'Love is a weighty thing for girls'

perhaps!hehehe i am not very sure though because most of those that are discussed in the article are those things that i have not experienced yet.. like getting married and being pregnant!hehe but i did notice that these stages are true for some women, some though was able to maintain their figure all throught out the stages.. maybe iit's case to case basis, but then most of the girls go through the stages!:)

Yup.. I believe it's true and i have seen it happen for so many times.. lol =D And that applies to man for sure too.. haha =D But man only goes thru 2 stages as compared to woman ^_^ For guys, they will only stay trim or thin when they are single, or courting the gal they like, but after that, during courtship to marriage, the love between them grows as well as his pouch.. lol =D And that's a symbol of happily in love, thus they can eat more without any worries.. lol =D

I think I agree with the article. Women does go through such stages but I won't say all of them. As some just starts dressing up for their man rather going for a weight loss regime. And some Enter in a relationship only when they get comfortable with that guy. And yes they do try to loose before marriage of course who wouldn't want to look good on their wedding day? Almost 90 percent of women gain weight after becoming a mother (and during there pregnancy) So you just can't help it.(well again that's my view) But As I have seen most of the old ladies here in India who are in their 50s of 60s are much healthier, I should not say healthier because being fat ain't healthy at all.

I agree that we tend to put on weight when we are comfortable, but I think there are those that gain weight when they are stressed or in an uncomfortable relationship too. It depends so much on the person and their health, genes, etc I think. Also it think it is true that we all try hard to lose weight if we are "looking" for a new love or for a wedding for sure. That makes sense too.

I've always heard that people will gain weight when they get married, I know I gained about 30 lbs. after we got married, so now I've been working on losing it, I've lost 20 so far. My husband gained weight also since we've been married, I don't know if its because he's just comfortable or if its my good cooking...

Yes I do agree with that in away. But I didn't shed pounds to impress him it just happened and then it came back. ouch As for getting married that part no. I lost weight and now I need to loose weight and I hate that. But hey have to do something everyday right. . So I'm back to loosing again. So there you have it. I didn't gain alot of weight when I was PG. so I wouldn't know about that one. Oh yes men put on weight unless there woman don't cook and they do they still put on wieght. Food got to love it keeps your mouth shut for one. Your friend onlydia

I believe this is probably true. I guess I did go through many of these in my marriage. I see men going through two phases usually, one where they impress the woman and one where they gain the weight. They don't usually care too much one way or the other.

Oh it is something news to me. but why only women. I think all goes through thes ethings in life

Hmmm, I can see a shade of truth on that article. But I really can't speak for all women out there, so I'll be speaking in behalf of myself. LOL! Yeah, I remember shedding a few pounds and maintaining a good figure during my college days with my ex-bfs. I don't remember gaining back those pounds though when i get comfy with the relationship. That's why when I got married, I didn't really need to lose a pound or two. Now, after 5 years, I'm pregnant of my first baby and yes, I gained a LOT! And I promise to shed off these tons of fats after giving birth LOL! I'm not sure if the article applied to men as well. As men has this fast metabolism and they find it easier to maintain a good shape than women. But you're right though, men have this tendency to get fat after marriage and I attribute it to a woman's good cooking! Hahaha!

Hi marina, Yes I think men do but my husband kept his weight down as he is into cycling, he is 49 and he is very slim but I am a stone over weight, but then again I have always been like that and I have no children. Tamara

Hi marina, I think that parts of this statement are true. I do know that women tend to lose weight at the start of a relationship. And then as they get more comfortable they seem to gain weight. I have never been married but I have gone through the ups and downs of the weight gain game. I also have never had any children so that also wouldn't apply to me. I have seen it in some of my friends. And it does seem to be true. As for losing weight when you get older. I don't know about that exactly. Most of my friends have put on the pounds as they have aged and kept on putting on the pounds. I myself have been a yo-yo with my weight. I have lost some and tried to keep it off and have managed to keep quite a bit of it off through the years. But I do tend to go up and down. When I see myself gaining I get upset and I have trouble losing it again. When I am content I will over eat. I think that something I see in alot of women that are older.

In my opinion , love is a weighty thing for everyone,but for a girl , she shouldn't put all energy on her love , who had better have herself work , friends .Once she loses her love , who can face with a great grief.Losing weight is a way of becoming prettier not for a man.

I think that the points is right .such as my wife ,when my wife was a young girl ,one time i said to her that you were so heavy that i could hold you up.Since i had said those word ,my wife begun to lose her weight everday.She reduced her breakfast and dinner in order to be silmy still this time.
