Yep I know childbearing brings about weight gain. But it's not irreversible. It's just the zeal.
Besides, this wasn't the type of weight gain I was referring to. It goes beyond that. Talking about "consciously blowing out of shape" without

1) exercises to burn calories to maintain weight
2) sticking to a healthy eating habit wilhich includes the right calories intake considering ones BMI and level of physical activity.


I totally agree with you that an out-of-shape wife shouldn't be a ticket for a man to cheat. But do you realize that staying in shape is a strong attraction factor in keeping your man all to yourself?

funkymatics:
how many married nigerians have a job that permits them to have dinner latest by 7pm. most times that's when they leave thier work places and of course they would be caught up in traffic and because they cant afford to keep a maid or buy from eatries they will end up eating late because the dinner would be cooked that same nite. this is the major cause of the big belly men and women carry around.
eat fruits once it is too late to do dinner tho some husbands no go gree hear say wife no wan cook cos it is late and if i cook i go chop now. sho!!!!

Average Nigerian women don't keep nanny. They wake up by 5a.m, dress up d kids nd also leave for work.


They rush back hme after work, to get d kids nd also prepare dinner.
Some of them also work on saturdays.
Nd d routine continues.

Instead of u to appreciate them, u here complaining abt their weight gain.


Pregnancy also change their body too, nd contribute to d weight gain.




The posters above calling women lazy might be typing with their pot belly resting on their laps

What stops them frm hitting d gym

mizzochocinco:
so whats your mum's excuse for not jogging 2miles a day and eliminated body odour? Remember im not insulting anyone.

Unique04:
Don't you know child bearing makes a woman pull on weight?
Anyway u are right on one thing, Nigerian women are too lazy to watch their weight. However, weight gain of a partner should not be an excuse for adultery.

all these are rigorous work, so why are they not burning fat?

HaneefahRN:


First, not all women gain so much weight, trying to look around me, you all seem to be exaggerating. There are fit, slim married women around and there are robust ones who had been even before marriage. And let's not talk about men who gain weight after marriage. My parents for example, my dad was the one that gained weight while my mum still has
her portable build even after 6 kids. And it wasn't like she was doing any special exercises, she was just lucky to have a good genetic build as regards weight gain, her mothers had same build. She has the average day layout of a Nigerian woman. Wake up 4am, pray, cook and other chores, prepare the family for school and work, go to work, come back 5pm at least, chores, and prep dinner, etc, and the cycle continues.
These Factors can contribute:

- Diet: We generally have a poor diet in Nigeria, most of our traditional dishes are high calorie foods. How many homes do you see where they eat veggie and fruit salad as a real food. We all want our pounded yam, amala and all. How many families eat dinner before 6pm? People eat heavy meals late at night, how do they work that off?


- Pregnancy. Overflogged, some people are lucky not to gain so much weight though.Some people don't even look pregnant till they are in their late trimester, while some people would have ballooned up to 2 times their normal size and find it hard to shed off after child birth.

- Birth Control methods-Some birth control methods such as use of hormonals cause weight gain.

- Laziness and sedentary life style-Unless an house wife with a maid, that sits in front of TV every day eating, which an average Nigerian wife doesn't do, I really don't see much to this.


- Genetics: Some people are just genetically programmed to have a slim frame. I have friends that can eat mountains and they won't show any visible weight gain, while some people will even gain weight while suffering. It's genetics. My mum could lose her baby fat fairly well and still look moderate after several preggies, while a friend of mine is still battling with the weight she gained while pregnant even after a year, diet, exercise and all. She looked so jealous when I told her I wanted to gain weight instead.


- Stress-When one is stressed there is more likelihood to eat junks rather than healthy meals

- Overeating - Some people just like eating a lot without any care about how to work it off.






Let me just stop here, I haven't been to other Countries so can't say if it's only Nigerian women that are obese like you people always try to paint it.


And men with beautiful, prim wives still cheat, a man that will cheat will, even with a lady that can't stand beside his wife. We could as well try and justify a wife cheating cos her husband got broke, can't we?

Both parties should help themselves to keep fit.

tomquest:
I met some former colleagues of mine whom I'd seen about 6 years ago. Believe me, while I was able to recognize all the guys, it was a Herculean task identifying all the ladies, most of whom I knew to be slim/trim/curvy and unmarried then. Almost all of these once-slim ladies are now looking big and fat and absolutely less plummy than they used to be.

Why is it hard for MANY married ladies to stay trim and sexy? Is marriage a "breakthrough from hunger" or what? And why do they express shock when their husbands go after trim and shapely ladies outside? Is it that they didn't know that men are typically motivated by sensual sights?

I've seen a lot of ladies in their 30s who are so lazy to even take a 20 minutes walk in a week, at least just to exercise and burn some fat. Let's not even mention going to the gym. They drive or board okada all their lives. And when they eat, you'd ve amazed at the amount of calories they consume!

Are this category of ladies aware that the game is becoming dangerously tighter because "oga" is constantly inundated with young, trim, energetic and sexy girls on a daily basis; while his own wife keeps growing fat and out of shape and looking like his mother? Guys, do you like your wife looking like she's your mum?

sinaj:
Blah blah blah

logica:
The original post already described the scenario; all the men were still trim and recognizable; all the women had lost shape. Speak to the scenario rather than filling the space with generalizations.

sinaj:
Oga what does the word NIGERIAN WOMEN mean?

lordyugo:


u made valid points bt it all boils dwn to diet,u can be busy as hell bt wit diet it doesnt matter, chk out celebrities dt are busy 24 7 bt r able to remain trim cos it all boils dwn to diet. We eat lots of starchy food

Fash20:
Gud. Don't start gaining weight when you finally get married its irritating and annoying. Men hate it.

rose54321:
The same reason why some men get potbelly after marriage.

muri4mig:

johnnychuks:
point of correction our woman are not lazy as you said, accept they are pretending and an addition to that when they are finally married they see it in other way that their major problem as been solved , that is were they get it wrong.

MissRike:

Not that they are lazy per se,85% of african women only little or no time for themselves,they dedicate their time to their children and husband.the cooking,the laundry and cleaning work them out,the little time they get,they put into movies. They should spend at least ten mins working out at home, if not for anything,to stay fit and healthy.

sinaj:
talking about celebrities, their shape is their signature

Hence, they would go any mile to keep in shape.

They still undergo surgical procedures such as liposuction nd others to stay in shape coz it's part of their job.

Yet, they still add weight overtime. It's just a natural thing.


U can compare the present pics of celebrities nd d ones they took abt 8 years ago.

You can check omotolas, Omawumi, Caroline danjuma nd the rest.


It's just natural

Buccwoj:

Yeah google not bad, You need makeup..... ur face so Masculine.

lordyugo:
