Weight Gain That Begins During Early Adulthood

Addressing the Most Common Blockades for Dieters

Early adulthood often signals a new path down Life's Highway. Whether it's off to college, an intimate relationship or a new career, this pivotal time in life presents many avenues that can lead to weight gain.

Here are a few of the more common Weight Gain Triggers shared by those who gain weight during early adulthood:

Goodbye to Home Cooking - The daily diet of yesteryear is no longer in tact.  Mom or Dad may have prepared wholesome, healthy meals that kept weight in balance.  

These days, the young adult finds that there is never enough time in a day and often finds themselves grabbing snacks rather than meals, and fast food rather than wholesome healthy meals.

In addition, meal time is no longer on a schedule as if was in the Good Old Days.  Breakfast might not ever happen; lunch might be dinner and dinner might be a late night snack that contains more calories than the standard healthy meal.

And those visits to the parents often turn into feeding sessions rather than standard healthy fare.  Holidays, celebrations - there's always something to celebrate.

Goodbye to Activity - The young adult is not only saddled with the strain of beginning a new life, they often forego activity due to their busy schedule.

Money Woes - Believe it or not, a lack of money can indeed trigger weight gain.  Whether it's stress over a thin wallet OR splurging on an ice cream sundae rather than being able to splurge on a new outfit, money woes can do big damage to the waistline.

Hello Love, Goodbye Bikini - Many young adults experience a substantial weight gain after settling into a relationship.

Fancy restaurants, new foods, fast foods, ability to branch out and create personal recipes - can add up to weight gain.

Stop weight gain in it's tracks by pinpointing your weaknesses when it comes to eating and limited activity, then work to drop those unwanted pounds before they have time to grow.

The more fat cells we make, the more difficult it is to lose and maintain our weight.
