"I maybe lose one or two, but nothing significant&amp;amp;#8212;just enough for a bit of a confidence boost. (I normally avoid diets and gym machines, but gotta feel good in case clothes come off, right?) But several Hollywood starlets seem to put on a bit of weight when they&amp;#x27;re in a relationship. Just last night, I came across this headline in my weekly In Touch... &amp;quot;Anne gained 10 pounds for love and LOOKS GREAT&amp;quot; Yes, they really did put &amp;quot;looks great&amp;quot; in all caps. The article goes on to say that Anne Hathaway&amp;amp;#8212;according to sources&amp;amp;#8212;&amp;quot;lost so much weight after her breakup [from Raffaello Follieri] because she was so depressed and horrified by what happened.&amp;quot; (If you recall, that&amp;#x27;s Anne&amp;#x27;s ex who was arrested for fraud and money laundering.) And now that she&amp;#x27;s seeing actor Adam Shulman, the source says, &amp;quot;She&amp;#x27;s comfortable in a relationship...it&amp;#x27;s only natural that she would get back to a normal weight.&amp;quot; Don&amp;#x27;t we all fluctuate a bit when we&amp;#x27;re dating a guy? (There&amp;#x27;s even been studies about the phenomenon.) Just yesterday, People.com had a story on funny gal, Anna Faris, saying that she plans on &amp;quot;fattening it up&amp;quot; for her upcoming wedding. &amp;quot;Now that I have a man, I&amp;#x27;m like, &amp;#x27;Oh, I don&amp;#x27;t have to try anymore!&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Now I can eat.&amp;quot; And what about Jessica Simpson? She seems like the perfect example of dating yo-yo dieting. She gained a few pounds with John Mayer...then lost it...then gained some back again with Tony Romo. I think a lot of it depends on your guy. One of my friends has been with her boyfriend for a couple years, and she&amp;#x27;s still going to the gym like a maniac. (Prior to their dating, you&amp;#x27;d be more likely to find both of us on the couch with some Little Debbies than lifting weights.) But since he&amp;#x27;s a bit of a workout phene, I think she sometimes feels like she has to keep up. What about you? Do you gain a few pounds when you&amp;#x27;re in a relationship? Slim down? P.S.
