Do's and Don'ts:

This cannot be a 'wife' thing; this has got to be a "you and me" thing. Pointing fingers or bringing out the blame game does nothing. It's something you must do together.

Say This:

"Hey baby, it's a nice evening out. Let's go for a walk." Start with something that easy, get exercising and moving and then work on eating healthy.

Give her lots of love and support. Criticizing her will only make her more stressed - and likely to eat more. She really has to want to lose weight for herself. But if you support her and set healthy examples (ask to have salad & veggies for your meals) then she'll feel comfortable joining in.
