they certainly do work, yes! i might my ex bf on there and i'm no saddo. nor was he.
That's great.
Get him to chuck in some English lessons, and you're done!
Being in a happy relationship contributes too- we've got fat because we had the money to eat out regularly in good restaurants, and basically have a great time.
Now we're skint we're eating well, and we're losing weight quite quickly. It's amazing what having to live off vegetable soup does for the waistline.
But yeah, a lot of girls put on weight in marriage because they eat the same meals as their partner. Most people end up having equal portions, and for most women that's too much. Even if it's great and healthy food, if you're eating the same amount as someone who burns off 500-600 kCal a day more then you're eating too much.
Oh hunny, I feel your pain! Well kind of. My boyfriend is a meat and potatos guy. Thats all he ever eats. Considering I dont eat red meat, its tough. He has always eaten out. Therefore, since I've moved in, we always eat out. I get whatever looks good. He eats whatever looks good, which is usually alot
He has also gained 20 lbs since meeting me, how, I dont know as I dont think his eating patterns have changed at all!
I hate eating out now. We do it at 7 days a week. For so long we didn't care about apatizers or deserts, we just got what we felt like eating! After eating nothing for so long, I just gorged.
I try to go for the salads and such, but since we eat out every meal they still aren't even that healthy. Resturant salads are so huge with so much. Never fat free dressing. Its impossible to eat good. I've tried but we have completly opposite tastes in food. Honestly, anything I like, he doesn't and vice versa.
The only thing thats helped me lose weight is since 5 days a week I eat breakfast and lunch by myself I keep to weight watchers. Keeping everything down.
Surpsingly I've actually lost that 6 lbs. And its more than 6 lbs water weight. That weight loss actually gets me into the pants I used to wear 50% more comfortably than I did for quite a long time.
After all this rant though, one big main thing that I think affects my wieght gain since I've met the boyfriend is how I was raised. For probaly the first 13 or so years of my life, if I wanted desert, I had to finish all thats on my plate. Finishing your plate was a good thing. I've always carried that since. When we're out, I eat everything. When I'm full, when I'm stuffed, I will finish everything. And since resturants give you large portions, I get very full and continue to eat for quite a while since its a pure habbit to finish everything. Even now, I've tried very hard, but it is very hard to get out of the eat everything on your plate habbit.
