I think we've defined "letting oneself go" as a conscious choice, or the results of a particular state of mind.
It's clear to me by the many great posts in this thread that those of us in committed, long-term relationships (such as marriage) support our partners (and are supported by partners) in situations where it's out of our control... And in many cases, go beyond that by sticking with and helping their partner get through a tough spot where it isn't out of their control.
