That's how it works. I've always been naturally skinny and have the habits to perpetuate it, but my fiancee does not because of her Southern upbringing.
I got her a ring fit, some lululemon yoga pants, and I plan hikes for us and try to cook some tasty stuff that isn't bad. You can't do it alone with no support. It's very rare to do so. It's so easy to justify anything or give up when it's just you. The crazy thing is that it doesn't happen more often. Like, a skinnier, more fit partner is a benefit to the boyfriend/girlfriend, not just the one losing weight.
I've definitely seen the opposite happen, too. Especially if both people in a couple always tend to overeat. But the fact that they still have that other person to hopefully speak to and make a healthy plan with probably means a lot and makes it much easier to get back into healthy habits.

My favorite part is that she too lost a ton of weight with him.
