Perhaps you can do it in a round-about way. Tell her you've been feeling unhealthy and would like to start living a more healthy lifestyle. Mention to her, that you've noticed she's gained a little weight and you feel you have too (lie if you must). Suggest that you both start eating healthy meals and become more active, ie: walking, etc..

Whatever you do, don't say SHE'S the only one that needs to change her habits, it should be a joint project. I'm sure you'll agree.
Exactly what I was thinking.

Especially if you want her to lose the weight and you truly love her than you will be willing to do whatever you need to together to help her. But remember that if she is not bothered by her change in weight you cannot force her to change her body. Just remember why you married her in the first place.
