It is a proven fact that women gain weight after marriage, and the process is so rapid that it becomes obvious to the people around you. But trust me! you are not as upset as before the marriage. In fact, you are really pleased with the idea of not having to get out of bed early in the morning to exercise or sacrifice your favorite dessert to reduce your calorie intake. Although your size has increased from 10 to 14 and then to 18, after marriage you just want to let yourself go. However, you don’t really like the idea of someone calling you Ms. Fat Aunt, do you?

Miss Perfect 10 to Mrs. Fat Aunt
So, let’s find out the factors that change your waist line from 10 to 18 within 6 to 12 months of marriage.
o You think you have found a partner for life, you no longer need to attract him.
o You should let your husband know that you are a good cook.
o Kitchens for the family, giving preference to their choice.
o You eat as much as your partner, talking and chewing!
o You eat the leftovers, trying not to waste the food.
o Your partner encourages you to eat more by showing that your excess fat will not discourage you.
o Wants to be loved unconditionally, not happy with the marriage, feeling disrespected, rejected and unloved.
o Pregnancy occurs
Think about it…
The feeling of security you get from marriage is playing the devil… the reason you’re getting fat. Since you no longer have to attract a partner, you stop taking care of yourself. When the marriage is over (God forbid!) and you’re outside the castle of your dreams, you look in the mirror and scream, “Oh my God! What I’ve done to myself! Look at me…don’t I make”. I don’t know the woman in the mirror.” So you decide to shed your extra pounds, it’s time for another matchmaking! But why should your broken marriage be your only enthusiasm for fitness? Be practical and Don’t spoil what can be your lifetime asset, your desire for a good figure will also give you a good healthy lifestyle.
Cook food to make your husband happy, that’s really good! But you should not repeat the richest meals and the creamiest desserts every day if you do not want to see your waist increase. And let me tell you… you need to eat according to your body’s requirements. Not as much as your husband is eating, he has a bigger body than yours, so he needs more than you. You, as a woman, tend to please others and your maternal instinct makes you put the needs of others before your own. Do not do it. You can set an example for them by giving them a good diet and a healthy lifestyle. They will understand and be supportive. Again, he doesn’t like uneaten food left on plates because he was taught to finish his meals. So don’t serve food when you don’t need it or know it might go to waste.
The next reason why your waistline is increasing may be that your husband is encouraging you to eat more, so you don’t look more attractive and he competes less. Do not give in to his insecurity, take him along with your weight loss program and make him understand that you also want to see him fit and in good health.
Another reason is unhappy married life, studies show that couples who are happy stay fitter than those who are not. The reason behind this is that you tend to focus more on food and find comfort in eating and cooking whatever you feel like, to suppress your depression and frustration. Hey, for the love of God, change the idea of eating more!! This will cause you more depression in the long run.
And finally, when pregnancy knocks on the door, you overeat during pregnancy and become too inactive, believing that you need to eat much more than you actually eat and also slow down and relax more than you should. And the sudden craving for special foods during this time only multiplies the problem. Once she delivers the child, she stays at home putting the needs of her child and her family before her own. She will closely monitor her weight gain during this time period. If you gain more fat, you may have complications during childbirth. Do light exercises as recommended by the doctor and eat healthy but do not overeat.
Stay in shape for a successful married life ahead…
Life changes after marriage, you are more loved, more cared for and more secure than ever. The first 12 months are the formative months of your marriage. Do not let him go. Staying in shape will give you the confidence to lay the foundation for her marriage while remaining attractive to her husband. If you gain weight, you only accumulate problems for the future.
