"I know studies have shown that if you&amp;#x27;re in a relationship, you might gain weight, but I refuse to validate that claim. Unfortunately, at the moment, I am. I&amp;#x27;ve gained weight (7 pounds, but who&amp;#x27;s counting?) since getting married in November, and people tell me it&amp;#x27;s because I&amp;#x27;m &amp;quot;happy.&amp;quot; Drew&amp;#x27;s gained weight too, so I&amp;#x27;m not alone. We need help! How do you avoid gaining &amp;quot;happy weight?&amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m not sure exactly how we&amp;#x27;ve gained weight because we&amp;#x27;re not necessarily eating unhealthy foods just because we&amp;#x27;re married. I&amp;#x27;ll admit that I&amp;#x27;ve been a bit lazy when it comes to the gym and so has Drew, but thanks to my &amp;quot;September&amp;quot; resolutions, I&amp;#x27;m back at it. Ah, the start of my &amp;quot;happy weight&amp;quot; gain: crepes in Paris for our honeymoon. I do have one theory for why the number on the scale is going up : Some nights when we haven&amp;#x27;t gone food shopping, we&amp;#x27;ll just eat whatever we can find in the kitchen, and even though they&amp;#x27;re not unhealthy foods, they&amp;#x27;re not necessarily nutritious either. Because I&amp;#x27;m so happy, I don&amp;#x27;t really care if I&amp;#x27;m eating a &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; dinner, but I bet I&amp;#x27;d be cranky eating pretzels and hummus as my meal if I wasn&amp;#x27;t in such a good place. I think I should start cooking more so that I know exactly what we&amp;#x27;re eating instead of ordering in, or eating random non-dinner dinners, like hummus and pretzels or cheese and crackers. Maybe that&amp;#x27;s the solution? I just would like to fit into all of my jeans again...I could wear them last fall, pre-wedding, and now, not so much. I guess I should learn how to dress myself so I look 10 pounds thinner...until I actually am! Do you have the same problem? Have you gained weight since being in a good relationship? How do you combat &amp;quot;happy weight?&amp;quot; P.S. What was your weight-loss kick-in-the-pants moment? Have you ever worked out with your guy? And would you tell your man he&amp;#x27;s getting pudgy? More Ways to Get Glamour You could win $50,000 just for registering or logging in to Glamour.com!
