Hi
In a chapter about "why people usually gain their weight back" the author writes:
Mostly it happens because the person is so overcome with confidence
that they start hitting the social scene. They are out showing off and
having a good time, but they’re also likely drinking at the bars and clubs,
and then eating when the alcohol makes them hungry.
Some people get into a relationship that always seems to help people
pack on the pounds. It may be due to one or the other getting
comfortable, but most likely it’s due to the fact that most dates revolve
around food and/or alcohol, so you run into the same scenario as above.
The more you eat, and the more you drink, the more weight you’re going
to gain.
1. I suppose it means that the person is confident that he/she can lose weight easily and that's why they start going out (hit the social scene?)?
2. Does it mean that some people ARE in a relationship OR they START a relationship which makes them gain weight back?
3. I'm not sure what the author means by saying "one or the other getting comfortable"?
Thanks

Newguest1. I suppose it means that the person is confident that he/she can lose weight easily and that's why they start going out (hit the social scene?)?That's not how I take it. My understanding is that the author is saying that the confidence you acquire from losing weight leads you into behavior that results in gaining the weight back.
