And why?

Maybe the question was misleading, hinting to weight gain, specifically, but that's not what I meant. It could be letting go of your individualism, hobbies, friends, passions etc....Sorry for the confusion.

I didn't. I'm a much more put together person than before I got married. Before my son was born I had a successful career that I'm proud of. Now I stay at home, but I get up at 6 to get ready for the day. I wear nice clothes (sometimes when I'm out with my son people ask if I got the afternoon off of work), I keep a very clean house, I stay active in local politics, I'm current in the news, I cook good healthy meals for my family, and I keep the bedroom fun and interesting. There really isn't any excuse for "letting yourself go". You wouldn't want your spouse to do that to you would you? Besides, what kind of life is it when you aren't at your best?

I really didnt let myself go after marriage. It was after I had kids. I gained weight during pregnancy (of course), but I have since lost it all. I rarely wear makeup and I just put my hair back in a ponytail. I hate it... dont let yourself go ever. I am trying to get myself back, but it is hard when you are constantly caring for everyone else.

This only deserves me to say , that if by allowing yourself go means how much weight did you gain and why , your not the husband of the wive's answering , you do not see them the way their husband's see and truely love them , so this question is kind of null and void.
Real men dont stop loving or making love to their wive's because they may have gained weight after giving birth to their children and being there all emotionally for their families and placing them above everyone else, real men see the beautiful person that is in front of them and know they are in love for the personality and the thing's she / he does and anyone who states otherwise needs to grow up , the little boy's and girl's who dump spouse's after weight gain never had a right to be married and reproducing kid's in the 1st place.
JMO I am entitled.

definately myself. It's been 10 yrs and Ã'm slowly getting back to 'me'.Especially after kids. You just have to make that move sometimes to put yourself first. I've realize that If I'm not happy then I'm not a good wife or mommy.

Ive only been married for 5 months but already Ive become super lazy. My husband does not really want me to work. I moved to a diffferent state with him (hes in the military). Before I was married I could not stand being in the house too long. now that I am here, its like I have to force myself to find things to do. Well I guess its alot harder just because I dont really have friends here. I know the solution to my problem...get a job! But Ive just become so accustomed to the fact that I do not have to work I have no drive to look for one.

weight wise I let my self go. I was 150lbs and after I had our son I now weigh 200lbs. I tried to get the weight off, but our son is 4 now and it feels like it will never come off. I am so lucky he still thinks I am beautiful, doesn't hold it against me, and realizes we all have our faults.

I have only been married 6 months, but I don't cook as much as I used to....and we dont even have kids yet. Maybe kids will make me cook more. I let you know what happens in a couple of years.
fox, please write a book on how you do it all.
