It seems that if you have lived with a man for more than a year, your weight is 63% likely to go up versus a single lady. After you get married, both of you are 230% more likely to end up packing on the pounds! I&#8217;m wondering what causes this and how to combat it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Possible causes?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Matching Portions &#8211; If he dishes out your dinner, then you might be getting way too many calories for your body.<\/li>\n<li> Not out to impress &#8211; Once you&#8217;ve snagged that man, you don&#8217;t have to worry about your appearance.<\/li>\n<li> Skip the gym &#8211; If there is someone waiting for you at home, you don&#8217;t want to waste time at the gym!<\/li>\n<li>Shared Desserts &#8211; Maybe you eat out more often and order appetizers and desserts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Fixes!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Start a gym regimen together &#8211; With the DVR invention, there are very few reasons to rush home at the end of the day. Meet at the gym or take a walk and catch up while burning calories.<\/li>\n<li> Fix your own plate with smaller portions &#8211; Even if he cooks dinner, make sure you dish your own portion so that you can make sure not to over-size your meal.<\/li>\n<li>Why aren&#8217;t you out to impress? &#8211; Just because you don&#8217;t have to look great on that first date, doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t put forth some effort. It&#8217;s always nice to turn heads.<\/li>\n<li>TV timer rule &#8211; If you find that you both park it on the couch every night, then set a rule for how many hours a week you can be in front of the TV. It will make you more selective on your programming choices (and you&#8217;ll have time for exercise).<\/li>\n<li>Split It &#8211; When you eat out, you can split an appetizer and an entree for fewer calories and dollars. You&#8217;ll end up with plenty of food but if you need more you can add a salad or broth-based soup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished reading a Time Magazine article (First Comes Love, Then Comes Obesity, July 6, 2009) about how women living with men have a higher rate of obesity than those that don&#8217;t.
