in a major way. I'm saying this as someone who went from 240 to 160.

Become excited to lose weight. You will feel better than any food could make you feel to see the scale go down every week. Just little changes can add up so quickly. Take your boyfriend out of the equation and make the changes you need to.

I do, I tell her she's gorgeous. But he bigger she gets the more it feels like I'm lying so I want to be as honest with her as possible. I'm trying to make her not feel bad about herself. I said I can look past a little weight and I still love her just as much.

You're right it is a cycle. I don't to accidentally insult her by trying to encourage her to lose weight. It happened before. I can't really relate to her body image problems. She said she's trying to lose it but she's going through a lot right now and it isn't her main priority.

I wish I could make her excited about losing weight instead of thinking it's a burden and only doing it to maintain the relationship. But that's out of my control.

I did that. She knows that angle.

exercise will make her feel better try to explain better eating and exercise will make her feel 100% better then eating shitty food. She'll perform better in her endeavors.
