A friend of mine separated recently and now when I see him he looks much healthier, having lost weight and being more active. A cousin of mine also broke up with her husband recently, when I saw her I could hardly recognize her, she was much better looking (last time I saw her with her husband whe was pale, out-of-shape, and badly dressed).
Do people generally lose weight and get in better shape after divorce/separation, and what does this say about the state their marriage had been in?

I find that I lose a lot of weight, mostly because of stress, then its because I'm going out and want to look good. I also try to look good to make the ex a little jealous.

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/fVnAe
Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:
- Start by understanding and being informed.
You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.
The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

i think a person can go either way with their weight after a seperation or divorce because of emotions you will either want to eat all the time causing weight gain or not want to eat at all or much at all causing weight loss.... i have been in both of these situations at different times so .... i can understand both....it is psychological

No one said losing weight would be an easy process. Get off the coach, burn some calories and build some muscle and stay the course for at least three months. It is as simple as that, really!

people do gain weight after divorce if they have been unhappy in their marriages and they lose weight if they were happy in the marriage and now that its over they are suffering.

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/NC1Na
Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.
The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.
Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

Depends on the people. I was happy when I left him I gained a little weight because I didn't have to please him I was comfortable. He lost a lot of weight because he never ate and drank all the time. All depends

The first time my husband left, I lost weight because of the stress. After he left the last time, I lost weight again because I wasn't eating out much anymore.
