Everyone always talks about The Freshman 15... but does anyone ever talk about The Marriage 15?! No. Because no one truly believes in it or even knows it is a thing. But let me be the first to tell you, it is REAL people. You get comfortable, you make treats, you don't have to look pretty anymore because you already got your man, you stop going to the gym because hanging out at home is more fun, you don't go to dance parties... plus, if you get married after you graduate you don't have to walk back and forth on campus. You just sit at a desk and get fat. It also doesn't help if your work offers you delicious treats on a weekly basis.

Don't fall victim to The Marriage 15 like I did. Because I really did. Actually. More like The Marriage 20. What happens when a girl is only motivated to work out for swimsuit competition and then said pageant gets taken away? Weight gain. What happens when said girl meets the man of her dreams and would rather watch Pretty Little Liars than go to the gym, and she can because she don't gotta impress no one? Weight gain. What happens when you live in your own home with your own fancy wedding gift kitchen gadgets? Weight gain. Let me tell you... it is real. And now that I have realized it is real, I am doing something about it. And you can too!


So don't do it. Don't fall victim to any sort of 15. The Freshman 15. The Marriage 15. The Full Time Job 15... don't do it. Just remember this info-graphic and hit the gym . You can thank me later.
