Anyone ever start dating someone and felt comfortable & you started gaining weight?

oh yeah, relationships always cause weight gain at the start unless yr both working hard against that! dating.... drinking, eating at restaurants... yup.

I gained quite a bit of weight when my BF (now husband) and I started living together. I think it was mainly because I fell into habits of cooking things I knew he enjoyed, rather than what was healthy. I also started eating bigger portions (because he was). I also gained more after we got married. In general we were both just comfortable with eachother and that lead to generally poor eating habits.

Now we're both working to lose weight together as a common goal.

Oh my goodness, our honeymoon... and the two months following... waaaaaay too comfortable. Part of the reason I'm back here working my tail off.

Happened to me. It sucked but I'm on my way back to a even better version of myself so it's cool.

Dating? Try 20 years of marriage!

It's pretty natural, really; when you're single, you can eat a salad for dinner or something and it's fine, but when you've got a relationship (and then a family) you Make A Real Dinner no matter what. Then time passes, metabolism changes, kid/s come, there are snacks in the house, metabolism changes some more, there's ice cream in the fridge, you've got a job and a family and it's hard to fit in the exercise (because it's not like you're going to the gym after work, you have to pick up the kid etc etc) ...

Even if you don't have horrible eating habits, it's easy for the weight to start adding up.

I think it's quite common. You eat out more, or stay at home with a bottle of wine and a takeaway, or watch movies with snacks or whatever. I think a lot of women get caught out by portion matching a taller, heavier male partner, without thinking about it. That caught me with my ex. Or he would cook and automatically dish up what he would eat as a portion, which was probably another half on top of what I would have served myself.

Oh good lord this is me. When I started actually dating my guy I lost weight like crazy(we worked on my families ranch and ate nothing but garden produce and hard boiled eggs for a month plus). Then we got super comfy with each other and both gained weight when I started cooking dinner for us. Movies with soda and cheese trays. Apple cider and ice cream for dessert. Glad it's not just us.

Yes, my SO He's put on 30 lbs since we met. Kind of ironic considering he's the cook. He says it's because he's happy.

Yep, I think this is normal. Instead of going out all the time, I get complacent in a happy relationship and start spending evenings curled up on the sofa watching movies and eating popcorn. Bam, weight gain.

Have you asked your fiance if he would join a healthy eating or workout program with you? It helps if you do it together, sometimes.

Yep! IT happened to me every time I got into a relationship;and this relationship I'm in now (planning to get married in Aug) has been the worst of them all. But, on the positive side, he loves me the same, and still tells me that I am beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; lose weight to be and stay healthy. It's long over due for our society to kick the habit of us trying to configure to a small select few standards. Be your own person and love who you are=) Keep up the good work

Fell in love, gained 20 pounds. Broke up, gained 20 more.

After a few months my and my boyfriend made the decision to both cut out the junk that we eat together - me for my weight and him as he has digestive issues. Now we are both happy and sexy (or healthy you know, whatever)
