There is some truth to this.
Everyone I know who has gotten divorced, both man and woman lost weight and got in better shape than they were going into it. |

The craziest thing about wives getting chubby is child birth. My wife had 3 natural births and got back down to her pre pregnancy weight of 105# within 6 months.
Other women never lose the baby weight. |

I'll admit it, being married I feel more comfortable and satisfied, gotten lazy, and I have put on weight myself. When you throw in work life getting busy plus kids that will also limit the time/energy for doing things like working out. The one factor ignored by the article is that as people age they slow down which is why the Tyson Paul fight Jake Paul is given the edge. Moving slower and not changing your diet will cause a person to gain weight. Those are 4 major things working against someone staying thin. Blaming the spouse or partner though is a bullshit excuse. I'm the reason I put on weight. |

I bought size 32 pants so that I could comfortably carry a sidearm. 4 hours a week of MMA and several days of running, and I’ve had to drill 2 new holes in my belt and can now my zipped and buttoned pants straight down even wearing a gun.
I still feel fat though. |

Moving slower and not changing your diet will cause a person to gain weight. Blaming the spouse or partner though is a bullshit excuse. I'm the reason I put on weight. Thing is you don't have to work out or go to the gym to lose/maintain weight which is why I kind of squint when people throw in work life and kids. Parents of the pre-obese era didn't seem to have a problem staying thin ............ but that was a time when fast food was a treat and not part of the food pyramid. From the childs perspective it's not entirely bullshit to blame a spouse as children are fed what the parents prefer or are accomodated with whatever crap food they want. The chances of an obese child is much higher if the parents are obese, especially the mother. It's a conditioned environment and unfortunately a lifestyle the children will likely never change as they age. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ManiacRat: Pregnant has turned into an excuse to eat like an elephant for a lot of women. My wife I hates when she hears the "I'm eating for two" BS. She gain a bit after kids, but not a ton. When I say a bit, I mean like 10-15 lbs. During pregnancy, a woman's ovaries and placenta release a hormone called relaxin that loosens muscles and ligaments and prepares the body for childbirth. So, those hips don't sit at the same place they were prior to pregnancy. |

Over 60 lbs mainly through self control and eating much healthier food - same exercise routine. |

If you marry a woman that is already into health and fitness (and not just for attraction purposes) there shouldn't ever be an issue. That means you need to be into health and fitness as well to feed off each other and keep the motivation high.
If someone is depressed for some reason though the overeating, laziness, and weight gain can definitely creep in. |

No, it's the Patriarchy!
..or racism, or misogyny or something other that her fault. Funny thing is a woman worked with had a kid and within a few months was skinny again, one of the other woman semi jokingly called her a skinny bitch. |

That's a good reason not to put the wife on a pedestal and stay in good shape yourself.
If she's comfortable getting fat and unhealthy. It means she doesn't envision a situation where you could leave her for someone better. It sounds bad to say but the dread that comes with the idea that your partner can do better if you let yourself go. Is powerful motivation to put in the effort. It's also why many of the wives who get fat also stop having sex with their husbands. You aren't going anywhere so she doesn't have to give you a reason to stay. |

Hmmm, if I were King, I think I'd make a law that before a divorce will be awarded both parties will have to get within 5-10% of their marriage bodyweight (or within 5% of bodyfat level) and then live together another month after that. |

It's an excuse, and nothing more. I get it, dieting can suck. I let myself go a bit to size 34 before I got disgusted with myself... now back to 32" or even lower. 2 inches doesn't sound like much, but all around your midsection, it's a lot. |

She’s also had 8 children since then. Breastfeeding for a year or so really takes off the weight. Genetics are a thing too. |
