Fat arms

First, you look amazing! Second, I would google arm toning workouts for shoulder injury. Third, just be direct with your mom. Tell her how you feel about your own body image. Ultimately, people will say a myriad of things that are off-putting, but how you feel is what matters!

Your arms look fine! I would not waste one more minute worry about that. I'd strive for health more than looks. There are plenty skinny people that are super unhealthy.

If you had just posted these pictures saying that you found your dress, I would have never noticed anything about your arms and I'm fat. Your dress looks great on you, as you are. If you want to work on your arms, do it but do because you want to. Your mother of all people should realize how hurtful comments like that can be. I'm sorry your feelings got hurt and I am sure she means well but you need to tell her that comments like that are hurtful to you and that it wont magically make any changes she thinks you need happen overnight.

Um, you and your arms look absolutely, totally fine.

If you want to tone your arms for you (and not just because of your mom's comment) I can say that I've been going to Boxfit (combo of boxing and kickboxing) for almost 2 years now and I actually have muscles for the first time like, ever. Some of the moves might aggravate your shoulder, but if you tell the instructor about it I'm sure they could help you modify so that it doesn't.

You look great!! Ahh I love your dress!

My mother is always on me about trying to stick to my diet and tighten up before the wedding too. <_< I feel like it might be a mom thing. Especially since I told her that I wanted to lose some weight and so. I feel like they're just trying to keep us on track and it's all out of love.

Girl, your arms are not fat and that dress is gorgeous on you! I don't have any good arm workouts. Any weight I pick up makes my elbows hurt.

Moms really know how to go straight for the jugular, don't they? Jeez, I know it's hard, as the one person we often seek approval from is our mom. But let me tell you right now, you look BEAUTIFUL!!! Love your dress, and if you hadn't said anything about arms, I wouldn't have even noticed. I think someone else said the same thing!

I am self conscious about my arms as well, so this kind of comment would hit me like a punch in the gut.

If you really want to tone your arms a bit, go ahead and do that. But don't do it because of what mom said. She's obviously facing her own body issues, and shouldn't be projecting them onto you. You are a beautiful woman!

Seriously? I wish I had your "fat" arms! Ok, I shouldn't put myself down, but I didn't notice anything about your arms. You look awesome. Pay her no attention.
