Depression because of weight..

I get it. I started and then relapsed. It’s not that I’m trying to get down to a slimmer size, I just don’t want to pay for alterations. Drink more water. Walk more. Cut out carbs.

That happened to me, I went into planning thinking I was going to lose X amount of weight and it didn't happen. I was disappointed but too stressed out to really focus on that part, ended up focusing on getting my dress to fit my current body (turned out beautiful) and just letting myself off the hook. Focus on the fact that your future spouses loves you and wants to marry you as you are, have a good time and resume the weight loss post wedding. You can still cut down on alcohol, junk food, increase your water, work out, etc before the wedding to start feeling even better, but I wouldn't keep stressing about number on the scale. You will have an amazing time no matter what it says!

I know how frustrating that can be, I have battled my weight for my entire adult life. The only thing that has worked for me is I found something active that I really LOVED to do. For me it was triathlon, but anything you enjoy be it dancing, hiking, running or yoga, or anything that you look forward to doing! Losing weight will be a byproduct, but more than anything, it can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin so you can see the beautiful, amazing person that everyone else sees! Don’t punish yourself into weight loss because it’s never worth it. Find something active that makes you want to enjoy the process. Think about being strong rather than thin and the numbers on the scale will start to lose their power!

In your boat. I started too late with my trainer but even in a month I have seen progress. Gonna make it to the point...

You wont loose a ton of weight by then. You can tone up and smooth things out by hitting the gym 5-6 times a week (be sure to give your body rest days). Eat clean, chicken, veggies. No dessert or fried foods. You'll feel it coming off of you. TONS of water. But at the end of the day...

You are BEAUTIFUL as you are. Your FH thinks you're the most gorgeous thing ever and at the end of the day isn't it just his opinion that matters (beyond yours)?

There is no point at which you will feel "perfect"...in a week, in years, you'll always find something to dissect. Fine, that's natural. But right now you need to focus on the happiness you will feel saying I do. How GORGINE (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy anyone????) you will look with your hair and makeup done. In your gorgeous gown. Walking (or waltzing) to your man. Trust me you will be gorgeous to everyone that day but what really counts is how you feel and how your man loves the heck out of you.

Weight is so fickle, it's so un-noticable to guests unless you're 700 pounds. Don't stress. I stressed for so long about being plus sized but I embrace it now. Plus...guys freaking love curves. Its a fact. OWN IT!!!!

Don't cry! Focus on self care and feeling as good as you can! Everything else follows. (I'm a holistic nutritionist - this is expert advice Eat good, natural food. Move some everyday. Set achievable goals (like an after dinner walk with your man at night rather than 3 hours at the gym) and take care! You will be gorgeous and what an awesome thing to celebrate your love.
