There are many other factors than food as to why she would not be gaining. What is her job like? Does she drink a lot of water? What do the two of you eat when you are not together? I am not going to tell you how not to gain weight back, because you are there. I am glad that you had the courage to post your story and to start again. If you are eating a lot, I would recommend going to the nutrition section of some fast food websites. I find it very surprising how high in calories, fat, and sodium things are, but also it is very interesting to compare options. One fast food's burger is the same as another's double burger. At some places, three chicken sandwiches is the same as a burger. Fries are a killer. Try to see if you really love fries and are noticing yourself eating them, or if they are mindless fillers or just a way to save money with a combo. I find I crave fries but am indifferent about them when I am eating them most of the time. Also, if you are trying to save a buck with a combo, remember that at fast food restaurants, most of the time the really cheap stuff has the most calories. The money you save will just have to be used down the line for exercise gear or such.
Good luck at getting back on track!
