What is that with gaining weight after getting married?
It seems that every girl gains weight right after the wedding!!
Even my own sister who has ALWAYS been skinny (never above 52 kg) gained 10 kg’s , and it’s only been 7 months since she got married!
Is it because of the contraceptive pills or other reasons play part aswell?
I think we just hang around with men more and they eat more so we end up eating more.. and then age is also a factor..as you get older your body tends to store fat more... then there is the stress factor..
studies shows that people with stress have bigger bellies and with marriage come bills..
Its probably due to many reasons and not just any one.
Birth control pills can cause weight gain, but only about 2 to 5 pounds. You're right though, Pakistani women usually gain weight after marriage, I guess because of lack of time to excercise, more eating, etc, etc.
heheh what a thread shinno. :D .. my sister didnt gain weight after marriage .. so its not sp normal i guess. I think in some cases it's because girls after marriage dont worry about their figure as before marriage.
well and mental satisfication and less stress factor makes u eat more and thus gain weight, nothing to worry about i guess.

In addition to that, I was at the doc's clinic a few weeks ago watching this couples health documentary and its a fact that a couple gains 3 lbs each year.
Shinoo, you should ask the secret of staying slim from my wife ... she was 52KG when we got married .... after three & a half years & having two children she is still 52 :) (166 cm tall if u want to combine the height weight ratio)
But you are right desi girls do tend to get chubby as soon as they get married ... even my sister who was 49KG when she got married is now 64KG after 22 months of marriage & they dont have any child either.
Why desi girls get FAT .. dont ask me ... ask the girls who do, but thats what you are doing ... :)
Well it’s because of u women!
Making delicious meals every day,what can we do,we just hog up!
Not to forget the fact we have to work so hard for your expenses that we never get time to go the gym…and then when u women gain weight start looking all unattractive,depression sets in…so we eat even more!
Hmmm I don't know about that. There are a few girls who do gain weight (namely, my best friend). She used to be teased for being very very slim...now she's tripple the size..possibly more. For her, it was after her baby. She had got quite ill and was on the ivy for a long time. I guess it's the ivy to blame, in her case.
On the other hand, most of my cousins (let's say about 90%) are just as slim. Some have even lost weight. And some don't even look married, until their kids come running calling them 'mommy'. It's kinda cute. :-)
It's got nothing to do with being desi it's called over-eating and laziness. It's a remarkable theory I know and difficult to comprehend at first but I believe it has merit :p
