Regardless of peoples views on if or why they 'get into shape', I would stand by the fact that you shouldn't try to change the other person to save your relationship. But by all means generally encourage and motivate positive behaviour.

On this note:
I'm pretty well educated about human biology & have good knowledge about nutrition, but I'm still fat. I've gone from being fat (25 stone) to slim (15 stone) and am once again fat(20 stone). Knowing what the right thing is and doing it are 2 very different things. Some people don't have the relationship with food that makes them get fat, for people that do, getting slim and staying slim require effort and self control. What usually happens is people lose the weight then relax and let the slow creep begin. I think it will take constant effort throughout my life if I am to be slim and stay slim.
