When I was looking for love, i was in good shape, I found love and low and behold, let the pounds begin, I lost my love and back on the road to fit..So I ask of you, was it laziness on my part or was it loves fault.. Hmm, If i stay single will I remain fit?

    When you meet someone you get so wrapped up in them. It hsppens! Just keep your focus on yourself first next time.

    I think there is that level of comfort that everyone falls into. When I met my husband I was already in the process of losing weight. I countinued to do so and remained focused. I even manage to maintine a good weight through both of my pregnancies. I was very over weight and I always have the fear of putting the weight back on, and I wouldn't let anything or anyone derail me from that plan. Now that we are separated exercise is my go to. Helps me relieve stress and stay sane! Love can make us blind to certain things but we can always set clear goals and remain focused!

    It was love that made me get into shape. I wanted to look good for my partner and I wanted him to be healthy too. Now the love died but I still think we should nurture what our partners enjoy. So was it the love or did you choose to spend time with her instead of the gym? Best of luck in your search :)

    I was so focused on us I lost sight of me and lost it all in the end.. Back on track, liking who I am and becoming what I want to be!

    It was probably busyness. Now that I'm engaged I have a lot of *kitten* going on and it interferes with things like fitness. However on that note I didn't get into fitness until my significant other did or well started constantly talking about it anyways. I think maybe if fitness and healthy eating were a priority for your love you would have worked on both together.

    Women crush mens goals... This is no surprise.

    He has it all right here... Never loose who you are, even in Love, (just a chemical response to dopamine in your brain) So like most addicts, nothing matter by that High.....

    I used to be a workout machine. boxing, military etc. When I married she was a psycho who thought me working out made her insecure because 1- i wasnt spending time with her (she never wanted to hike etc) 2- that i must be trying to look good for someone else!....Needless to say I ended up stopping working out to appease her and lbs piled on. gross.

    This should be the motto for all who are in a a relationship.

    Are there more people like you out there somewhere, and where can I find them. :)

    Eating too much without sufficient exercise made you fat, those are life choices.
    You made a choice to slack off and get complacent.
    Same thing almost happened to me until I realized it.

    I gained weight in my last relationship. He was the type that eat whatever and stayed skinny. I wasn't. I also had a lot of stress going on. I started working on getting back in shape for myself and him, and had lost about 30 pounds ... when I lost another 160 ... I still lost the guy. Nothing to do with my weight loss or gain. Just the breaks.
