"Lauren Conrad calls it &amp;amp;#8220;the boyfriend layer&amp;amp;#8221;&amp;amp;#8212;the pounds you pack on during the honeymoon period with your new guy. &amp;amp;#8220;We were having more romantic dinners out, and I was exercising less,&amp;amp;#8221; the reality star said about her relationship with actor Kyle Howard. Ah yes, the dreaded boyfriend blubber, perhaps the one downside to falling in love. It happens so gradually&amp;amp;#8212;a few nights on the couch with pizza, a few margarita-and-queso summer dates&amp;amp;#8212;and ba-boom, you&amp;amp;#8217;ve got a third party in your romance: your double chin. Is your boyfriend making you fat? Check out what blogger Joanna has to say! And unlike your single days, you hardly notice the extra padding! And, if you&amp;amp;#8217;re in the right kind of relationship, the guy you&amp;amp;#8217;re with won&amp;amp;#8217;t care much either. Unless he&amp;#x27;s a jerk--find out if your BF is subtly calling you fat! Conrad said she slimmed down by working out with her guy and doing more outdoorsy stuff versus cozy&amp;amp;#8212;and caloric&amp;amp;#8212;nights in. While Lauren&amp;amp;#8217;s life in the public eye gives her the burden keeping somewhat trim, the rest of us happily can pig out on that homemade apple pie or engagement chicken. At least until next year&amp;amp;#8217;s bikini season rolls around! Do you find that you gain weight when you&amp;amp;#8217;re in love? Do you mind? Does he? How do you get your figure back&amp;amp;#8212;and keep going on dinner dates with your man? More Ways to Get Glamour You could win $50,000 just for registering or logging in to Glamour.com!
