10 Times in Life You Are Most Likely to Put on Weight

In a woman’s life, there are many milestones. With those milestones come some unexpected side effects, and unfortunately, that sometimes includes weight gain.

1. When you hit puberty
The drawn out process of puberty is complete hormonal warfare – you’re hungry all the time, and experience lots of physical and emotional ups and downs. Unavoidably, fat cells increase in size and quantity, and social media doesn’t help at this point.

2. Going to college or university
Ah, the first true days of independence… and the freshman fifteen. Being away from home and having more of a passion for social life than a balanced diet leads to some love handles, inevitably. This leads students to eat junk food and snacks instead.

3. Relationship or marriage weight
Getting comfortable in relationship means that you stop trying to impress your partner – you love each other for the inside as much as the outside, at this point. This especially goes for marriage, when you’re locking down a partner for life.

4. On the other side, going through a breakup
There’s not much that a girl knows how to do better than eating her feelings. You thought you were with forever bae, but now you have to start from scratch and face the loneliness. Through three sleeves of Oreos and an entire bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos.
