Having a low moment

We have gym memberships and we rarely go lol It'll be easier for us to go when he isn't in school and working a job with more set hours (In a month!!!!). Then it'll be time to buckle down.

Us brides have to stick together :-))

Thank you very much April. You're quite beautiful yourself

I'm sure I will. I think it was just all of the dresses that I was put in. I hated them all except for one.. and of course there wasn't a single picture taken of me in that one dress lol

First of all, like everyone says, you do look amazing!!But if you are not comfortable/confidence with your body, make it change then!!Eat healthy, do workout, even just run outside for 30 minutes... Do something about it!You still have lots time!!I'm also bad at sticking to the plan, so I know what you mean. For me, what's​ really helping me right now is my fiance.We got the membership at the same gym, and we go together 3-4 days a week now.Whenever I'm lazy, he forces me to go to the gym with him for a reward (pizza, most of the time haha)It could be family, friends, anyone who is willing to workout with you! Having a gym buddy helps a lot! So maybe you can talk to your fiance about it? Do something before complaining about it! You have to work for it! Good luck girl!!

I had a very similar experience at bridal show here 5 weeks ago -- but i gotta tell ya -- ur stunning -- i am not a small girl either -- always struggling with weight bc of hypothyroidism -- and numerous other health issues -- my FH always tells me he loves me and i am stuck with him -- if anyone tells u anything negative -- then they dont belong in your life -- again your stunning :-))

Honestly, you look gorgeous!I know it's hard sometimes to think positively about ourselves. I mean I admit that I am so insanely hard on myself every single day but I can easily see the beauty in everyone and everything about me except for myself.
I truly think you will look flawless on your big day especially if you're wearing the dress you chose and your hair and makeup the way you like. Hopefully then you will feel more confident

I haven't found anything that works for me yet. Good luck with yours

Thanks, Laura. My fiance and I had this exact conversation the other day. I'm not sure I care much about losing a bunch of weight because after the wedding I'd likely gain some of it back, plus I don't want to look completely different for that one day. It was just a low moment. I'm feeling a little better now.

1. You look good. You were the first my eyes went to in the group photo.
2. I feel you. Ive been slowly but steadily gaining wait for the past 8 years and every time I swear I won't anymore, something crazy happens, I get off track, and I'm another 5 lbs in before I can even stand on the scale again. I've recently hired a personal trainer who is helping me work on exercises that will give me the most bang for my time. And I'm trying an elimination diet to see if there's something more specific than that I'm eating too many calories. Food plans are like relationships, none of them work till suddenly one sticks.

Some things to remember.

1. These dresses are not THE dress you picked that you love that was fitted to flatter your body.

2. You were working and not celebrating your wedding so you didn't have the radiating happy glow.

3. In the group photo I had to look to find you as you appear to be about the same size as everyone else.

4. You look amazing and your fiance loves you just as you are.

I am also a bigger person (6'2 and a plus size 22) and while I want to lose weight for my wedding if I don't then I don't and my photos will commemorate the day I married my soulmate and I will love them! You will likely feel the same way about yours!

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I really appreciate it during that tough time. Getting my wedding dress in and seeing how it looked on my body made me feel much better. These dresses didn't suit me and I wasn't happy when wearing them. Plus I'm shy as hell and have a hard time flaunting my stuff in front of hundreds of people I dont know! Thanks again

So key! I try to do this too, but I definitely to keep practising!

Thank you, Emilie. I will for sure.

Thank you Tonii

Jennifer, you look beautiful! You shouldn't be so hard on yourself These pictures look amazing! Let us know what you need to feel good! I think that's what's most important for your big day!

I think you're lovely ☺️

Thanks.

The pictures that I've taken of myself in my dress or that my friend took don't bother me. It was just the whole runway thing I guess, even though this isn't my first time doing this. I've done it for many years. I guess just as of lately I've been feeling a little more down than usual. So much stress happening at work that it makes my brain go bananas.

