What is the percentage of wives that are still a sz 4?

Question

Even after children. I am just courious to why when you are wife, you get heavy?

Answer 1

hahhahaha This wont have many answers.

Answer 2

I'm a 45 year old mother of three. Like Val, I'm 5'8", so not a size 4, but I'm the same size I've been my entire adult life. Women use childbirth as an excuse to let themselves go. I regained my prepregnancy figure within six weeks of giving birth all three times.Pregnancy doesn't make you fat, eating fattening food makes you fat. It isn't harder to lose weight as you get older; it's exactly the same. That's just another excuse used by fat people to justify themselves. I worked at Jenny Craig for a year. There are endless numbers of excuses for being fat, but what it really comes down to is a lack of self-discipline.

Answer 3

I never was a size 4.  That being said, I have not gained weight in my marriage, either.

And Val, don't hate.  I actually am a D cup.  ;P

And Martina - maybe you care a little TOO much about your body?  There's a difference between caring about your body and being a psycho who tries to get compliments every 5 seconds and strives for everyone's attention.  Muahahha.  (I know you hate me - just have to continue giving you more and more reason to every day.)

No, Martina, I'm not a 14 - I'm a very healthy weight for my height.  My BMI is only 21, which is perfect and healthy.  I want to be at a healthy weight, and size 2 is not healthy, period.  And don't call yourself attractive.  The only thing worse than someone who thinks they are beautiful is someone who actually ISN'T beautiful and has a false opinion of themselves. :)  (You wanna call me a b**** I can show you a b****)

Answer 4

Its called "The Comfort Zone". You are with the same person and feel like they should love you no matter what (which they should). We tend to not go the whole 9 yards to look good because we already got our man. And as far as a size 4....Well I was NEVER that size.  LOL.... :)

Answer 5

Most wives I know did not gain weight after getting married.  Where do you live where there are all these fat wives running around?

Answer 6

I'm a little bigger than I was before.. but I wouldn't consider myself heavy... although I'm still young (25yrs), I've heard after 30-35 your body 'changes' and it's not common to be "thin" after this age. Everyone's different and Everyone's beautiful. Having kids does different things to different people.

Also, these days, more and more women are delivering their babies via c-section which for most make it that much more difficult to lose those added pounds around their tummy area.  

Anyway I've had 3 babies (they're 9, 7 and 3 now). I'm 5"6 I weigh about 114 pounds and I'm typically a size 5..sometimes a 3. Though usually size isn't that important to me.. I wear whatever size looks right on my body and flatters my shape.. I'm not fat and I'm not thin- I think I would label myself as average.

I've been married 7 years.. I think that my husband in this so called "Comfort Zone" everyone keeps mentioning.. because he has definatly gotten heavier in these past few years.  =)

Answer 7

I'm a size 4 after 2 children, I was a 1 before..then again I'm only 5 ft..still that's no excuse to get big

Answer 8

Dress size means NOTHING!

I am 5' 10......women my height are not size 4 or we would be dead!  And I am a fitness nut and part time personal trainer and I was NEVER a size 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geez.....i can't believe some of these questions!

Answer 9

I'm pushing mid 30's and am a mother.  I am a size 2.  Marriage and Kids don't make you heavy.  Eating bad foods and lack of exercise does.

Answer 10

Well I'm 5'7 and a size 4 would be too skinny for me. But that being said I weigh now what I did when I got pregnant with each of my kids. (127 lbs and a size 7) Just because I had kids doesn't mean I'm going to just let myself go.....Though alot of people do use that as an excuse. I do have to say though that it was alot easier losing the weight after baby #1 when I was only 18 then it was after baby #2 when I was 26. But I was determined not to be one of "those women". I kind of like the fact that my husband calls me "little mama" and if I was fat then he'd just sound stupid saying that!

Edit: I find it really funny that all of us that say we are still the same size as when we got married and before we had kids get a thumbs down! LMAO It's akin to the "*****" look we get at the pool or when we are at a restaraunt. That's fine with me! I'd rather be hated by someone else for still looking good than to hate what I've let myself become if I allowed myself to get fat.

Answer 11

do you think caring kids doesn t change your body ? anyway i was 99 pounds before kids , now i am 105. i have gotten some but would do all i can to keep in shape . i love  it when my hubby carries me around .i was a size 0 now i am a 1 or some 2 fits

Answer 12

i wont its not in my genes, high metabolism, i actualy wont mind gaining a little weigth i can well cary a lil more of it, but its highly unlikely i am going to ever get heavy...just dont have the bonebuild and genes for it...heavy in my genetics is what other people call average or normal :S

i am european though, so dont know the US sizes, normal size in europe is 38-42 really, 38-40 get classed as medium but a normal adult woman can easily be smaller large size without being heavy, too thin is something teens are, not women, women got hips and forms. Anything less then that is thin, and being too thin is not womenly, anarexia is not healthy nor attractive. So teen for a teen in reality kid, and for a woman is two very different things.

I lay between 6-8 (i found a table), which put me in the smaller range, a 4 is not a woman its a kid, its not a healthy aim, and its next to imposible to find that size where i grew up, i know cause i needed it when younger before luckily puberty worked its wonders, no way i'd go back to that, its not pretty on normal heigth women, its too thin. The only reason someone should get into a 4 if they are normaly healthy is that the clothes sizes are big, its surely not something i'd be proud about.

Also last i checked while most women gain a lil female weigth that they cary well, its more rare that its the woman who gain the beerbelly

Answer 13

I would say less than 5%.  Size 4 is pretty small whether you are married or not. I am about the same size that I was when I met my husband.  Maybe a little softer but still wear the same size and that is after 2 children.  

