My weight before my wedding

Lauren, on August 8, 2024 at 2:04 AM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 4
I didn’t think I’d ever write anything on here but seeing all the discussions made me want to vent a little and share my current feelings. My wedding is in a week and for a long time now I have had a hard time accepting that I’ve gained weight. It’s been over a year+ that I’ve been wanting to do something about it and always said I want to look “perfect” for my wedding for pics, for myself and my future husband. Now I’m a week away and I feel like I’m not a beautiful bride. I see pictures of so many brides and they’re all so beautiful to me because their body looks great, the dress looks amazing and they make it look good.. yet with myself I look in the mirror even in such a beautiful gown that I have, I can’t see myself as beautiful. All I see is that I’m not in shape and my arms are chubby and my face is round.. etc. I think why did I waste all this time and didn’t try hard enough and other factors played in too; stress, hormonal imbalance, not trying hard enough, not being consistent. I guess I’m just ranting but I also want to know..
how do I accept my body right now or accept that this is my weight for the best day of my life and the most memorable day I’ll probably ever have and I may not be 100% happy with pictures and my body on my day? How do I accept this is my body right now and I can’t do anything at this point for the wedding? I’m a stressed bride right now lol but this has been on my mind … anyone relate at all?

    Easier said than done but stressing will make you feel worse, and flushed. I would focus on the moment. The wedding cannot be changed at this point so it is a matter of loving you.

    If your future husband had an issue you'd know. Dont worry about guests, they are just that and no one will judge you.

    Most importantly, love and accept yourself. You are beautiful and blessed enough to get married Smiley smile

    Enjoy the moment, dont stress about what could have been.

    All the best Lauren.

    Before my wedding, I was focused on maintaining a healthy weight and feeling my best for the big day. Like many brides, I wanted to look and feel confident, so I paid extra attention to my diet and exercise routine. While I didn't stress over the number on the scale, I aimed to tone up and stay fit. With a balanced approach, I managed to reach a weight that made me feel happy and energized for my wedding day, focusing more on well-being than just weight loss. It was all about feeling great inside and out!

    Imagine how your future husband will see you on your wedding day. To him, you will be exciting because of who you are and what this day means, not because of comparison to someone else.

    Hey beautiful ! I just wanted to share something that’s helped me so much. I’ve been working with a coach named Harry, and he’s made the whole fitness journey before my wedding feel so simple and manageable.

    The fact that he was able to make an effective plan for me, but it also fit PERFECTLY with my busy schedule.

    Hiis tik tok is @vvstraining_an 💕

    He helped me so much — and I hope this helps in any way. 🤍
