One important reason for this weight gain is the relief of ‘finding a mate’ is over, so you slack off for a change and ‘I-am-married’ is the perfect excuse to put on kilos. According to a 2013 article published in Health Psychology, “Couples who are happy, satisfied and secure in their marriage are more likely to gain weight because they no longer feel any pressure to attract a mate.”
4 Carelessness.
Researchers at Flinders University, in Adelaide, Australia, found women who dieted before their wedding put on ‘significantly’ more weight after marriage. Here the wedding day weight change could be because women have ‘snagged’ their man and no longer have motivation to diet. Once married you think your life is sorted, you don’t need to impress anyone any more.
5 You get pregnant!
Pregnancy can be a bit of a double-whammy when it comes to weight gain. Women tend to overeat during pregnancy (of course for the bay’s growth and health) and become inactive. Also giving in to cravings increases junk food intake that leads to weight gain issues.
