Engagement Photos - sneak peeks... I kind of hate them?

My photographer sent me 4 sneak peeks last night. The end result was me, sobbing HYSTERICALLY, for about an hour while FH tried to calm me down. I. Look. AWFUL. in these photos.

I love our photographer. I just know that if I don't lose weight (and SOON)... I'm going to be horribly depressed with my wedding photos.

We get to see the rest of our e-pics on Sunday. Now I'm super nervous about them. I don't want to cry over them again.

These are 3 of the ones he sent. I can't stand to look at the 4th one. FH says I'm crazy and he loves them.

    Are you kidding me? You look fantastic girlie. I think your hair, make-up, outfit, everything looks fantastic.

    We’re all judgmental though. There were a few pictures that I hated…. But there’s more coming, these are just the sneak peeks, I’m sure she has some you’ll fall In love with.

    I'll be honest...I read what you wrote and then scrolled down to the pictures and said WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT??? Hon, you don't look fat AT ALL in these pictures. You guys look adorable and FH is so super cute. That being said I understand how seeing yourself in pictures translates much differently than when you look in the mirror everyday.

    Your wedding is in October. If you want to lose weight, I think you have a nice chunk of time. Clean up your eating, lots of protein and veggies and water, at least a 20 minute high intensity interval training workout every other day...I think you'll like the results. Just don't weigh yourself like a crazy person...muscle weighs more than fat!

    Good luck! Don't beat yourself up. These look great!

    FutureMrs M - I hear the Carrie Underwood thing a LOT. lol. I don't really see it - other than the blond hair but I honestly have people mention it to me on a weekly basis. lol.

    I can't thank you all enough for your comments today.

    I'm going to hop back on the weight watchers wagon and see if I can lose some weight before my first dress fitting in July. I've done it before, I can do it again. I just have to stick to it.

    I want to love my photos. I'm excited to see the rest of them - I'm hoping that there are a few that I actually like!

    I agree with everyone that you look great, but I understand the body issues. We had ours done yesterday, and I'm really unhappy with how many profile pictures we took. No matter how much weight I lose, from the profile my chin goes straight into my neck. I think my profile looks terrible, so I'm not terribly excited to see our pics either.

    I think you look amazing in that 2nd pic. Your hair and makeup included.

    Lirana - I felt like we took a lot of profile pics too! I'm nervous about those because I have my mom's chin - and from the side, it just looks strange. I hate the way it like dangles off my face. lol.

    I go between really excited to see more and totally dreading it.

    You look amazing... I struggle with my body image as well and I don't like most of our e-pics, but we had a friend do them so I had high hopes and was let down... but you look amazing... and I agree that the pink scarf is a wonderful compliment to your hair and its a nice touch. I wish mine had turned out like yours... they are wonderful. I think of the 100+ pictures our friend took I liked maybe 10... not so good... I can't wait to see more... if you choose to post them!!
