Is your man making you fat? I think we'd all like to answer 'yes' to that question and call the nation's obesity problem solved, and although it's not that simple for the world in your case it is likely that your guy is contributing to your weight gain. It's been found in studies that women gain weight when they move in with a man, which is likely due to the fact that couples tend to adopt each others eating habits and men burn an average of 26% more calories in a day than women do. Those extra calories burn away on him, but on you they park on your hips and settle in for the long haul.Guy-proofing your diet isn't completely effortless, but it is easier than you probably think. Take a look at these tips, which address all of his worst habits (like skipping veggies and drinking a beer every night with dinner) and give easy advice on how to deal. And please share if you have any tricks of your own! Us ladies got to stick to together.

My ex "made" me heavier from a svelte 118 due to stress which causes cortisol increase...his untreated bipolar which causes mood swings and rages and anger caused me such stress. I didnt eat any more than usual )except for the Greek yogurt which I had to stop...dairy is sooo fattening...but the roller coaster with this man caused such stress. I misss him but I lost 10 pounds and I look and feel much better now that he is out
