"PinterestFacebookYesterday, I got an email from Carrie in Kansas City: &amp;quot;Help! My boyfriend is making me fat. He loves burgers and fries and milkshakes, and I can&amp;#39;t help snacking along with him. Of course, he&amp;#39;s super thin, but I&amp;#39;m packing on the pounds. What should I do?&amp;quot;\nHave you noticed that your boyfriend&amp;#39;s cravings can affect your waist size? Give Carrie your advice, and read my tips after the jump...\n****Here&amp;#39;s a tip: When your boyfriend orders the brownie sundae or brings out a bag of chips while watching TV, and you know you&amp;#39;re going to munch away...\nEat a few bites and then have a piece of mint gum. Not only will the gum prevent you from taking bites of his dish (unless you&amp;#39;re really hungry:), but the flavor and scent of mint has also been shown to reduce appetite and cravings.\nAlso, try to have some healthy snacks around, including (unbuttered) popcorn, soy chips, carrots and hummus, or apple slices. (For more ideas, check out Vitamin G.) Then, you can try to convince him to eat these healthier snacks, and, at the very least, you can eat these while he munches away on Doritos.\nMy dear readers, tell me: Has your weight ever gone up (or down) because of a boyfriend&amp;#39;s eating habits? (Seriously, men eat a lot!) What did you do about it? Let me know, I&amp;#39;m so curious!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
