The journey from a proud Miss Perfect 10 in her wedding dress to a carefree Mrs. Fat Auntie really isn’t long. The whole makeover only takes twelve months. It is a proven fact that women put on weight after marriage and the process is so fast that it becomes apparent to people around you as well. But trust me! You are not as upset as you were before marriage. In fact you are really satisfied with the idea that you don’t need to leave your bed early in the morning to exercise or sacrifice your favorite dessert to reduce calorie intake. Though you have grown from a size 10 to a 14 and then to an 18, post marriage you just want to let yourself go. Still, you don’t really like the idea of someone calling you Mrs. Fat Auntie, do you?
General! Marriage does not mean that you no longer need to look attractive. In fact, your looks matter a lot in keeping the electric attraction going and keeping your man glued to you. Now, do I have to give reasons for the statement?
Mrs. Fat Auntie Miss Perfect 10
So let’s find out the factors that change your waistline from 10 to 18 within 6 to 12 months of marriage.
o You think you have found a partner for life, there is no need to attract him anymore.
You must tell your husband that you are a good cook.
o You give priority to the choice of the family and cook for them.
o You eat as much as your partner, while talking and chewing!
o You eat leftovers, trying not to waste food.
o Your partner encourages you to eat more by showing that your excess fat will not frustrate him.
o You want to find unconditional love, are not happy in marriage, feel humiliated, rejected and unloved.
o pregnancy occurs
Think about it…
The secure feeling you get from marriage is doing the work of the devil….that’s why you are gaining weight. Since you no longer have to attract a partner, you stop taking care of yourself. When the marriage is over (God forbid!) and you come out of the palace of your dreams, you look in the mirror and scream, “Oh my God!! What have I done to myself!! Look at me.. .I don’t know’ I don’t know the woman in the mirror”. So, you decide to lose your extra weight, it’s time to look for another partner! But why should your broken marriage be your only motivation to stay in good shape? Be practical and don’t waste what could be a lifetime asset, your pursuit of a good figure will also give you a good healthy lifestyle.
Cook food to make your husband happy, it’s really cool! But if you don’t want to see your waistline grow, you shouldn’t be turning to the fattiest foods and creamiest desserts every day. And please let me tell you…you should eat as per your body requirement. Not as much as your husband is eating, his body is bigger than yours so he needs more than you. As a woman you have a tendency to please others and as a result of your maternal instincts you put the needs of others before your own. do not do it. You can set an example for them by having a good diet and a healthy lifestyle. They will understand and become co-operative. Then again, you don’t like having uneaten food left on the plates because you have been taught to finish your food. So don’t serve food when it is not needed otherwise you know it might get wasted.
The next reason for your increasing waistline may be that your husband is encouraging you to eat more, so that you will not look attractive and he will be less competitive. Don’t succumb to her insecurities, take her along in your weight loss program and make her understand that you too want to see her in shape and in good health.
Another reason is unhappy married life, studies show that couples who are happy tend to be fitter than those who are not. The reason behind this is that you tend to focus more on food and find comfort in eating and cooking whatever you feel like suppressing your depression and frustration. Oh, for God’s sake, change the idea of overeating!! This will only lead to more depression in the long run.
And finally when pregnancy is knocking at the door, you tend to overeat during pregnancy and become overly inactive, believing that you need to eat much more than you actually do and Plus you slow down and rest more than you need to. And during this sudden craving for special food items increases the problem manifold. Once you give birth to a child, you stay at home and put the needs of your baby and family ahead of your own. Keep a close eye on your increasing weight during this period. If your fat increases excessively, there may be complications during the birth of your baby. Do light exercise as per doctor’s advice and eat healthy but do not overeat.
Stay fit for a successful married life ahead…
Life changes after marriage, you become more loved, more cared for and more secure than ever before. The first 12 months are the preparatory months for your marriage. do not let it go. Staying fit will give you the confidence to lay the foundation for your marriage and keep you attractive to your husband. If you gain weight, you are only setting yourself up for trouble in the future.
