It also might help for her to address the underlying concern -- what got her here? In what area of her life is she feeling undernourished, that she's trying to feed with food? What quality or condition is missing that would make a difference if it were present? (I'd start with "safety", because putting on weight is a classic way to cope with feelings of insecureness.) Would she like to talk to a therapist?
She might also enjoy just having a walking routine with you -- maybe a half hour of easy walking every day, not so much to lose weight, but more for connecting and getting fresh air and getting a little bit of an endorphin party going. Get her into an upward spiral. |
You have to find the root of the problem. At the same time, walking or jogging with her everyday might be a good start. It would give you more time together and get the blood pumping. Just get her to make a commitment to go with you everyday and I think she'll start to feel better. And the fact that you want to spend more time with her couldn't hurt either.
