You and I both falling in love with a gorgeous and perfect Mr. Right. He’s the man you’ve waiting for all this time and your relationship is blissful. Find the right man at the right time, ridiculously happy; so happy that all your friends want to vomit on you. In this adoring gaze you see you, only better. Right:)? Then the exciting way life start to changes: having a breakfast, lunch, and dinner together almost everyday, going for hot holidays together, and almost of your time is with him. But then, the unthinkable happens: Your clothes start feeling too tight. What’s up with that?

I know the reason why because I experienced it before at the beginning of my new relationship with my loves one. I want to do confession here: I realized that I gain my weight but it happen very fast without I noticed the different until all my friends says that I look so chubby. At first, I don’t care what they say until one day I can’t fit my favourite jeans. Oh my god! I don’t believe it!!!! At that time suddenly I realized that being madly in love and feeling so fabulous make me indulge in everything, especially foods that give me instant gratification. I never control what types of foods I take before and I’ll never gain that drastic weight so what happen to me then really surprising me. It takes less than five month when my weight rise from 46kg to 53kg. See the different? Me, myself also can’t believe it, but it’s true. And now I tried very hard to get back my girlish figure but you know it’s really difficult job to do even to lose 1kg fatty: exercising every days and lower my foods intake but the result is still the same. The more you try, the more challenges you have to face. What do you think? Well, I’ll never give up and lucky me when my loves one always by my side encourage me to do my best. We both love sports, so we spend lots of times doing exercise together and help me gain my confident back. Well, now I know even when we’re in love, do not neglect or forget about how important to take care of ourselves, so that we’re more confident to take a great care of the relationship.

Sometimes, when you’re in a new romantic relationship, you’re combining diets too. Don’t you? Start to worry this circumstance may happen to you? Haaaahha..Actually you don’t have to be afraid, the result is depends on how you handling yourself. So, if you want to avoid packing on the relationship weight, you have to know why this seemingly unexplained weight gain can be explained — here’s how to strike a balance or regain control when a single serves become a double.

#1 The Pleasure Principle. As I said above, when somebody in love, they feeling fabulous and love has a way of making them feel special. Then our choices become more about pleasure and indulgence than restraint and control .well, at least until your favourite pair Levi’s won’t zip up. Hahahaha So, if you want to enjoy yourself but still feel healthy and look good you have to watch what you eat. Here’s a simple guidelines: Take snack healthy, don’t skip meals especially breakfast, Go easy on the alcohol, and always say no to seconds plate.

#2 Don’t Follow Your Man Meal. So, what’s the key to remaining happy with your guy and your waistline? Don’t even attempt to keep up with his intake, suggest Gay Riley, a registered dietitian and creator of www.netnitritionist.com. Take the time to serve yourself when you’re eating at home; don’t shovel it in like he does eat slowly so that you realize when you’re full. Furthermore, eating with someone always more fun, especially with somebody special; your have more appetite and you don’t feel as guilty about indulging in fatty foods because someone else too.

#3 No Sleep Equals Lazy Eating. When we fall in love, the brain increases its production of love hormones, which keeps you feeling elated and energized, explains Fisher, author of Why We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love. The good news: You don’t have to battle the effects of fatigue. An the bad news: It takes its toll eventually. Research suggests that lack of sleep can make people vulnerable to infection. That’s why it’s more important than ever to fuel your body with the nutrients it needs the counteract the stress your new life is placing on it. Try to have a consistent sleep schedule and pack more fruit and veggies into your diet, add them to everything that doesn’t already include them.

#4 The Carb Clash. Love can be tricky when you and your squeeze subscribe to different dietary styles. If you spend a lot of time with a guy, you’re going to pick up his eating habits, so you have to find a way to make it work. You need to take control together of what you eat. Both of you should decide on the meal, you shouldn’t turn up starving for dinner; it’ll help keep your meal portions in check, suggest Riley.

#5 Appetite, What Appetite? So, what if gaining weight is the last thing on your mind? If you’re one of those girls who actually loses her appetite when she meets a new man, there’s good news. You won’t simply pile on weight the minute you start eating normally again. The key? Take the time to listen to your appetite. Hunger is generally driven by a mixture of factors that can be physical, emotional and cultural, says Richard Mattes, professor of food and nutrition at Purdue University of Indiana. It’s never the result of one thing. If you never have a moment to yourself, take the time to relax in your own space. As exciting as a new relationship can be, living like a nomad can also be stressful.

The most important point here is love yourself, and make some effort to nourish your body no matter how busy your love life might be. Take this three magic words: Food sleep - exercise. So, for all women in love out there, take the power back and set the tone for a healthy and happy relationship. Good luck to you all.
