Over it; Feeling kind of down

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with all of that! I can relate to the weight part, I’m 40 days out and didn’t lose any of the weight I hoped I would 😞 but we’re still going to look AMAZING in our dresses and we get to be married! Keep your head up beautiful!

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I actually feel kind of better after getting that out! I’m certain you will be beautiful as well

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way 🙁 it sounds like you both have been through a LOT though, so don’t be too hard on yourself! You will look amazing no matter what because you found the love of your life and get to make that big commitment to them!! Let your happiness shine through and I promise you, everyone will see how beautiful you truly are and nobody will notice the weight you didn’t lose 😊.

It's normal to feel over wedding stressors. There's nothing you can do about the past and I'm really sorry that you and your fiance both went through some stressful stuff. However you have a few months to be really strict about your weight loss goals. As of today I would just go cold turkey follow a very strict yet healthy eating routine and start working out as well because healthy eating and exercise will definitely help shed the pounds quickly. You got this and you're going to feel so great when your day comes and you will look beautiful no matter what.

Your FH is marrying you for the you today, not the one who will be, “showing it off” - Remember he’s in love the current you and loves every one of your curves just the way you are.


Moreover, it’s your damn honeymoon, flaunt it and love it! You’ll never see those people again, just love who you are and the person you are with your FH, because I promise you he’s not going to be saying, “I wish you would’ve lost those 5lbs it would’ve made this honeymoon so much better” - Girl, he’s with you, the one he loves, the one he vowed his life to into front of family and friends, he sees your true beauty and it’s NOT skin deep. Just wear what you want to wear and love it!

For some odd reason I read it as a few months a way lol. I am sorry.You had a lot come up and you know what I am sure everyone will think you look beautiful no matter what. Don't stress the small stuff and enjoy the beauty of the wedding itself. I hope it will be a good time.

That is a lot to deal with. I understand. I lost my Dad in the middle of my planning and gained a lot of weight. One quick thing you could probably do to help with a few pounds is a detox. There is a book that is very inexpensive called the 10 Day Smoothie Detox Cleanse by JJ Smith that is really good. It was helpful for me. I didn't do 10 days, I did 5 days and lost 7lbs. I will do it again right before my wedding to lose a couple more. Hopefully this can help for you. I few people I know have done this and the most I've known for someone to lose is 15lbs. I hope this works. Don't feel down. Like you said, "You are Beautiful. Hold your head up like the Queen you are.

SHOW IT OFF!!! You are beautiful. He will love every inch of you.

I feel you on that one. I am four months out and I am a total emotional and stress eater. I have been yo-yoing with weight for sure.

I am positive you are going to look absolutely stunning. And you'll have that wedding glow all through your honeymoon.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. We all need to learn to love ourselves more!! I wanted to lose some weight before the wedding too, but I didn't get to my goal. I was upset with myself at first, but then FH pointed out that I'm working my butt off, just started a new job, my father is dying, so much of my free time is spent with him, I take care of everyone else in my life basically, to my own detriment! And that's not even counting ALL the wedding planning that I've been doing mostly alone. So, once he pointed out all the things going on in my life, I felt a bit better about not having time or energy to work on improving my body. He also pointed out that he loves me just the way I am! That made me feel a lot better!

You will be a beautiful bride, no matter what size you are!!! Remember FH already loves you! Now you need to work on loving yourself!! Your day will be amazing! You're almost there!!

Doesn’t matter. End goal is to be married at the end of the day!

Aw girl sorry. We are in the same boat. The thing is my body is a little weird when It comes To losing weight. Sometimes I can do almost everything “right” and eat clean and workout really hard and not lose the weight. I also didn’t fully take things seriously in the right timing i ended up starting to workout in November so its been 3months and I definitely needed more time. My dress fits me almost perfectly because I ordered up a size and I actually gain muscle in my lower body easily. I really wanted my problem areas to look better but they dont. I also recently bought some outfits for my honeymoon and I feel big.


Now i have 1 month to go. I still want to try to lose a little weight but now I have to be extra careful because if my legs get bigger my dress wont fit.

Sorry that you had so much on your shoulders!! Sending you hugs 🤗 Feeling a little over things myself so I understand. My fiancé went through surgery while still living in another state and I hated that I couldn’t be there with him, even though he tells me I worry about him too much 😊 Between that and him moving here across country (and drama with the moving company!) plus stress at work, it’s been crazy. He is arriving here tomorrow and will be taking over some of this wedding stress which has put almost 12 pounds on me. 😢 I’m determined to get it off by the 28th which is our wedding day. He’s the calm one and I need that so much!!

Pounds don't matter as much as the glow you'll have and the smile on your face when you dance the night away and leave the reception for your honeymoon. You've earned the vacation so enjoy the fact that you successfully put a wedding together (which I'm quickly learning is quite a challenge). Weight comes and goes, but the look you'll have when you're first married is once in a lifetime. Now that's instagram-worthy!

Oh honey,

I am sorry for the losses that you and your FH have experienced recently. That being said, I completely understand where you are right now, and I have been feeling the exact same way. While my situation is slightly different, (I'm working full-time, and part-time, working on my BS in nursing, and trying to plan this wedding), I too had the goal of losing weight and was not successful in losing even 1 pound, despite working out for the past year. I know nothing I say can change the way you feel, but please know that you are not alone, that your FH thinks you are beautiful, and that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. You do not need to be a size 0 or 4 to be beautiful, you need to be confident. Be confident that despite all of the emotional upset that you have had in your lives recently, you have supported each other and stayed strong together. Go enjoy your wedding and your honeymoon beauty, you will never get this chance again.

Blessings and support from a fellow stressed out bride,

Kristin
