“Lydia helps in a way that no one else has ever attempted. And her way is absolutely hilarious. If you decide to read Honey, Does This Make My Butt Look Big? with your `honey,' you will both laugh out loud. You will have fun while you learn and are drawn closer together.”

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

“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. As a psychotherapist for 22 years, I couldn’t recommend it more highly.”

John Mizelle, MA, MFT 

“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.”

“This humorous and compassionate book comes to the rescue in what can be awkward attempts to communicate about food and body image issues. Bringing into the open topics that are often taboo, and sometimes excruciating, Lydia Hanich shows us how to take these painful issues out of the closet. When couples can be allies in addressing food and body issues, there's an opening for deepening and strengthening the relationship, in addition to supporting the partner who struggles. I am glad to have this book to recommend!”

Selene Vega, psychotherapist, Kirkland, WA

"Never again squirm when asked a no-win body image question like "Honey, does this make my butt look big?" This book provides helpful guidance for couples on how to deal with food and body image issues. It's lighthearted, hilarious, and serious all at the same time."
