To b honest becoming healthier is a process. You can't go to someone you care about and be like "here's our gym regimine. I expect you to follow it or else I'm out." That's a little unfair on your end. You have to work with to make that transition easy for her. You can't expect her to change just like that for you.

Oh God, I was trying to avoid that. I thought disco would be pretty different. Now I feel terrible.

Just bail.
edit: Did LoK get better in the first season? 6 episodes and I couldn't stomach anymore hot garbage.
Seems to me you already have your answer. I find the best thing you can do is educate her on the topic. If she dismisses it, that's her prerogative. You can only hope it means she's comfortable with her body as is. But at the end of the day, any change is best initiated through her own agency.
You obviously like her outside of whatever she looks like, or else you wouldn't bother at all. You should probably focus on that; things will work themselves out. You've said your piece, so it's in her mind. What she does is all up to her.
1-3 are great, treads water till episode 7 where it gets pretty good up to the finale where it falls flat on its face.
I like it overall, but it definitely had its problems.

It got progressively worse, and fell off a cliff at the final 2 episodes. You can blame Nick for that, mostly. The writers didn't know there was gonna be a Book 2 and beyond until Book 1 was finalized.
You mean Legend of Korra? Well, no. It gets worse imo but I couldn't help but stick around. The story of the first avatar was dope even though the retconned a few things
Best season out of the series

I could bore the world with all the bullshit and inane actions that led to the demise of a 9 year relationship but that would be appalling and abhor the masses. Long story short, Im single again by choice. I walked away from a home, my pets, my geese and memories both good and bad. Unfortunately due to the fact that I dont negotiate with terrorist, my 60 inch, ps3 and various other electronics are being held hostage. My phone has been shut off bright and early this morning. I look at it as an opening salvo to the "dark times" that are about to come. I will not speak ill of her but rather break it down like this, she knows and I know. To put it bluntly, imagine if you will the titanic sinking and you being the jackass who thinks damn if I keep bailing water I can keep this fucker afloat. Now insert the fact that the iceberg has the ability to cast spells of the highest magnitude. All of that accompanied by a meteor shower. You can get the picture.
I awoke to my right eye swollen by an unknown assailant. This is what I get for sleeping on a pillow at [REDACTED]. The pain was manageable, but it was the first night that I could enjoy a semi restful sleep. I knew that being down in the dumps wouldnt get me anywhere, so i did what I did best, slapped on that award winningly fake facade of feigned confidence and began the start of a journey that in all honesty I have no clue how it will end. I knew I had a mission, but it was nonetheless a daunting task that I had doubts I could handle. Those doubts lasted 3 seconds. Anger set in. And like a wave it came out of no where. Its what I needed to complete the task at hand.
I lied. I knew where it came from. The thoughts that [REDACTED] was doing this is what got to me. My first stop was to my mother to borrow money. After hearing her loving advice and telling me that I reap what I sow I obtained the money for the barest essentials. I walked out with nothing but clothes. Had no toiletries but I had to keep my job. After having a rousing conversation with the cashier (who helped me devise the title) we picked and chose the materials I needed for success. 38.55 and not enough to get mouthwash, I got my shaving kit and toothbrush and deodorant and soap. I cleaned a little at [REDACTED] put on my uniform and went to work. The moral of this Day is crying and bitching over the past can wait. Right now I gotta do me. The things I lost are fine, just materials. But the peace of mind I have acquired will last forever. Needless to say to be continued.

I'm kidding of course, but disco is never different enough. The rhythm is going to get you. Musical dancy latino trope is a known one, but not beaten like a dead horse exactly.
Maybe a latin fighter/magical realist, sort of like a street punk hunter s thompson who fucks with that santeria stuff and old school superstitions?

Fuck man, I hope things will get better for you Rio
Hang in there Rio. 
Yeah since you pointed it out I can see where it would be problematic. Kinda like the black gangster being in the mafia instead. It's different but not enough to eliminate the stereotype.
That's a pretty neat idea lol

Man, I feel you. I have so been there a time or two in my life. I think you have a good mindset and plan and if you ever feel like you don't know what to do just remember Don Draper, This never happened. It will shock you how much it never happened. Keep your head up and stay on the grind and it will work out.
Edit: Maaaaan Rio.
Who else but Ubisoft even does all that research on game settings though?

man fuck ohio
Lebron that you?
Convince me to finish Korra y'all.
I watched the premiere and a few random episodes but I found the characters annoying at best. It is like they put in more silly shit just to fuel the fandom.

Drop it, it's not that good.
But seriously make sure the watch the season 2 special with Wan, the first avatar, completely separate from the average Korra story, with much better writing and art.
That's pretty much it.
The first season is okay til the end's... failure to live up to expectations.
The second season is pretty garbage. I forced myself through it. It has its few bright spots but it basically sucked.
that bending sport is tight though, I would watch that on some eyeshield 21 shit all day.

Almost all of them?
If you don't like it, don't bother.
I would watch the "Beginnings" two-parter from season 2 if you care about the Avatar concept from TLA, though.
It's shame that action cartoons are so out of favor.
I wanted to give that a try but I know I don't have any Co-op homies and the community is likely dead already
