Seeing somebody who's too fat...?

OK, here's the story, as short and simple as possible.

I've been seeing a girl for a few months now. It isn't too serious. From a personality and chemistry perspective, she is fantastic and I very much like spending time with her. She's pretty as well (actually quite pretty). On paper, as they say, she's great.

The problem is that she's overweight. It's mostly concentrated in her midsection, but the moral of the story is that a) she has a body type I don't find attractive and b) she is about 40 pounds overweight. I am fairly torn on this. We are wonderfully compatible emotionally but physically I am just not attracted to her. I don't imagine that it would get any better either - in her 30's, no children, and no real desire to be active or improve.

I am not a hypocrite as I am in very good shape and work out roughly twice a day. Still, I feel shallow and I do not under any circumstances want to mention anything about her weight. I don't feel like there's anything necessarily wrong with her for the vast majority of people - just me. I understand my standards are higher than most. I am just at a loss as to what to do since this woman is amazing outside of her physique.

My concern (which I believe to be well-founded) is that if it's bad now, it's going to be much worse later. I'm thinking considerably down the road, but I don't want a fat wife who I'm not physically attracted to if I'm only marginally attracted to her body now.

Any advice? Thoughts?