Thank you for your sweet words. I really appreciate them

Thank you, Lisa. Good luck on your diet!

Sorry you feel that way!

One thing I notice is that in the picture you like from the radio station - you're posture is much better and the dress totally suits you! Practice having good posture and sticking your chin out a little. Everyone looks like crap when they aren't prepared for a picture.

I think you look great! I am not a small girl either and I see myself in photos and even pictures from the day I tried on my dress and I am like omg is this really how fat I look... and then my fh said to me when I was having a low day because I couldnt find anything to wear to his christmas party .. I was at a low low and was crying and said i was fat and was going to look hideous in a dress and even worse in my wedding dress and he told me " i am marrying the person on the inside who is incredily beauitful and sexy and that is what shows through on the outside and I am all that matters not what everyone else thinks.... and with that it made me realize i dont need to impress anyone else i dont need to be skinny or that magazine bride because I never will be! I just need to love myself in my own skin because I have the love of a man who is going to be my forever and loves every inch of me just the way I am ! He loves every lady lump and bump because its what make me me ! and i couldnt love him more for that !

So girl acept your size !!! love all your lady lumps and bumps because you have a man that loves you just the way you are and you should be proud of that ! you look beautiful and dont let anyone tell you differently ! love the skin your in and own it !

Wow you look stunning !!!; And I love your hair!!!! I think you look amazing the way you are but if you want to lose weight, only you can make the decision to change when you are ready! And whatever you do, do it for yourself!!! I know it's hard!!! Admittedly I think most of us struggle with that! I'm trying the Fast Metabolism Diet right now. Supposed to restart your metabolism! I'm a week and a half in so let's see!

Omg you look amazing!!! (And not related but I love those lighted trees lol). And I only speak the truth! It's good to have some unobtrusive opinions from stranger Internet random help you see things you might have forgotten for a min. That picture is just gorgeous though!

You're the best lol you're making me feel much better. Here's the newest picture I found.

Not ONLY 3lbs... you're DOWN 3LBS!!!! Well see! You obviously looked good! Just maybe a photographer that had not so great timing (though I don't see an issue in these pictures)

Thank you ❤️ I really appreciate your kind words. I love how everybody on this site is so sweet to one another. I was on another previous to finding wedding wire and the girls are ridiculous to one another.

Thank you so much. Im trying my hardest. I have lost weight (only 3lbs but it is a start). One of the radio stations in town just posted another picture of myself and the owner of the shop when I was live modeling at the booth and it's pretty decent. Makes up for the other ones lol

Hey hun, I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling so down I know I also tend to attack myself when I see photos of myself, which my FH gets upset at me for because he thinks I am crazy to think those things!

I have to say that I don't see a sweaty face or anything you mentioned; I really like your makeup, and I personally like your hair! I also see that a white dress suits your skin tone, and I like the shape of the first dress on you too. I am not saying to not make those changes like you mentioned, in fact I encourage it, but start with small goals that are achievable!! It is important to work on ourselves to feel better in our skin. We have to love ourselves before we can allow someone else love us the way we deserve, otherwise, their compliments or attention won't ever be fully appreciated! Let us accompany you and help you through this, we're here for each other! Rant away

I definitely have days like that to, where you just look in the mirror and only see flaws. But objectively you look so beautiful! That wedding dress looks fantastic on you. And you are rocking that bridesmaids dress (though that shade of pink is not my favorite). Try not to let it get you down, it's just a bad day. I know I like to wallow for a day when I'm down and nothing anyone can say will snap me out of it.... but you look amazing! I wouldn't even have the guts to model dresses! Maybe work on a small goal to feel like you're moving in a positive direction. Eat an extra servings of veggies each day or skip the drive-thru one night or get in an extra glad of water every day this week. Take pleasure in everyday victories, be they big or small, because a step in the right direction should be celebrated
