Do You Change Your Eating Habits When You’re Dating Someone?

A few days ago, Erin gave us a thorough review of the book: Your Big Fat Boyfriend. While I’ve luckily been blessed with a husband who actually likes eating veggies and soy products (even asparagus, broccoli and tofu!), I still have fallen victim a time or two to hitting the pizza box for seconds when he does or—and this is the daftest move of all—trying to match his pace when drinking beer or wine (result: massive headache, lack of energy, general stupidity). But,we want to know about you. Does your significant other influence your diet? —Jenn

I gained 30 lbs when I dated my only real boyfriend. He was a great cook as was I, he didn’t like to even take walks (I think we went on one) and we ate really late. So, needless to say, when we broke up 9 months later, I was much heavier – but in the end run much happier. I would like to find someone who is active and loves food – but just loves to be healthy as well!
Now that I am "older", I have been doing my own eating thing so long that friends, family & anyone that knows me just lets me do my thing. They are way to used to me bringing my own food everywhere unless I have planned otherwise! When I was younger, I did let dating effect my eating & I was a bit heavier & higher body fat than now. Age has its positives!
haha i totally just wrote an article called “Dating again is making me FAT” Since i’m newly single in one week while i returned to my hometown, my family member set me up with like 4 different guys. i went on a date every night and the date always included dinner, an activity, and then a dessert. I ate the bad things i dont normally do b/c i didn’t want them to think i was anal. i’ve never felt so sick in a week’s time ever before…
