Afraid of not feeling beautiful on my Day.

I'm so afraid that I'm going to have little scabs all over my face because I'm a face picker - it's a gross, bad habit, I know. My skin is hardly ever clear. I'm going to have to try really hard to not touch my face leading up to the wedding.

Kinda worried about my hair too. It's always frizzy and full of static. Hopefully getting my hair done will help with that one.

Did you get your dress yet? There are so many different styles that are flattering on bigger girls. You just have to find the one that you feel beautiful in.

I'm worried about my teeth I bought a corset so I can feel comfortable with my body (always had that insecurity) but I have braces on right now to fix my overbite and had my two upper premolars pulled so I have big gaps on the side. They are moving everything back now and they said the gaps MIGHT be filled by September but they can't be sure Doesn't help that every time I look in the mirror now not only do I have metal teeth, but the gap between my front teeth is getting wider and wider from them having to move everything around.

I think everyone goes through the same thing in every day life. However, you need to remember that the FH loves every inch of you. Find a beautiful dress, makeup you feel amazing in it, and I promise you will be glowing!

When I got my engagement pictures all I could see was muffin top and huge arms. But I've been getting lots of compliments, so people either don't notice our imperfections or don't care. I think most of us are way too critical of ourselves.

No matter what, I'm sure you will be gorgeous on your wedding day, you'll have your bride glow!Your FH clearly thinks you're beautiful, and that's all that matters :o)

I know that's all that matter that he thinks i'm the most beautiful girl in the world. I just can't help but wonder what other people think you know? I already bought my dress and when i tried it on i felt so beautiful, exactly liek a princess. Belle to be exact . I jsut worry about my double chin and arms so much.. I'll probably feel much better when my day gets closer and i get to wear my dress for alteratons and it should soothe my worries. Ugh.. to be a girl sometimes haha

I am 43 with two beautiful daughters 23 and 21, I am overweight with low self esteem. I too am worried. I have been doing zumba and going to the weight dr. for two months now. I have lost 15lbs so far. If I could lose at least 20 but would like to shed 40 in 135 days that would be great. I have been with my FH for 5 years, I have gained almost 50lbs since we have been together. Like everyone else says. He really doesn't seem to mind. I know he stills loves me or he would have never ask to marry me like this. I myself know that when I look at the pictures I will wish that I worked harder to get more weight off. But even if I lost 50lbs I am still going to say that. because us women are NEVER happy with our weight. You yourself look in the mirror and see every single flaw there is. My FH has imperfections that he is always pointing out but I never notice them. He is worried about them just as I am mine. But if I don't notice his then maybe he doesn't notice mine. : )

Speaking of gaining weight during the relationship, me and my FH have been together for 6 years now and have both together gained 40 lbs.. At least we werent alone in our little climb. lol Just a side note

@Christina & @Michella--- haha, yeah, I have gained weight since getting with my FH too. I hadn't been as active. We both got bothered by it a few months back though and have been exercising and eating healthier than we were before and now I feel so much better about myself. FH didn't have to work very hard though...he's one of those guys that does a few push ups and looks ripped afterwards...jerk lol. But maybe you could try and lose weight together? I found it was easier becuase he would be there to help keep me on the path and now im little again.

@Elisa--- I have the same concern haha, only I'm not the one that picks them. FH attacks my face at night before bed, he says he wants to keep me looking beautiful lol. He complains when I try to get his though, go figure haha.

My FH hasn't gained weight. But he was a big muscle man when we met, he got really sick a couple years ago and lost alot of muscle mass and 50lbs, He looked very sickly. He went to several Dr., they couldn't find the problem but I got on the internet put his symtoms in and whalla I found his problem. His gallbladder quit working. He had the operation and has since gained his weight back but still has some kinda attack after he eats. ANYWAY back to the weight. I told him to stay on me with the diet I am on. He is very good about it, he doesn't "push" me just nudges a little. He is so afraid of making me made because it's such a sensitive subject with us females. I have been doing great with eating right, excercising and taking my perscriptions the dr. gave me. Christina, I think that if you love your dress and think you look beautiful in it. Then find someone really good for your hair and makeup. That will make a big difference n your pictures

I am afraid that my photographer will not be able to take side pictures of me because my nose is soooo big. Looking forwards it doesn't look big, but too the side.... WOW... my italian really shows!

I think what you need to think about is the fact that your FH is going to think you look beautiful NO MATTER WHAT... and he loves you just the way you are!

If you think you need to lose weight then maybe you should decide to find a healthy way to do so...(I think curves are a good thing) i wish I could find a way to make my nose smaller, without going through a horrible proceedure!

Christina you look beautiful! us girls need to stop putting so much pressure on our self to look a certain way...

but I am very guilty of it my self I am 5'3 167lbs (people tell me I look about 150)

I work out hour at the gym along with doing INSANITY (workout video from beach body) plus I will play tennis or basket ball. I will do great and get down to 162 then I have a couple of bad days as far as eating and jump right back up..

the hole time I have been planning my wedding I get this image that i want to be 130 125 120....but thats what I was when i was in 16...I am 24 now and If I got down to that will I ever stay at that weight probably not...its just a suckey feeling ....

now I just want to be at a healthier weight not just thinner...
