    I hear that miserable crack addicts generally don't have weight problems.
    What about happy crack addicts?


    Aren't they models?

    LMAO!

    As long as you're doing it for YOURSELF. One other poster was right, a lot of women are hooked up with jerks.

    Happened to me too. My husband and I both gained 40 pounds when we go together. Going away to college didn't help either. Good luck with your journey. :)

    My BF is an excellent cook and takes me out alot, so more like I LET IT HAPPEN TO ME.
    Regained 30lbs last year - of happy relationship weight. I get it.
    Back down 5 lbs now - you can do it!

    I've been with my wife for 13 years, and before joining MFP, I'd put on somewhere between 3 & 4 stone (20-25kg) over the course of the relationship, most of which was between getting married in 04, and moving in 08.

    I think it's just a natural part of being in a relationship, until you notice that it's happening, and start doing something about it.

    Good luck on your journey!

    Right there with ya. I guess the key here is to just be thankful that we're in happy relationships :smile:

    I must be the only weirdo that loses weight and gets more fit when I'm in a relationship.
    I was in the best shape of my life when I went through my last breakup. We had been together for around 5 years.

    I'm glad your boyfriend makes you happy and I'm sure he loves you just the way you are. My son married a girl who also has put on a lot of weight since they met/married. He still loves her like she's a size 5/7! You are both blessed to be loved that way. But I know that despite what my husband says, I know when I need to lose weight. I don't feel good about myself no matter what he or my friends say. So I'm losing (again). I would love to support you in whatever way you need. We are just better people when we are comfortable with ourselves.

    ooohh i hear ya girl. i packed on 40-50lbs over 2 years. eating the same portions, and food as my guy while playing video games & being blissfully happy.

    i halved the portions, and got my guy to get healthier too, and we go to the gym and he's my spotter for weights.

    kind of awesome how our lives have turned around. i'll go ahead & thank myself. :P

    My husband says that if I hit the 300 mark(pointing at particulary obese woman), love don't live here no more so you better watch it. Glad you are getting back on track too before he starts looking at women that look like you once did, lol.

    OP.... stop with your excuses. your boyfriend didnt do crap to you. You shoved the excess food into your piehole by choice. Stop making excuses, take action.

    Yes happy relationships can get you too...lol

    They say that being in a relationship, especially happy ones can attribute to weight gain..alot of times esp. if you live together we as women eat more because of looking at their plate and/or making theirs..lol..single women have an easier time keeping the weight down because it's only thier diet they are concerned with. When me and my husband met I was 140, after our first child, I got up to 200 and recently hit the 212 mark. SO i decided EVERYONE in the house was going to be eating healthier and I have him make his own plate. So far so good! I wish you good luck on your weight loss journey, glad you have a supportive boyfriend it makes all the difference having a cheerleader :0)

    Good grief. I don't think she's really blaming him as much as coming up with a catchy title to explain how she gained weight being in a happy relationship.

    Be nice and jog on.

    He didnt do it to you! Its genetics!

    It's not genetics, it's eating too much.

    It's also not your boyfriend who did it, it's you.

    Woooaaahhh.

    I think when the OP says "look what he did to me" - she's joking....?

    I always say to my boyfriend "it's your fault I'm fat" but I'm obviously kidding...I know it's my fault that I gained weight.

    This needs to be taken in good humour I think.

    A comfortable relationship often leads to joint weight-gain. My husband and I became overweight from just having ridiculously fun gaming nights at home and snacking on all manner of unhealthy foods. So people can stick their judgment up their rear; she posted in jest and I'm sure most of you know that.

    Feel free to add me as friend. Together, we shall smite the males who made us fatties. ;)

    I'm sure there's many people on here who have put on "happy relationship" weight.
    Hey, i'm one too. Over 100lbs to be exact.
    So here i am, ready to lose it.
    We want a long and hapy life together, and that means taking action.
    Always looking for friends, and i'm a very active member,
    Bearing in mind the first picture is when we met, the second is now :'(
    xx

    I've never thought of it, but perhaps I am a victim of this too lol. Anywho, feel free to add me!
