Very often our body weight grows in proportion to our affection towards our partners. Couples do not look as stunning, after a few months, as they did when they first fell in love. With time the calories lost are often gained back. And then there is the bad break-up, which wreaks havoc. In such situations, food either becomes your best friend or your worst enemy.
It’s all right to lose a few kilos in the first few weeks of a new relationship. After all, you have to look attractive for the new partner! But all does not remain well in blissville.
Skipping gym sessions, indulging in bags of chips and butter popcorn over Friday movie nights, and those large scoops of ice cream start to take a toll. The trouble begins when one feels that it is no longer necessary to impress. Before you know it the multiple slips have caused you to pile on the. You may begin to feel self-conscious about your body which in turn might lead to lowered self-esteem.
But its never too late to fix the problem and there’s always a way to remain healthy. For one, give the dinner dates a miss and plan something more active like skating, or going to a gym, which are also great ways to bond. Pay attention to the food and drinks consumed. And never think it’s all right to get fat just because your partner loves you.
Team effort always pays off: couples that promise to improve their eating and exercising habits will succeed in enjoying a healthy lifestyle. And there will always be exceptions like M.A. student Pratidhani Tamang who says, “I always eat, no matter what!”
