Hah same I actually got healthier after my wedding because the stress was gone
Thanks for sharing! I’m also planning a n getting on a more regular workout schedule afterwards just because it’s crazy with work and wedding planning

some people think their wedding day is a big performance instead of a day they marry their partner
I love this! Always a good reminder about what actually matters on your wedding day ❤️

It’s diet culture. I know people who crash dieted for their wedding and now whenever they look back on pictures, all they think about is how skinny they were and how they aren’t that anymore. I just want to look happy! But I’ve gained about 20 pounds in the past 18 months with no explanation and I do feel like there’s a deadline for me to lose weight. I’ve been fighting it, but diet culture is so pervasive.
Thank you for sharing! I also just want to look happy and feel good. Can’t stand people who project their own insecurities on others. My fiancé makes me feel the most beautiful woman and that’s all it matters at the end of the day. Wishing you all the best on your wedding day! 🤗
If you feel good in your skin that’s what matters most. I have lost 45 lbs so far but was obese and felt horrible in my skin. Hated the way I looked and felt.
I feel so much better and still got about 15 lbs to lose.
All that matters is how you feel
This should be the attitude! Don’t change anything if you don’t want to. My wedding is next month, but I moved out of the states to a country where booze is super pricey so I’m pretty sober adjacent now, and I found a weight lifting gym I really love and have been at that a lot. I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been. Every time I call my mother, she complains that I’m getting too thin. You really cannot win either way.
Diet culture and patriarchy. The notion that being smaller equates to being “the most beautiful you’ve ever been” is genuinely absurd. I do not intend on changing anything about my body for my wedding. Happiness is beautiful. Healthiness is beautiful. A rationale brain from having sufficient nutrient intake is beautiful.
You have every right to set boundaries with people around you - from family to a dress shop owner - that they may not comment on your body or weight.
I feel the same exact way. I have very similar measurements to you, and I’m happy the way I am!
Are we the same exact person?! We are basically the same measurements and I keep get comments from my own family urging me to stop eating bread, sugar, etc. so wild.
Do whatever makes you comfortable and happy. I'm getting married in 4 months and I'm consistently working out, because its the one day of my life where I have professional photographers and videographers, so I want to look the best that I can be, those photos/videos are going to be forever. I don't think there would ever be a time where I would have professional video/photography so I would love to make the most of it. After my wedding, I plan on having multiple children and it is also a huge benefit to be fit before pregnancy and it'll be a little easier (not easy) to lose the weight after the fact. I'm happy with the way I look now, but for my wedding I just want to look extra snatched/hot hehe just a perspective from someone who wants to put in the work without anyone telling me to do so lol but....BIG BUT I'm not gonna kill myself doing so i.e. starving, excessive workouts, juice diets...no thank you!
