I didn't start going to the gym until months after my wedding....people think I'm crazy. Should I just give up and start eating bon bons relentlessly now?

That's what I thought! But people act like I need to start letting myself go now that I'm married and I should have been a psycho gym chick before, not after.

What a bunch of weirdos!! Why would you let yourself go AFTER marriage? Cause youre married now and he cant run?? Thats so silly.

That may be cause they themselves don't care anymore??
Good for you! Its more than just about what you look like- it's about your health and that doesn't stop after a wedding

I think that the cliche is that women let themselves go after marriage bc they 'snagged' a man.
I gained ten pounds since the wedding but once I realized that I lost three. I want to be a hot wife
Good for you for getting healthier!

LOL! I tried on my dress before I started working out and it fit like a glove. I work out for like 5-7 months. I try it on. It wont close! Luckily Im a year away frommy wedding. I stop working out. It fits again! Its cus my stomache muscles made my tummy wider. So Im starting to work out again now. One month after my wedding LOL! If your crazy, then Im crazy too!

I feel you on this one. For some reason people seem to think that once you are married you should just stop caring about your appearance. I have been doing low carb for a while now-I love the 'Why do you care? You're married!'
Good for you and wanting to get in shape and caring about your general health and appearance. People are stupid. Nuff said!

I'm doing the same thing! I joined the gym a couple of weeks ago
I wish that i had joined earlier but that was not the right time for me to start going to the gym. Now, I'm ready to loose weight

Re: People think it is weird that....
Right there with ya. I wanted to go before the wedding but never really did, and since I've put on more weight. I'm working it off now, b/c I want to be healthier for when we start to TTC.
I'll take this opportunity to put a plug out for our Spark People Team, though-- LIW NWs.
There are just about 19 of us right now who have banded together on Spark People (a health management site) and we've created a team so that we can motivate each other and help each other make our goals. Most of us are on for weight loss, but it's not just for that.
I hope more of you will join!

Re: People think it is weird that....
thats a really peculiar reaction. when is trying to take care of yourself, at any point in your life, ever weird?

It's funny you bring this up because I did the same thing and my SIL said the same kind of stuff to me about just letting go because I am married!!

Re: People think it is weird that....
