Well I am officially admitting that I have dress regret. I went with my parents in October 2019 and tried on five different dresses. I picked this one and felt really good in it and even said to myself, this is it! My parents loved it and it was more affordable than we thought! $1200! I am a really active person - work out 5 days a week, lift, cardio, dance, the whole nine. I am not super strict with dieting but began doing so and said I know the dress will look even better on me once I lose just a little bit a of weight. That entire thought I think was my downfall. The dress is already very close in my size and well I tried it on last night and I hate it. I felt terrible, insecure, it was tighter in portions of my body that I thought I had lost weight in.
Felt defeated. Being quarantined obviously is not helping and with the gym being closed, I've been creating my home gym. I am also stressing because what if I don't lose the weight or if it is just my body type. I am looking at two dresses from Lulus, which I had initially wanted to go for but my mom was really wanting something more elegant. I agree - it is my wedding day! But my mom also made suggestions as well on the day of my purchase and that was that she thought I looked beautiful BUT she suggested maybe getting something I would have a little wiggle room in so that I would be comfortable.
I was feeling cocky and confident and said I'll be fine. I know I will look good when I tone up. I wish I listened. Is this normal?! I cannot return my dress - it is final sale. But like AM I CRAZY!!
My plan is to really diet even harder, only do cardio and also buy a backup dress off of Lulu's and then see how I'm feeling come May...or June.
