I agree with Ves, it takes the right balance of support.

What I did when she wanted to lose weight was this. I said, "Honey, I think you look great the way you are, but if you feel like you need to lose weight for yourself, I will support you 100% and help you do it until you get to where you want to be."

Now, obviously I wouldn't support her losing weight down to the "heroin chic" look, but as long as she is striving for healthy weight loss, and wants my support, she will have it. She has been very appreciative of my support and encouragement, and has done a great job dropping the weight.
