Does dating make you fat?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
ROOM at Twelve, Spice, Two Urban Licks, Trois. Any of these ring a bell? No, it’s not a checklist for a naughty rendezvous. These are just a few of the fabulous places to dine in Atlanta.
When you are single and dating, some of your socializing can take place in restaurants, at parties, or clubs that involve the consumption of food and alcohol. If you are one that tries to maintain some semblance of a healthy lifestyle, dating someone who, well isn’t, can be really tough.
My friend Christa has been dating Spencer for a few weeks, and she already realizes how horrible his eating habits are. What’s worse is, he tries to get her to partake of his bad eating habits all the time.
My friend Dennis said that he gained 12 lbs in the last year since his relationship with Lena first began. She recently mentioned the extra weight gain to him, and he somewhat blamed it on their relationship. When he was unattached, he played basketball on the weekends, went to the gym, and was a lot more active. Nowadays, the only time he breaks a sweat is when, well.. I stopped him before he could actually tell me that information!
Do you think dating and/or being in a relationship makes you gain weight faster than when you are unattached?
Have you ever been involved with someone who had horrible eating habits?
Do you have horrible eating habits, yet you are dating someone who eats healthy and lives in the gym? How can you make it work? Do you adopt their way of eating/exercise or stick to what you do and hope it doesn’t become a problem?
If you are vegan, vegetarian, or somewhat health conscious, are there places in Atlanta that you can go that caters to you?
Where do all the healthy, active, and physically fit single people mix and mingle?
