[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people stress-eat. Some people cannot resist snacking all day when they are steps from the kitchen. Some people feel like they need gyms to work out/don’t have a home gym/can’t take the heat to go outside. Some people no longer have childcare available. Really OP, you can’t think of any reasons?[/quote]

Good point. I guess school-age kids are the main thing. My husband and I don’t have kids yet, and I know my sister has her hands full chasing after her 4 year old so she hasn’t gained weight. I guess I’m less tempted by the fridge than by all the restaurant options by my work office. And I don’t stress eat, but I am more likely to eat unhealthy when I’m really busy, and these days without commuting or social engagements I am anything but busy. [/quote]

Oh, you’re cute.  Talking down to people about weight gain on a parenting board when you’re not even a parent and [i]therefore have no effing clue what parents are going through.[/i][/quote]

Agree. Life pre-children vs with kids is entirely different. Add in depressed spouse and utter lack of free time. I’d probably be finishing extra coursework and logging miles as a single child free person. Instead I had chicken nuggets for dinner.[/quote]

I don't have more free time.  If anything, I have less  Sure, I'm not commuting, but that saves me a whopping hour a day.  On the flip side, I am working full-time and oversee DL, plus preparing three meals a day and cleaning (so many more dishes!) and all the other household stuff I had before.  And I'm not *literally* running after my kid all day -- she's seven.  I can't just go to the gym or take a walk at lunch, because I have childcare responsibilities that I didn't have in the office.  The people with all the extra free time are people without kids.  [/quote]
