The Incredible Shrinking Bride

When I became engaged the first thing i did was going on what i like to call the "bride diet" which consisted of slim fast and rice cakes. this lasted for about a week and then I said "screw it!" because i will be me on my day. i'm 130 pounds and look find. i like my booty and dont need to be a sze 0 to be beautiful. my personality and inner strength has always shined through and it will on my big day. this is just one step in a long life and i have so many other things to worry about.

My wedding day is six months from now and the first thing I did was pick out my dress to hide the chicken pock scars on my arms and back. Sure I could lose five pounds, but I would never starve myself to look thin. If you have months before your wedding then you have time to work out and change your unhealthy eating habits. I know that I will never look like the models on the cover of all the bridal magazines no matter what I do, so why worry? I am 5???3??? but I love my curves and the skin I am in because I know that I am loved. If he loves me now then I know he will love me on our wedding day and the days after that because I am not trying to be someone that I will never be. Be yourself and love who you are!

A wedding is one day, based on the plan for the future, don't mess it up by worrying about stupid things! Instead of wasting money on your VANITY, because no one will remember (we don't), donate to a charity where you can really make a difference in someone life. People spend 10-500K on a wedding and when it is over it is over, with divorce rates sky rocketing (the wedding sometimes is the precurser) it would be better to send some of that cash towards a good cause instead. Trust me, the people or cause you help is HAPPY and LOVES you just the way you are, just lie the rest of us do!

if you were fat when you met your future husband, and you want to loose weight for the wedding. And if you are one of the unlucky ones, you will gain all that weight back or ever more...and now what are you going to do? you gonna tell yourself: DAMN it i need to loose this weight! When i married my husband I was skinny and now he is gonna think i'm no longer attractive!....SHOOT! i feel sorry for you!

I've never really understood the insanity behind weddings. I just got married back in June and for the most part I wasn't really worried about it. I wore my sisters dress which meant more to me than spending my parents money to get my own and we had a simple, small ceremony in our church's backyard. It was inexpensive, but still nice. Besides it's the MARRIAGE that matters after it's all said and done...not the wedding.

Whoo hoo lose weigh for wedding. but after u get married your will gain back. IF try eat healthy and normal walk everyday. as normal life. but after get married your life will change!!! If man married you tht way you are. my husband married me tht way i am are. i have no stress when my wedding day.. i feel perfect and peaceful not panic over my weight or etc. important is is your wedding not for people look at you must lose weight. Mosimportantn is your wedding

This is disgusting. While some models are women, not all women are models. And that is okay! That is reality! HELLO OUT THERE!!! I have faith that our nation is better than the celebrities that portray characters that are actually written by artists- but who gets the "awards"? The celebrities! Writers and other real gifted people who aren't judged on their looks need to be brought to the forefront. I relish the day People magazine puts a writer on their cover-

The man who proposed to you loves you for who you are. Why would you want to change for everyone else?

The person who proposed to you loves you for who you are so why would you want to change who you are for everyone else?

women are crazy....30 k for one day is outrageous

women are crazy...it is one day

women are crazy

women are crazy

I disagree with Angelino that this is "normal" behavior, for a bride or anyone else. It is unhealthy, full stop. I suspect that because (1) weddings are such a big industry and (2) all the cultural baggage tied up with a woman getting married, our society seems to sanction/excuse what is fundamentally sick behavior. I say this just having been married in the last year, and watching one of my closest friends who married the month before me put herself near hospitalization because of her "normal" bride food restrictions. I agree with the earlier posting: it's not worth it. One solution to stop the insanity--quit reading all those bride magazines!

I agree to a certain extent with mklogun. What people value as beautiful varies from person to person. But at the same time I don't believe people should lose control of their health and gain 50+ pounds just because they believe "true beauty" comes from within. The reality of it is that much of the US population, along with some other parts of the world, has come to except being out of shape, over weight and generally unhealthy. Perhaps women wanting to back on the healthy track in time for their wedding day ins't such a bad thing.Perhaps women trying to get bac

This is all normal Bride Behavior. It all goes away (sort of) after the nuptials. You have to have been a bride to understand it.
