Thanks =)
First, let me say it's great that you state your motive is to assure her better health in the years ahead. It's also great that you guys have been dating two years, and the qualities you've found in her are all those that make a great mate.

One of the reasons people date, is to find out what others are like, and make determinations about possible futures with them, either as friends, spouses, or whatever. I've found over the years that one of the most frequent mistakes people make in relationships, are thinking that they can "change" the other person and make them into what they would like them to be. The quote above indicates who she is, and apparently who she likes being. I certainly applaud your efforts to make a positive influence in her life, and I hope she embraces those efforts, but don't make the mistake many have made, in thinking you can transform her into someone that she may not be.

Sometimes the way we love others, is accepting who they are, warts and all. Don't get me wrong, I think your heart is in the right place, and I hope your positive influence, can have a positive outcome.
