Why Women Start Gaining Weight in Relationships: 4 Main Reasons
30.10.2024 14:46
Many women gain a lot of weight after they get into a relationship.
It would seem that the reason is obvious: the lifestyle has changed, and with the cozy evenings spent on the couch hugging tasty treats came the extra pounds.
But sometimes changes in appearance occur for psychosomatic reasons.
Lack of a sense of security
The girl perceives excess weight as a kind of "shelter" that helps protect and save her. In such a situation, one should work on restoring internal support and learn to trust the world again.
Research shows that experiencing violence increases the likelihood of becoming overweight. Psychologists suggest that this is the body's unconscious attempt to become inconspicuous and unsexy in order to avoid a repeat of the situation.
Abusive relationships in the family can have a similar effect.
Doubts about one's own attractiveness
When such doubts arise, compensation comes in the form of food that quickly and easily brings pleasure.
No understanding of one's own value
As a result, the girl makes an attempt to increase her personal boundaries in order to become different, more noticeable and significant.
Lack of love (inability to accept love)
And again, food becomes compensation. It brings with it a sense of peace, serenity, which is absent in relationships. It’s just a pity that these feelings are temporary.
