I have my wedding dress and it’s very large. At the time I lived in New Orleans, partied constantly and in between finished my Internship. I also had my Puertorican curves which I often wish I still have. My all standards I was too skinny and my father used to always say I ate like a bird and looked like one. Jokingly of course… an figures were and are still more the style in the Latin countries for the most part. And barring obesity, I believe it’s probably healthier and everyone enjoys a good meal. I only gained weighed during pregnancies and at times got in trouble for not gaining enough. I still only eat very little, and only when I get hungry (every couple of hours frankly) but really enjoy my food. I’m never still and walk a lot too. I have no idea why this is bc I can eat the same or more calories than others even in my household and I don’t gain, and my stomach processes like a garbage disposer in a very short time. Everyone is different.

I must be an anomely. I weighed 135lbs when I got married. Lost 20 the first six months...I was doing my own cooking and prepared healthy meals and I was happy.. After first child was born I weighed 5 lbs less...and so it went until when I became pregnant with #3 I was 108 lb...now 43 yrs later I am 120 lb.. exercise and eat well...but it is easy to blame someone else - who wants all that responsibility. My youngest daughter weighs about the same after 2 children as she did when she got married...hard to tell as she is pregnant with #3. ________________________________ From: Merav <meravls@... <mailto:meravls%40msn.com> > To: " rd-usa <mailto:rd-usa%40yahoogroups.com> " <rd-usa <mailto:rd-usa%40yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 6:57 PM Subject: Re: Get a Guy, Gain Weight.... When I first read your email and your question I had a chuckle. Any insight why man have negative influence on women.... Where to start ... At the end: finally, it is not your mom to blame or your wife, it's your husband/ boyfriend or even child! Yey. Blame them all But on a more serious note: we starve to death during dating, so we could get a date, then we find a guy. He takes us out .... To dinner. Hey, " a girl has to eat " . And then we get married, feel comfortable. We stop going to the gym bc someone has to clean launder and cook. And even if we are lucky that he shares the load or even do more chores then we do, we still exercise less bc it is suddenly more fun to be home and cuddle in front of the TV. Then we have kids and not only the hormones will drive us nuts but we are required to eat extra 300 cal, which when the pregnancy & lactation ends - what are those 300 cal I ate for the past year+ that I now need to cut back, and between dippers and sleepless nights I am even doing some emotional eating bc sleep deprivation will do that to you. And then We wake up one morning with 40 lbs more then we were at 21 and we feel terrible and we try every fad diet in the world bc our man, who grew bigger too, makes us feel unattractive, only to find out that all those fad diets making us gain more and difficult to lose at the end. And then comes the real " bomb " : premenopausal followed by her evil sister menopause ( did anyone ever looked at this word? Man-o-pause) . But you all know that. So yes. Let's blame man! I love that And just for the record - I also have some extra lbs to shell but never tought to blame the men in my life. I am now !
