Most women planning a wedding seem to want to lose weight!
2009 has been a massive year for weddings amongst people I know and 2010 doesn’t seem to be letting up either. Weddings are an extremely stressful event in a person’s life because they inevitably require a huge amount of thought and organisation if you’re aiming to wed anywhere else other than Vegas. It’s not just the bride who contemplates losing weight, the bridesmaids, the mothers of the happy couple and even fathers and grooms go on a weight loss journey to look their best in the photographs. After all, most people enter into marriage not expecting to get another wedding day so they work really hard to make their wedding day something never to be forgotten.
Weddings are an excellent reason to lose weight
Everyone wants to look amazing in their wedding photos
Your wedding photos will potentially haunt you for the rest of your life. My parents married 26 years ago, my mother in a navy suit and my father had permed hair! They can’t change fashions of the past which is partly why they only have a very small photo of their wedding tucked away in a glass cabinet.
Years later, everyone looks back and asks ‘what was I thinking?!’ regarding their clothes but there is nothing more heartbreaking than looking back and thinking ‘I could have looked so much better if I had made the effort’.
Only you can make that decision to change your diet so you can look your best when you get to live out the girlhood dream of marrying the man of your dreams. Seize the opportunity to change your lifestyle to one that will keep you slim and healthy for life.
And for here is a picture of me for your amusement…
Slimmer days - I modeled my sister's wedding dress for her to put it on ebay last year.
I wanted to lose weight for my wedding, sadly I gained and barely fit in my dress.
A friend of mine just emailed me one of your articles from a while back. I read that one a few more. Really enjoy your blog.
My older sister had the same problem Robin, she had to buy a completely new dress! It absolutely heartbreaking, particularly when you find the dress of your dreams. I’ve told my boyfriend that I won’t eat for a whole month before we get married (not sure when but I’m holding out for 2012 although he doesn’t know yet so shhhh!!)
Mike, I couldn’t publish your full comment but if you want to email me through the contact form (I did try and email you with the address you left but I had a failure notification) I’d be happy to talk with you further.
