Does your SO's eating habits rub off on you?

[Nola Darling]

Last year I moved in with my SO and I gained weight. We moved back to our native city to get ourselves together and we aren't living together anymore. Now I'm losing that weight.

I've noticed that in college I was heavier when I spent a lot of time with him, but when he graduated and he wasn't around I was thinner! WTH!

Does your SO's eating habits rub off on you? Do you let your self go a little when you are booed up? How do you fight it?

My senior year. My ex is 6'1 and 210 and I used to sit there and eat with him....like him all the time. I soon packed on the pounds. Now that we arent together anymore I am starting to shed the pounds.

i'm now fighting to lose that plus more...

Nope. He doesn't eat all day and then goes bezerk after 7. I eat 4-5 small meals every day. I sit down and eat and unless we are eating dinner, he eats standing up hovering over the sink or walking around the house

Yep, we have both gained weight! I'm going back to my old ways though. DH loves meat, red meat-pork while I was not brought up that way, never been a big meat eater. I slipped into the carnivore category and I am paying for it big time! I'm doing much better though, waaaay down on my meat intake.

I am tiny but yes when I am around my SO, I eat more. I am never hungry! lol

I've always heard that when you get married, you get happy and plump. So I guess the same applies for when you even live together

Nope. I promised myself before my last relationship that I was going to stick to my eating/exercise regimen whether I was coupled or not and I did. It's SO easy to skip a workout here or eat an extra roll there, and before you know it, you're 10 lbs heavier and confused.

I put myself on a schedule and forced myself to stick to it. I knew I needed to do it for ME, but I also didn't want to be one of those women who let herself go and got comfortable. Men like women who keep themsevles up.

My good eating habits rubbed off on him. Even though we're no longer together, he still eats better than he did before and is more open to trying natural/organic foods.

No. I've seen my man eat weird food like pig ears, balut (you don't want to know), and chicken balls. No way am I touching that. I do all of the cooking but and my weight doesn't change. Both of us want to eat healthier but I just get lazy sometimes.

I have seen too many of my friends/family blow up like a balloon after meeting their SO, going out to eat all the time, and just getting comfy w/eachother. I'm too anal and weight conscious and I refuse to let that happen to me.

As much as I love to eat, its one of my fave activities, I make it clear from the jump of what type of food I eat, and how I feel about nutrition. Just like I don't want to see my BF start to grow a belly, I don't want one either.

I like food too. I've never gained weight with any of my relationships. Maybe people just don't care and let themselves go. I don't know what it is but it's never happened to me and I'm never just going to stop caring and let myself go.

 

[MissMeWithThatIsh]

Yea it has and we both gained weight.
Now he failed his annual PT test and now we're losing it together.

 

[princessnad]

Yeah, I start eating out and stuff. But it's never more than 5 pounds or so and when I realize, I lose it back.

I distinctly remember with my first real boyfriend...when I was 19...how much weight i gained when we were together. He wasn't working out much , which made him skinny, and neither was I, which made ME fat. I remember when we broke up and I looked in the mirror. I said I'd never let that happen again.

Those double dinners and feeding each other nachos in the movies'll do it to ya....
