After you were first married.........

Did you feel like you were eating way too much ALL THE TIME!!!! I am constantly thinking about food and when my next meal is. I haven't worked out since I have been married either. In fact, I think I forgot what the inside of a gym looks like. My best guess is I am trying to catch up on all the things I had been depriving myself prior to the wedding. I guess I also feel like, 'Well I got married what am dieting for now.' I NEVER EVER wanted to be one of the people to say this!!!

Can anyone relate?

Welcome to this side

Yes, we had a thread a while ago about how most of us have gained weight whether from the honeymoon or marriage in general.

I have no idea why it happens - in my case I've started to do a lot more baking for DH because he loves all that.

Re: After you were first married.........

i'm just eating so much because i deprived myself of so much before the wedding so i could fit into my dress. But now i'm starting to feel it and my pants are getting tighter. So I think it's diet time again. I'm just too lazy to exercise. I get home from work, relax a little, straighten up, then cook dinner... i don't feel like doing anything else. But I think i'm going to start doing yoga again. If not in a gym, then in my house.

Welcome to the newlywed dilemma!

Kathleen, you sound like me. I started eating post-wedding and couldn't stop!! I literally pigged out on the HM, and continued to pig out well through the month of August.. I lost all control. It was only when I realized I gained something 12 pounds in less than 2 months that I had to put a stop to it!! I lost 25 lbs pre-wedding I refuse to put it ALL back

Finally over these past couple weeks I'm back on track and eating much better.. dropped a couple pounds and feel more in control. I worked so hard to get it off pre-wedding and was too stressed to eat most days that I KNOW for me it was just my body rebelling by craving everything.. And since i was happy and feeling calm again I just ate and ate and didn't care about the consequences..

I totally agree with you -- I also do NOT want to be one of those women who say 'I'm married now, I don't care how I look' I do care, I just love food more some days!

Ugh ... I am six pounds away from my pre-wedding weight that forced me on Atkins. I am totally depressed and about to bust out of my big clothes. I cannot believe I gained 17lbs back!!!

Re: After you were first married.........

I started low-carb about a week and a half ago. After getting back for our HM and then the bar-b-ques, my clothes were getting too tight and I refused to buy a bigger size. I hated getting dressed in the morning.