Answer 14

I'm defenitely not a size four, but I'm ok with that and so is my husband. That's all that matters. My man actually likes having a little to grip.LOL

Answer 15

hahaha I can vouch for 1.  I am a size two but I haven't had any kids yet lol!

I care too much about my body to be fat!  I work out 3-5 days a week, even though I am skinny!  I am not one of those woman who will wait until I am 600 pounds then try to do something!  That is just gross!

To Mrs. Shaggy-  B**** I Don't Need anyone on here to give me compliments I know I am HOTT!!  You've never been a size 4, what the h**l are you a size 14!!

To Beautiful Stranger-  Right on!!  FAT woman are always angry at skinny attractive woman!  d**n it's not anyone's fault that they are fat, but their own!!

Answer 16

i have seen a lot of mother at my gym that look like size 2s. I think a lot women who are married to men with money are more likely to weigh less than those in less affluent areas.  

Answer 17

I NEVER WAS A SIZE 4 EVEN WHEN I WAS SINGLE, BUT I CAN SAY I HAVE GAINED 40 POUNDS IN LAST 2 YEARS SINCE I GOT MARRIED.

Answer 18

Why are all the smaller women getting a thumbs down? And a woman who said she gained 40 pounds in two years got a thumbs up?

Why is taking care of yourself, staying healthy and looking good "bad"? Is it because it takes hard work and a lot of women aren't willing to put in the effort? Just because you're married it doesn't mean you have to stop taking care of yourself. 50 percent of marriages end in divorce and infidelity. I know in a fantasy world looks wouldn't matter and your husband would love you now matter how big you got, but realistically that's not the case. Another thing, aside from wanting to look good for my husband, I simply wouldn't be happy if I gained a bunch of weight. I wouldn't feel good about myself, I'm assuming being fat is extremely uncomfortable, it's not healthy, and I wouldn't want to set that example for my children.

  

Answer 19

HA-HA well for starters I was NEVER a size 4... in fact if i was, I probably wouldn't be married to my husband, LOL he likes "thick girls"

But like a few of the others have said, you are now in the "comfort zone" and your no longer trying to impress him anymore, b/c you know he loves you for you and no matter what you do.  

Answer 20

I am a little late on this but i was going to say the same thing as Val...I am 5'9' and i have never been a size 4. ...well maybe when i was 4?

and i love your question "why when you are wife, you get heavy?" So does that mean that only wives get heavy?

Answer 21

Just because you are married doesn't  mean you get fat!  I am the same size I was before I was married as I am now...that was 6 yrs ago.   I am still a size 1....

Answer 22

I just had my daughter 5 months ago, so I am definatly not there yet. I was never a size 4, but I was happy being an 8.

I think some women get too comfortable in their marriage and dont think they have to impress their husbands anymore, lol.

And having a baby does mess with your metabolism and can mess with your thyroid, making it harder to lose weight. Not to mention there isnt as much time for excercise and have "mommy time" after the baby comes.

Answer 23

Why is it your concern why other women gain weight? Just worry about yourself!! Jeez!!

ADD: LOL Val! Well I'm not a size 4... I have curves and I love it... I'm not that heavy though!!! LOL

ADD: LMAO to Mrs Heather!! I think Ms Martina needs to cover up..... Watch after she has kids she blows up to 300lbs.. Thats what happens to women who brag.

Answer 24

well im not married, but i know alot of people who are, and not a single one are a size 4.

also i guess i got the shite end of the deal because i was never a size 4, i got these things called hips and they make me a size 7,,, (im about 5'5 and weigh 135)

but i think its a good thing.

as far as why women let themselves go, its because you have your man, you dont need to impress anyone anymore, so you work out a little less, and eat a little more, and it just happens, its not like its done on purpose...its like the saying says, "Fat and Happy"]

And Val, I am a 34D.  I will admit openly that i do have a kinda small A$$ though!

Answer 25

We have 4 kids.  Wife respects me enough to maintain her health and weight.  She hits the gym and plays competitive Volleyball.  She weighs the same now as she did when we got married.

Wife and I don't believe in the "comfort zone".  Such zone are really just a nice way of saying you are too lazy and lack respect for your partner.

Answer 26

I am a size 5, have two children one 30 and the other 12.  49 and still fit.  I am a wife and I am not heavy!!!!

Answer 27

Well, we dont all get heavy, but I think its a proven fact that after age 30, its waaaay harder to keep yourself thin. It's nature.

Answer 28

I was never a size 4. I was a size 6/7 though. I'm about 35wks pregnant and am not a size 6/7 right now. Prior to me getting pregnant, I weighed 135 and have been that size for years.

I don't believe in letting myself go just because I'm married. I somewhat have my husband in mind by trying to stay fit but I moreso do it because I like the way I look. I think that self satisfaction is most important. However, for women that know what their husbands would like and do nothing to try and maintain what he'd like, shouldn't be surprised if/when he's no longer attracted to you. The same goes for men though. If you decide to let yourself go and develop man b***s and a beer gut, you shouldn't be surprised if your wife is no longer attracted to you. Not all men/women prefer a size 4 or equivalent. There are quite a few people who like thickness.  

Answer 29

I am 39, have two kids and am a size 4...

I am also a recovering anorexic...

Answer 30

im a size 4 and i just had a baby 7 months ago...... there are a lot of hot moms out there i dont know wat makes u think that marriage and childrens means get fat.

if ppl get heavy is bc thats how they want to be or sont care nemore. but not everyone thats married and have childrens is that way.

Answer 31

hahahahahahahaha
