Has anyone ever gained or lost weight after starting a relationship?

Ok. To all the couples, I'd love your tips.

I started dating a guy this summer. Although we've only been dating a short time, we recently decided to live together. He had a transformative weight loss journey before we met, but as soon as we started dating and living together he was very excited to do all the couple things he didn't get to do. He took me out to dinner almost every night and between the two of us we gained about 16 lbs in 4 weeks.

I went away for a business trip that kept us apart for 1 week so far. In this week I already lost 5 lbs. No diets or anything. Just literally... being... apart... 😢 and not doing all the date stuff that somehow equals unhealthy stuff.

This is the first time either of us have been in a relationship in 10 years. We're trying to figure out ways to regain the healthy balance we had as single individuals into a shared living environment. I'm still away on business and want to make sure we both have healthy systems in place when I return so we don't fall into the same trend.

I've never struggled with weight per-say, but he lost close to 100lbs over the course of two years. I took a lot of work and I want to be a positive support in this aspect of his life.

How have other people navigated health goals in a partner dynamic?
