Honey, Does This Make My Butt Look Big?
A Couple’s Guide to Food & Body Talk

The buzz:

“I laughed so much I almost forgot I was getting really good ideas about how to teach my husband to talk to me about being chubby and all my food and diet ‘stuff.’ I think if he reads this he might be able to be helpful, instead of infuriating. Fabulous book, right on the mark and written in small, readable chunks.”
      —J.B. Brody, Amazon.com reviewer

“This book is a gift to everyone who has ever struggled with intimate relationships: honest, insightful, original, and, perhaps most important, funny. There is hope. The cartoons are hilarious, the wisdom rich and accessible.”
      —John Mizelle, MA, MFT

      —Jenni Schaefer, author of Life Without Ed (McGraw Hill, 2005)
