According to a study, commissioned by fitness & wellbeing experts Nuffield Health,more than 40% of couples abandoned their pre-wedding exercise and healthy eating plans within a month of the nuptials.
The research revealed that 45% of us feel that the reasons we stop our diet and exercise regime once married is due to a lack of motivation and 39% cite ‘too busy enjoying married life’ to keep up the healthy habits. A third us of worry less about our shape once we’re married.
However, despite being seemingly happy to slip into this sedentary lifestyle, our partners are less happy to accept this slide. Almost 70% of newlyweds admit they would be unhappy if their partner let themselves go and put on weight after their big day and 75% of all married couples would tell them so.
This sets the precedent for married life, with more than a quarter continuing to eat more and a fifth exercising even less than before they were married. Once we get into domestic life over half of us go out less and instead watch more TV (40%) and eat bigger portions of food (24%).
Dr Sarah Dauncey, Medical Director at Nuffield Health says this is not just a weight issue: "I think most married people can identify with these findings, it’s very easy to slip into content, married life and to some extent give up on ourselves as individuals.
