One of my ex's put on a bit of weight while we were together because of my crap diet sometimes...
I saw her a few months after we split up and she had lost it all again! All my hard work was undone lol :thumb:
The woman stay slim and care about staying slim until she get a proper relationship, then love can make her confident enoug so she doesn't have to stay that slim as she know her guy won't leave her cos of that as he love her...
I understand the thing where people get comfortable and don't have to try as hard to stay slim but I supose it also depends on the person.
people always put on weight when they're in a relationship, partly because you're content and partly because you go out more for meals and the girl tries to keep up with the guys eating habits.
I never had that problem with my last ex as he had tendencies to eat exclusively at KFC and Burger King. :yuck:
I'd say it had a lot to do with eating as frequently as a lot of blokes do, quantity, snacking...and definitely related to alcohol in many cases. I'd say being in an unhappy relationship would definitely contribute too, unfortunately.
I just came out of a long term relationship and I have noticed a lot of change in the way I eat - I noticed the other night that when i cooked a meal exactly how i wouldve cooked it before, I had my meal plus 2 other meals for leftovers whereas before, the 2 of us wouldve eaten all of it in one go. and lots of unhealthy stuff that he liked, i just dont buy now whereas before, i would buy it for him but also eat it too cos it was there.
but on the other hand, I sometimes have worse habits, like eating just cheese on toast for days since there doesnt seem a point to cook a whole proper meal just for me, or skipping the meal all together.
the thing about not having to bother anymore cos you already got someone is something too - we were together for 7 years and I certainly no longer thought about whether or not i was trim for him after all that time - but now, the thought of someone new seeing me naked makes me want to run for the gym and the fake tan
True. I put on more than 10Kgs since I am with SCC, but then again I was skinny as hell so it aint bad. Still far from being fat, but gain a lot of muscles tho due to the fact that I have now more activities as before...
Monkey see, monkey do...
with me, my ex boyfriend was quite athletic and looked good so i felt i wanted to do the same so made an effort.
i can see how it'd happen though but personally i wouldn't let myself get that comfortable with someone that i felt uncomfortable with my weight/how i looked.
Though the real reason behind it is because I quit coke and ate more than a sandwich a day after I met him
We've had probably a total of 5 meals at home since I"ve met him also.
I've lost 6 of it though
Also the fact that i dont make myself sick hardly ever now, whereas i was doing it a lot more before i met him. Im starting to lose the weight again now though cos it was pissing me off so im dieting.
i used to dislike being single, made me miserable as i thought the grass was greener and crap. plus i went through a string of lads and none of them worked out so it made me miserable. then i got with my boyfriend (my first one!) and then when we split up..i've realised being single isn't all that bad and i actually enjoy it. i mean i loved being with him, but i love being by myself too. not everyone enjoys being single.
but i know a lot of people who actually choose to be single. they have guys or girls after them and they just don't want relationship at the moment. the amount of people that say to me 'why are you single??' as if im abnormal and should be in a relationship just because some people fancy me. don't get me wrong, i have had some great relationships and have felt really happy when in them. but i feel really happy right now too.
yeh it's weird, before i got with my ex bf i always wanted a relationship. now i've had one i'm not bothered about having another! wasn't trying to say you didn't know not everyone was happy being single.
Well, it's alright if you're not too much of a munter to fuck around.
I couldn't imagine eating any more in a relationship, but I have the metabolism of a shrew anyway (minus the taste for insects).
When i am a bit moody I tend to eat very little for a period of time, still I don't lose weight.
Wish I could gain weight, so there would be something to turn into muscles.
No chance baby. Wish I knew the answer to this mystery.
why are single women slimmer than married women?
cos single women come home, see whats in the fridge and go to bed, married women come home, see whats in the bed and go to the fridge
