Dress insecurity

I am getting married In a few days and I am feeling very nervous about how I look in my dress. I gained around 15 lbs after I quit smoking and I’ve been trying to lose it for about a year and a half, but my weight has been a total up down uphill battle that whole time. I love my dress it is totally what I imagined it being, but I also imagined myself being in the most kickass shape of my life on my wedding day and that is not going to materialize. I am 5 5 and 130 lbs, my boobs are also HUGE and I feel like that makes me look heavier. I keep looking at these pictures and nit picking my body and thinking that I don’t look good and it’s just causing me a lot of stress. I think I look like a fat little girl. Am I the only girl that feels this way and no matter what is just so harsh of a critic? Is it normal to feel so fat all the time? Help! Lol

We can be our harshest critics. Every bride is a beautiful bride, just as everyone is beautiful. We're all different, but that's what makes us unique! You deserve to feel confident and be the queen you are on your wedding day and always. Love yourself - you deserve it

I agree with PP - we can be our worst critic sometimes. I came across this quote/saying here. You're beautiful and on your wedding day you'll definitely be beautiful because you'll be basked in love.

Hey there.
I’m really sorry to read how you’re struggling. We’re all really our own worst critic and it’s normal to feel insecure.
I adore the quote Melle shared.
Your FS is marrying you for you and probably wouldn’t care if you choose to wear a trash bag! We all strive for an ideal of perfection that just doesn’t exist. You are perfect just the way you are
Try to be kinder to yourself

Ok story time...

I totally i have pictures on my wedding day, where i was laughing not holding my stomach in posing... i initially cringed and was like maybe i should have been more bridezilla about the whole day, pictures, and my look....then i realized i've been blessed to get older, be alive, and what was i to do - postpone my small wedding until i magically drop 40lbs (returning to my college weight) ..........OR
I could just look at these pictures with love and say I these pictures are of pure joy and happiness in the moment.... what's better than that.
