This post is kind of my little rant and rave around the dieting dilema for soon to be brides. The typical, "I want to fit into my size 3 wedding dress on my wedding day" mindset often finds it's way to even the most confident of women. Well I'm here to say that I've caught this disease too. I started my pre-wedding diet last week. July 23rd, 2012. I've given myself roughly about 10 months to shed as much weight as possible. I believe the key is to not be too unrealistic to what you can obtain and to choose a healthy diet. (Crash diets DO NOT WORK!)
I don't expect to look like a Victoria's Secret model, but I do expect to look good! I really want to feel and look gorgeous on my wedding day. I want my husband to be to glow when he see's me walking down the aisle! I want to be able to look back at my wedding pictures and think, "wow, I looked beautiful". With that said all I can do is hold on to the hope, and keep going with the determination. Keep letting my wedding motivate me and learn that a diet is not only to lose weight and get healthy, but to actually adopt a completely new lifestyle.
So keep calm, don't stress and learn to love to be active. Choose things you enjoy doing like: hiking, biking, wii, gym, dance, running around with your kids, yard work, etc. Find something, choose anything that will keep you active and moving. I'm working on it daily, sometimes I struggle because I'm human and it's HARD but at the end of the day I'm still "TRYING"!
