Right? If we're in a good relationship, We'll get fatter.

1. "Comfort Zone" sense.

As we are in a stable and secure relationship, we begin to reduce our wary of shape, unlike the new single or flirtatious period, where we often flex and try to keep the figure accurate at all times to appeal to the opposite side, and when the relationship fits, we are more brave to "be ourselves" and Enjoy with eating.

2. The main activity is to "eat."

Most dates can't escape. A new restaurant, chic cafe, or a Delivery order. Let's watch Netflix together at home. When someone eats as a friend, the food is more delicious, and it tends to eat longer and more unknowingly.

3. Influence from lovers (Mimicry)

We tend to have eating habits that are amenable to those next to us, for example, if a girlfriend orders a sweet item, we tend to "help" it, or if a girlfriend is a good eater, we tend to resize the dish.

4. Reduced stress level

In good relationships, the body secretes more of the hormone Oxytocin (the hormone of attachment) and lowers the hormone Cortisol (the stress hormone), which in some people, reduced stress causes better sleep and more food growth.

In a nutshell: If you get fat because you're happy with the person next to you, that's a sign that you've found your own "Safe Zone," just like us, haha.

... Read moreในประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวของผม ผมสังเกตว่าเมื่อตั้งความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีและมั่นคงกับคนรัก น้ำหนักจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างชัดเจน แต่อย่าเพิ่งตกใจ มันเป็นเรื่องธรรมชาติที่เกิดขึ้นจากหลายปัจจัยที่ส่งผลต่อพฤติกรรมและสุขภาพจิตของเรา อย่างแรกเลยคือเรื่องของ "Comfort Zone" หรือโซนความสบายทางอารมณ์ เมื่อเรารู้สึกปลอดภัยและมั่นคงในความสัมพันธ์ เราจะลดความระมัดระวังในเรื่องรูปร่างลง ต่างจากช่วงเริ่มต้นความรักที่พยายามรักษาหุ่นให้สวยเป๊ะตลอดเวลา การที่สามารถเป็นตัวเองได้เต็มที่นั้น ทำให้เราเพลิดเพลินกับการกินมากขึ้นโดยไม่ต้องรู้สึกผิด นอกจากนี้ การกินร่วมกับคนรักก็เป็นกิจกรรมที่เชื่อมความสัมพันธ์ให้แน่นแฟ้นกว่าเดิม คุณจะพบว่าการไปทานอาหารนอกบ้านหรือนั่งดู Netflix พร้อมสั่งเดลิเวอรี่ที่ชอบกลายเป็นกิจกรรมหลัก เช่นนี้ทำให้การกินอร่อยขึ้นและกินได้นานขึ้นโดยไม่ได้ตั้งใจ ความน่าสนใจอีกอย่างคือพฤติกรรม "Mimicry" หรือการเลียนแบบกันในคู่รัก เช่น ผมเคยสังเกตว่าเวลาคนรักสั่งของหวานมาด้วย ผมเองก็รู้สึกอยากทานตามไปด้วย แม้ไม่ใช่คนโปรดของหวานก็ตาม หรือเวลาคู่รักกินจุขึ้น ก็ส่งผลให้ผมปรับขนาดอาหารให้มากขึ้นตามไปด้วยเช่นกัน ในแง่ทางกายภาพ ฮอร์โมน Oxytocin ที่เรียกว่าฮอร์โมนแห่งความผูกพันจะเพิ่มขึ้นเมื่อเราอยู่ในความสัมพันธ์ดีๆ ขณะเดียวกันฮอร์โมน Cortisol ซึ่งเป็นฮอร์โมนความเครียดจะลดลง ส่งผลให้ความเครียดลดน้อย ทำให้นอนหลับดีขึ้นและอยากอาหารมากขึ้นโดยธรรมชาติ ทั้งหมดนี้ทำให้ผมเชื่อว่าการเพิ่มขึ้นของน้ำหนักในความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีไม่ได้เป็นสัญญาณลบ แต่เป็น "Safe Zone" หรือจุดที่เรารู้สึกปลอดภัยและมีความสุขกับตัวเองและคนข้างๆ การยอมรับความเปลี่ยนแปลงนี้จึงเป็นเรื่องสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้เรารักษาความสัมพันธ์และสุขภาพใจไปพร้อม ๆ กัน

You have to understand HOW food affects you. I’m not saying you need to know the science behind everything food related, but you do need to understand how your body responds to what you’re eating & how much you need to be eating. Guilt, fear, shame, only come from believing that you did
