    Being helpful really doesn't FEEL helpful to someone who's feeling low about themselves. I have a friend who's boyfriend was constantly trying to (helpfully) get her to be more active and eat better, etc,and she was not over weight at all. Eventually the constant nit-picking about her body made her feel so bad, she closed off completely, and actually started gaining weight.
    My advice? Start pointing out the things that you really LOVE that she does. The parts of her body you really love and think are beautiful (And no, I'm not talking "NICE BUM WHERE YOU FROM", I'm talking "Your collar bones are amazing" and "I love the shape of your legs")
    The better she feels about herself, the better she will want to feel about herself.
    Nothing feels worst than your boyfriend (the guy who loves you no matter what) points out things that could be changed.
