Do my arms look fat??

Kellie, on May 10, 2018 at 12:52 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 34

I feel bad looking for self-validation but I'm insecure about them. I had a goal to lose ten pounds after these pictures were taken, i haven't, and my wedding is next weekend... I must in the time frame of second-guessing everything cause we're so close

    I think you look beautiful. I can understand the frustration, but if you walk down the aisle with confidence everyone will see that gorgeous wedding glow. No one is going to notice anything but how amazing you look and how happy you are!

    I don't think so, but if you do then keep looking for the dress. All you'll see in all your pictures is that your arms looked "fat". You should be 100% confident on your wedding day.

    I think you look beautiful! I'd love to tone up my arms for my wedding (in August) and have plenty of time to do so but I know that I won't actually do anything lol you just gotta rock it and be confident in your body! You look gorgeous! Also you and FH have been together for however long and he chose to marry you as you are!

    You look gorgeous! Only you will notice your arms, no one else will.

    However, I feel the same way about my arms, so I know your pain. Possibly speak to your photographer or go on pinterest to see if there are any poses that would minimize showing your arms.

    I think you look gorgeous and that dress is so pretty! I would personally love to have arms like that instead of being as thin as I am. Don't over think it or second guess yourself!

    I think you great in your dress and you could possibly try to tone your arms if you'd like. Try lifting some weights for the next few days. Hope this helps and congrats!

    I think you look amazing and remember that this photo is only one view of how you look. Do you have other photos from the front and ones you feel better in? I would focus on looking at those pictures instead leading up to your wedding!!!! Congrats your day is almost here!

    Everyone will find something about themselves that they don't like in pictures. The rest of us think you look beautiful. So listen to us Smiley smile

    Your arms look like mine. On a bad day, yes. I think they look bad on me. But I don't notice yours AT all. When I look at my wedding photos I don't see my arms whatsoever, I see how amazing I looked, how my now husband is looking at me, and how much fun I had that day. I don't know if that makes you feel better at all. Smiley smile

    They look fine. We are human and none of us look like Barbie in our dresses. Your dress is gorgeous BTW!

    Your arms look fine. Nobody will look at your arms anyway when they see you in this dress, since they will be focused on your face, smile and the overall look. Also I think a lot of woman here tend to look at their dress pictures and be unhappy about how they look in the picture. In the shop they usually liked the look. The reason is most of them ( and you) take the pics from a bad ankle). But even so you took the pic not in the right way- your arms look perfectly fine.

    Me too! Not gonna lie, I obsessed about mine before, and then when, I got my pictures (my arms and my chin, my god!). I looked only at my arms/chin the first few times and then I (mostly) got over myself. My husband was oohing about how beautiful I was, and so was my family, and so was everybody on here and I just wanted to love my pics so I decided to.

    Just try your hardest not to get distracted about them, because in the scheme of things and with all the gorgeousness that is a bride, no one will notice your arms except you! Congrats and good luck!

    They look great! I think they have a great shape. My arms are my biggest insecurity as well. Something i used to do is rub a ton of lotion on the seran wrap them (not too tight to cut off circulation) then sleep like that. not every night just the night before i wanted them looking slimmer. And theyd sweat so much id lose a good amount of water weight. Yes it is only water weight but if you want them looking slimmer or even just feeling that they do, it totally helps

    You look fine but we all have something we don't like. I hate my arms in pics. Here are a few photos tips that may help (I wish I had done more of these):

    * Stand straight and pull your shoulders back a bit so the upper part of your arm is against/hiding against your body more

    * When holding your bouquet in front of you, pull your arms/elbows back. It's natural to put your arms in front but they look bigger that way. Practice with something in the mirror to see!

    * Sometimes a hand on hip, or your arm wrapped around your spouse's, may change the angle of your arms and make them look smaller.

    * Look at wedding photos online to see how couples stand to get ideas for showing off you/your dress but be able to tuck your arms in a bit. Give them to your photographer.

    Ask your photographer to watch out for this and try to guide you into "skinny arm" poses for your styled photos. Photography can make a world of difference!

    Me and my husbandDo my arms look fat?? 3


    These are my arms. They are fat, with rosacea and moles. They are all mine and I love them. So does my husband.

    Your arms help you get up, they let you write, and feed yourself and bathe yourself. Your arms hold your FH in love. Your arms work, you have both of them, and they are beautiful, just like you.

    Now go get married.
