Weighty Relationships?

TheCatWoman

One of the things I've noticed over the years is how my weight changes when I'm in a relationship compared to when I'm not. When I'm single I seem to naturally lose weight and then stick at about a size 14-16, which is about right for my height and build etc, however when I'm in a relationship my weight steadily increases and the biggest I've been was size 22-24. I don't think its about eating either, as I eat the same, exercise the same, I think its psychological. I think I feel invaded in some way, and my place in the world less, so I have to physically take up more space, until the relationship ends and I go back to my normal size.

Whilst I realise it happens, I don't really understand it, do others have a similar thing?

  • I had a problem with weight during my last long-term relationship because my partner was very active and I couldn't resist eating when we shared our meals. When the relationship ended, I went down from size 22 to size 12-14 over a couple of years and that's where I stay. It was more the inability to control my eating when there was plenty of tempting food in the house.
