Book Review: Your BIG Fat Boyfriend

by jamie on April 16, 2009

You love the way he eats, you swoon over his extra topping pizza, bacon filled cheeseburgers, and midnight snacks.  He even shares your love for eating Ben & Jerry’s out of the carton with one spoon while watching sappy romantic comedies.  Problem is, sweatpants have become your new go to outfit and all of your regular jeans have now become your skinny jeans. Your Big Fat Boyfriend: How to Stay Thin When Dating a Diet Disaster

If your guy is a walking, talking garbage disposal, the book Your BIg Fat Boyfriend: How to Stay Thin When Dating a Diet Disaster is a must read.  Author, Jenna Bergen provides tons of tips and facts on how to keep your man and a tight ass.  She provides easy methods for saying no that extra order of bufallo wings, how to talk to your guy about your diet needs, and even menu ideas that are sure to please him while being gentle on your waistline.

While I really like the friendly and fun tone of the book, I don’t like that it assumes all women fall prey to their partner’s eating habits.  Some of us are actually strong enough to say “NO” while he’s trying to force a third helping on our plates or to sitting on the couch all night instead of going for a jog or to yoga class.

Ha this sounds like my life! Except I’m kind of a diet disaster too. :) And I agree with you 100% - not only are ladies strong enough to go work out while their man sits on the couch, but I think they push him to be healthier too.

Inside every skinny girl is a fat girl yearning to be free. If you don’t want to get fat, just say no. Or better yet, don’t date a fat guy. If you’re going to complain and be overly concerned about what you eat–to the point that you blame your boyfriend for your inability to control yourself–then don’t date that guy! I think it’s rather unfair to blame someone else for your weight gain.
