Why do people become fatty after marriage? Yes I have noticed in most of the cases when any boy or a girl becomes fatty or get extra pounds on his/her body after marriage. What is the reason behind this. Is there any kind of hormonal activity or due to some other reason. How to maintain this.

I think it can be physical and psychological. Physical: -childbirth - not all the women are going to get back their shape after giving birth to a kid... -no time for working out... there are lots of people who keep in shape due to excessive work-out, diet...when you are living together with someone, run a household, you have less money and time to buy really healthy food or to go to the gym or do sports -age - as you get older, it's harder to get rid of fat Psychological: -people tend to be comfortable... so, they keep in shape to get a good partner... and they can loosen a bit up when it seems they grabbed them good :D (not me, I'm genetically plump :P)

D, I think you're 'perfect' (i.e. ideal to for the world we live in). And no, that's not just because I like 'comfy-sized' girls; but being already-comfortable makes it much easier to settle down, you think?

i think its because once they are married they are more comfortable with each other and don't feel like they need to always look perfect.

I agree with you musicluv. When the woman is still single, she would always see to it that she look her best at all times.

Well I know why i got fat after marriage was because My wife actually made meals for us to eat. When I was living on my own the only thing I would eat was maybe chicken and thats all. I would not have a complete meal. But when I got married she started cooking and we had complete meals with a vegetable and a salad and I gained more weight. I am glad that I am eating better.

Well even i have observed the same thing. people are often seen being chubby after marriage. This may either be due to the hormonal changes after getting hitched or may be due to the changes occurring in the body after marriage. One should wait for atleast a year and then start working out in order to get rid of the fats and flab.

I think women become fatty because they really enjoy eating with their husband. I admit that I gained lots of weight before when I got married because I eat a lot with my husband in anytime his hungry and I cant stop eating when he cook my favorite food. But after a few years I recognized that I am getting bigger and heavier I started to run and watch my food intake. Now my I am fitter like before when I am still single and hoping that I can maintain it as long as I can.

I think husbands or wives or both pick up weight because they eat more regularly. I remember when I was single and living on my own I was very happy just to have a sandwich or a bowl of soup for supper. Now that I have a husband I have to make sure he gets a decent plate of food after a long day in the office. I can't let him eat alone so I too have a plate of food. As we don't have any children fortunately we have plenty of extra time to go to the gym to burn off all the fat! Personally I feel that being married is no reason to let yourself go. One must always try and look your best for your partner.

Myabe they enjoy eating together so much that they often forget that they are eating more than they you usually do.

I think it's caused because the woman is cooking delicious foods. Other reason is that responsibilities need attention. And the private time some people has is less, so they can't pay much attention at their outlook as it was before.

it's depend on the couple how they carry there lives, but i also notice it to my mom when she not married she is very sexy but now she's fat..hahaha i asked her before she told me she don't have much time to think of herself she always thinking of us so that we can be healthy etc,. and she really love foods maybe it also contributing factors and also lack of exercises.

I think there are many contributing factors to that such as stress, lack of time to exercise, etc. Married couples usually tend to forget about themselves for they are very occupied with their children that they could no longer manage to maintain fitness. Exercise and proper diet is the only solution I could think of.

wow! i can relate a lot to your question! because i too gained weight when i get married specially when i got pregnant. :) For me?maybe it depends on the couple because i have seen a lot of couples who never changed in figure. But actually that fatty issue is no more big deal to those who are married because we had promised in our vows "for better or for worse" it was like "for slimmer or for fatty i will love you with every beat of my heart". The looks don't matter anymore. It's the love and how they value each other. :)

people become fatty after marriage is so normal. especially for men, they worked hard for earning money and they were lazy to make delicious food by themselves, so when they were busy at work, they often buyed something to eat and they don't care if the food is delicious so they won't eat too much. but after marriage, their wife can take care of them and prepare delicous food for them when a whole day's hard working so they like to eat more, then they become fatty. i think it is an important reason
