When the honeymoon is over, it's not unusual for newlyweds to notice their waistlines expanding.
After the wedding, lifestyle patterns change, leading to more food consumed and less activity.
One major culprit is television. Married people tend to watch more T.V.,
since they're not just watching the shows that they personally want to
watch.
"You watch your show, but then you have to sit through your spouse's
favorite show, and then you usually have one you watch together,".
Moving in with a spouse who is a good cook can also lead to more lavish
meals, and the cook will often ask his or her spouse, "Do you want some
more?"
"Saying no might be taken as, 'I didn't like the meal,' so they'll continue to eat even after they're full,".
A recent study found that the quality of your marriage also affects
weight gain; couples in happy marriages were found to pack on more
pounds than those in unhappy marriages. Fitness magazine
recommends being aware of how your eating habits have changed to match
your spouse's and to make sure to get a workout in whenever possible.
