Marriage and Divorce can lead to weight gain..

[Dreamer]

It probably isn't news, but interesting to see science backing it up...

BBC News - Marriage and divorce 'up weight', says study

Marriage, divorce, death, children..... the list can go on and on. I think I'm with the majority. Eat when happy, eat when sad and then anytime in between!

The obvious answer is; don't get married and don't have kids

I dunno, since I seperated from my ex last year I have lost over 4 1/2 stone... I suppose any major life change can impact on weight

Separation helped me lose weight , I don't eat when stressed! Everyone different I suppose x

81lbs lost 15lbs to go!

Since living with oh and having lo I've put on all the weight. I was at the high end of healthy bmi when I met oh. Bloody men!!

Anything slightly stressful makes me eat. Comfort eating is definitely my vice.

Don't get married then you won't get divorced....and won't put on the weight.....although what is that joke about divorcing and loosing 12st of unwanted fat...it's called the husband!!!.....all a bit synical though....I'm sure just as many of us put on weight when we first meet 'the one' because we are so happy.....some of us are just built that way......I am happy to eat for any mood!

What about other people's divorces... My parents have just announced a split after 36 years of marriage, wonder what'll happen to my diet..

You can choose to comfort eat and feel better for a min or two or you can choose that you WILL be the weight you want and use the cr*p as a motivation to get there.

hmmmm i got married 3 weeks ago and well so far so good , apart from the holiday lol.. but i guess its about having balance, there are lots of distractions in life its about choosing the right decisions.

One reason why women put weight on in the first year of marriage is that they match their portion sizes with those of their husband.
