Yes that’s right ladies…I went there!!
I’m seriously wondering why ppl say that?
Is it true…why does this happen?
And this doesn’t just concern ladies…it concerns men too…why do they get “beer” bellies… 
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
Its not a universal rule but sure marriage can make some people fat. Some people get lazy after marriage; Its a psychological thing where once in a relationship, they feel like they don't need to look after themselves anymore. So one thing leads to another and you're looking at a tyre around your waist and trouble fitting into your trousers. Sure enough a lot of people do keep their body in check even after marriage and are fit and happy.
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
^ well yeah what Gidsa said.
They're happy so they are less strict about looking after themselves. It can also work in teh opposite way, that they are happy in their relationship so they are taking care of themselves...
IMO, as long as a person is within a healthy weight range, it shouldn't be an issue....I know women who diet/exercised after having kids but do not look the same as they did before they got married....and some guys who were really thin kinda thickened out and actually looked better than before they were married..
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
Fair :k:
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
Of course I am 
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
I remember what one of my cousins told me (we were like in jr high at the time) that sex makes you fat. :hinna:
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
Its exactly the opposite. From what I've heard.
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
That makes sense. From what I've heard.
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
I think relationships make you fat.......they do.
People go out a lot more, are happier and just enjoying themselves without really worrying too much about the consequences. They get lax about their workout routines or healthy eating habits and try to relax.
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
I've noticed a lot of ppl get fat after marriage inc those who have been in relationships prior to that and not put on that much weight till after they tied the knot.. As well as the happiness/contentment thing they might have a less active lifestyle, staying in more after they're married, lazy nights on the sofa etc., they might become a lot more 'homely' (after marriage it's more likely to involve relatives + aunties houses and eating allll that food lol), those who were spending more time at the gym or just exercising at home or even just running around doing normal stuff before marriage might be more likely to devote that 'extra' time to their wife/husband and possibly the extended family as well.. between all that it's often not possible to lead a v.healthy lifestyle.. Also, your metabolism tends to slow down as u get into mid to late twenties which is obviously the first few yrs after marriage for most desi couples so that coupled with the prob less active lifestyle could equal a v.noticeable weight gain..
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
but don't girls have to work more after the marriage??
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
Not if you eat sensibly.. which includes at all the post-wedding 'dawats'.
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
That’s a very common misconception.
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
for women the real fatness deal comes with pregnancy and baby :/
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
I remember putting on weight after marraige, but that was all due to change of lifestyle at my hubbys home, i was never bothered about what i ate after work, or at the weekend, but in thier house it was like an event.
Breakfast was huge, the whole pazzazz, parata, egg, salan, biscuits, rusks, you name it!! and i came from a family that lived on cereal. In the evening after work, i would normally eat whatever was left over in the fridge, if nothing, then tea and biscuits will do, well in hubbys house it was a 3 course meal!
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
^same!!
In my home, I'm the main lady of the house and my Dad isn't a picky eater. So if I don't cook, he eats whatever or makes himself something. I barely eat what I cook so I live on cereal and junk! I'm not much of a desi-food person unless it's something special. My husband's house meals are a huge deal, my mother-in-law is constantly cooking. me and my husband have had disagreements because in his home, his Mum makes lunch and dinner as two different meals. I find that a bit much, i think that one meal should be cooked per day and we can eat that for lunch and dinner. I say I won't cook twice and he says he needs two different meals but doesn't know how to cook.
AGH!!
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
marriage does not make you necessarily fatter! i think its all a matter of how you choose to live. you just have to live in balance. you do however, end up eating out more, as that becomes a big part of the social scene, especially as newlyweds, while traveling abroad, and also just in the honeymoon-ing phase. we eat out a lot, but we both have a gym membership and that was something we got right after moving into our new place. if you do that, then you start getting a routine down and are able to eat out and enjoy without feeling like you're ballooning. i would say, you actually end up staying the same as long as you make healthy choices! i actually have seen girls who've lost weight after getting married and most girls look a whole lot hotter anyway after marriage!
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
^ agree. Hitting the gym has to part of your routine. Eat what you love but work it off.
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
For some people, sure they let themselves go. But I have been slim all my life, and it wasn't cuz I tried, to be honest. So that aspect didn't change after marriage. What changes? You're suddenly eating most meals with someone who probably eats more than you or more slowly than you do. Or you are simply just more excited to eat together, so you linger over meals, chat, eat out more often, etc. All that leads to a very gradual increase in weight.
Plus, most women experience a slowing of metabolism in their late twenties and early thirties. These days, that's when a lot of us are getting married and/or having kids, so the problem is compounded.
Re: Does marriage make you fatter?
I honestly don't think that's still the case with marriages here in America, with all the pressure that women feel to be skinny, I feel like there is more of a need for a woman to stay fit even after she has the kids and all that, at least thats the way that I feel, not to say that I've ever had kids or that I'm married yet, however I am seeing lots of very pretty, fit wives/mommies these days, almost everywhere.
