What is the correlation between getting married and getting fatter? And does it equally affect men and women?
April 17, 2012 6:23 pm at 6:23 pm #868140mewhoParticipantu do your best to stay slim all your teen years and look good. the minute that ring goes on your finger you get to exhale 50 pounds.lol
April 17, 2012 6:53 pm at 6:53 pm #868141bptParticipantI put on about 30 lbs since I got married. But to be fair, when I got married, I was barely out of my teens, so my current weight is that of an average adult.

But honestly, ladies, if you don’t want your husbands getting fat, just don’t feed them!

April 18, 2012 12:45 am at 12:45 am #868146MorahRachMemberI see it more in men. How about men gaining weight during wife’s pregnancy??
April 18, 2012 1:14 am at 1:14 am #868147cheftzeMemberIt’s typically an issue of the wife picking up additional weight with each pregnancy, and keeping it thereafter.
April 18, 2012 2:49 am at 2:49 am #868148writersoulParticipantTo be fair, I’ve seen it affect both. However, one person I’m basing this on is a naturally skinny lady who is a REALLY good cook, so I probably shouldn’t judge her husband :).
April 18, 2012 9:04 am at 9:04 am #868149I myself added about 10-15 kg (circa 30 lbs) since getting married (4.5 years ago). At the moment I’m at around 85 kg (187 lbs), which is WAY too much – I’m striving to get back to at least something like 75 kg (165 lbs), which should be ok.

My wife will testify that I am the same mass now as when we got married about 8 years ago.
April 18, 2012 4:40 pm at 4:40 pm #868151SaysMeMemberall my siblings lost weight after marriage, some a nice amount too! Even after pregnancy, though some gained a few pounds back, they’re still much thinner than when single. One sister actually loses weight with every birth, lucky her!
April 18, 2012 5:07 pm at 5:07 pm #868152HealthParticipantNbrg – I got fatter after marriage at least 50 lbs., but I still didn’t catch up to my wife. (:0

Some yeshivas maybe DO point it out, but in the yeshivas where I learned, rabbeim would perhaps talk about the isurrim of over-indulgence in physical pleasures and the mitzvas asei of watching one’s health, but not in context of the mitzvos itself. It wasn’t a shmooze by itself. It wasn’t a shmooze on health, weight issues, unhealthy lifestyles, mindsets, excercise, and how gross it is to be fat. Truth is (almost) all of my rabbeim were fat! So there you go…
sigh….thank G-D for my mom….

April 19, 2012 1:36 am at 1:36 am #868156ToiParticipantWhen you get married, you get fatter. regardless of gender.
April 19, 2012 2:11 am at 2:11 am #868157squeakParticipantNo, when you get older you get fatter, regardless of gender. Obviously it is possible to avoid this natural change, but most people go along with it.
April 19, 2012 2:26 am at 2:26 am #868158CsarMemberWhy should someone avoid becoming heavier with age? Is it healthier to beat that natural phenomina?
