Pre-Owned Your Diet Is Driving Me Crazy: When Food Conflicts Get in the Way of Your Love Life (Paperback) 156924474X 9781569244746

Whether they have been together for two weeks or twenty years, many couples struggle with subtle--and sometimes serious--eating tensions. These issues almost inevitably simmer, eventually becoming an emotional drain and leading to intimacy problems and dysfunctional eating. Now, in, nationally recognized nutrition expert Cynthia Sass--an official spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association--identifies and addresses nearly twenty food-conflict situations and shares her secrets to ending food fights and finding ways of eating better together. Readers will closely identify with the book's real-life scenarios--when one partner has picky eating habits, or encourages another to overeat, or gets irritable when hungry, or when a partner begins a new diet (or, worse, a radical new diet). And they will embrace Sass's original, creative strategies and suggestions--advice that is deeply rooted in her decade of working with thousands of couples in a wide variety of settings. Your Diet is Driving Me Crazy is the first book to acknowledge the problem of relationship-driven food conflicts and to offer comprehensive, sensible strategies and solutions for resolving them.
