I'd been staying with my folks leading up to the wedding, and putting up with the fat abuse every day, so once Spouse and I were on our own, I probably did pig out some. (Here's another memory--my mom taking the cake plate away from me after I'd had the one token bite. Because "You didn't need to stuff your face with cake, Porketta". On my wedding day.) No wonder I gained some weight right after I got married, huh?

I gained weight while cohabitating, and have lost 11 pounds (maybe more, as my pants are looser today) since becoming an "honest woman." (What a terrible expression. Also, I lie just as much now as I did when living in sin, so it is inaccurate as well.) I probably will never weigh what I did when I was single, but that is because it is harder for me to engage in self-destructive, unhealthy, eating (or, rather, non-eating) disordered behavior when I am sitting across the table from someone who would notice if I pushed food around my plate. Also, I want to be strong, healthy, and energetic (which I was not when I was underweight) so I can do fun things with my partner for many years to come. Hmm.

My husband does a lot of our cooking, and although he cooks healthily, he has a lot of difficulty not serving me as much as he serves himself. (He knows this, and we're watching it!) Neither of us has experienced the weight-gain thing, but we've only been married 18 months. I will say that I never baked before we were married (we got a mixer as a wedding present), but then we lived in a house where snack food was more readily available, so I think it cancels out.

Married men and married women both gained 6 more pounds than their cohabitating counterparts. Cohabitating women gained 3 more pounds than the single women, but the cohabitating men and single men didn't differ. The fact that cohabitators were more like single people than married people suggests that more is going on here than just the changes in eating patterns that come with living together.
