The title of Your Big Fat Boyfriend: How to Stay Thin When Dating a Diet Disaster (by Jenna Bergen)was enough to convince me to order it.I think women in most relationships agree it is easier to skip workouts and eat junk food when in a relationship with a "big fat boyfriend."
Many nights David and I have indulged in huge meals and then just cuddled on the couch when I would normally be cooking something healthier and then gone out for a walk.
The book was a fun read. It didn't delve into the deepest parts of nutrition or put out anything new or controversial, but it did provice some real-life inspiration to take a harder look at how our relationship affects me.
Overall, this is an enjoyable book that you could certainly live without. Most of the tips and content was similar to what we'd read in a magazine like SELF. It is a FUN book.
I'd recommend the BFB blog! The content is written similarly to the book.
My tips to stay thin in my own words: To stay thin (and healthy!) while dating your own diet disaster, use smaller plates, make healthier choices and find activities you both enjoy!
my example: me on the left, David on right. The bowls we're using are big serving bowls!Have you read this book? What is your favorite nutrition-related book?
