I posted this before in another sub, so I hope I make sense. I’m more curious if weight gain has to do anything with psychology, what do you all think? (I know I’ll be downvoted. I’m not shaming anyone at all. I’m curious on opinions, considering for me, I gained a lot of weight because of depression. This sub and other subs transformed my life.)
I want to know what everyone's thoughts on the topic of weight gain, general wise, not just relationship wise in terms of an indication of overall happiness, or unhappiness.
For example, it's been said through studies that people in relationships tend to gain weight when they're happy in a relationship. Mainly for the sole fact that the individuals in the relationship do not have to attract anybody. So, they freely let themselves gain because there's no rules for themselves at this point thanks to security.
Then there is a study that rich people tend to be more fit and workout more than people who aren't. Interestingly, it doesn't seem like rich couples gain weight, they tend to be most likely bein best shape. Which clashes with the above article on happiness.
Personally though, this does makes sense as far as relationship-wise goes, but outside of relationship wise, I think weight gain tends to be a subtle sign of hard times. Not flat out depression, but rather unhappiness as to why people stop caring about what they eat personally. Weight gain will always be a deep insecurity for majority of people, so it's strange to believe somebody is living life on cloud-9 when they're gaining weight when beforehand they were in an average healthy weight.
What do you think. Is the study far fetched? Do you think weight gain can a foreseeable indicator of somebodies overall happiness ESPECIALLY when it comes to a psychology reasoning.... Or is it something that means absolutely nothing with no psychological reasoning not in a relationship or in general?
My own personal story; so I don’t know if I’m one of a low few but when I gained a lot of weight, I was overweight. It was mainly a sign of depression. I didn’t want to admit I was depressed, and emotional eating was me comforting myself. It got bad to the point where I couldn’t even walk up a flight of stairs and recognized myself. I lost it all though after putting myself in a better mindset. Working out also mentally helps me, strangely. That’s why I’m curious if absurd amount of weight gain / (even loss) can be a signs of unhappiness.
