Two and a half years ago, Virginia Ng had eating habits a dietitian would be proud of. The 25-year-old public relations professional from Seattle cooked up healthful veggie stir-fries every night and rarely ate dessert. She also exercised regularly, mixing up her routine with aerobics, jogging and weight training. She was the picture of good health.
That was then. These days, Ng isn't nearly as careful with her diet and physical fitness; not surprisingly, she is 25 pounds heavier. What's her explanation for the healthy-living downturn? Finding a boyfriend. "I seem to get into a mental and physical rut when I'm in relationships," says Ng.
We've all heard women lament the fact that a relationship can mean a bigger dress size. Now science adds credibility to their complaints. A Cornell University study of 1,980 married people found that women are more prone to gaining weight during the first year of marriage than men.

LOL I go for walks, etc. with hubby, but I do not allow him to see me working out! All that sweating, huffing and puffing, with my hair all sticking up and/or falling in my eyes - not sexy.
Yes, they say even Michael Moore(ugh) has checked into a fat farm out west. Man, he must have a BIG room!
"trubluOLYguy..no beer in that diet?"
Nope...I don't drink. The handle was given to me years ago by a former girlfriend...trublu=truly blunt olyguy=Olympia (the city)and my gender.
LOL I guess this is why women gain weight after marriage.
"Is love making you fat?"
Here I thought it was all the Skittles and Snickers. Well, live & learn.
Correction: Mr. Moore has checked in at a fat farm in FL.
I wonder when he last saw his toes?
Boy, when he sits around the house, he sits around the house!
When he goes to the beach, people try to push him back into the water!
OK, OK. I'll keep my day job.
I'm gonna have to call BullPoop on this one. I know that if I run for 20 minutes I've burned about half of a ritz cracker
"1 hr. intensive foreplay burns off: 1 slice (large) chocolate cake"
1 hour! 1 hour! Don't these people have jobs? Who can spare an hour for that?
It is BP - straight from strangecosmos.com.
Oh, and please forgive me. ;-)
Ahhh, I assumed Oly = Olympia the beer as opposed to the city.
(< Pet peeve > You do not have a gender. You have a sex. Only words or inanimate objects have genders. Living things have sexes. < /pet peeve>)
LOL! Most excellent retort. :o)
Some days I'm not sure she realizes all I do. She's terrific and I'm immensely happy to be part of her family, a little appreciation and acknowledgement would be nice from time to time.
Can sure understand that.
Sounds like you both are pretty blessed. Good for you. ;-)
You sound like a great person.
Thank You. I try my best:-)
