Love Expands Your Horizons
Does it expand your waistline too?
I don't really like my brother's girlfriend, so I don't feel sorry for her — at all.
However, when I think about my own roller coaster weight, I notice a pattern. When it has been up, I have been in a relationship, and overall, I was thinner when I was single. What's the deal with that?
Perhaps, I had more time when I was single to work out because my focus wasn't on another person — it was completely on me. My brother's girlfriend says the pounds started showing up because my brother likes to eat late at night. I have to agree: it's hard to resist when your partner orders the naughty treats that you only dream of indulging in.
So, can a relationship actually make you gain weight? I think it definitely can. When another person enters your life, the routine you have established is thrown out of whack, though this is not necessarily a bad thing.
Change is inevitable — and makes us stronger as individuals — but I want to know: How do you maintain a healthy figure and a healthy relationship?
I Go reverse and lose weight when I'm 'in'
Every time I'm "into" someone I go reverse from you and drop the pounds . If I could ever package the stuff that kills your apetite after a break-up , I'd be a zillionaire. J
It's hard when you are
It's hard when you are comfortable in a relationship- and it's wonderful, but a healthy relationship to me goes with a healthy lifestyle. It can be something as easy as working out together, or setting time aside to work out alone. That can be beneficial as well.
