| i agree with TOORS1. i tried on and tried on wedding dresses, not feeling pretty at all...then i found the style/design that was screaming my name! so, when i tried it on, i knew i was still the "fat" me. but am confident about what i'm going to look like in that dress in 6 months....so excited!!

I know how you feel exactly. My mom and I went to this big department store for just summer dresses and she convinced me to go try on a few wedding dresses. One look in the mirror in front of everyone and I had a total Carrie moment from Sex & the City. Where she tries on wedding dresses since she is engaged to Aiden and has a nervous breakdown and starts ripping the dress off and breaks out into a rash.
Of course I was having a meltdown because I looked like a fat cow. And no "you look beautiful" from the women there was going to convince me of that. 280 pounds is NOT pretty!
I want to look at my wedding photos when I get them, not shove them under my bed like all the other photos of me.

| On the bright side, you have come to the best place to help jump start your weight loss AND you have about a year to lose your weight. If you're constantly thinking about the negative, you'll never see the positives in life. You're a very beautiful girl, and your fiance loves you no matter what. I totally understand wanting to look good on your wedding day because it is a very important day in a girls life. That's why I joined this site. There was no way that I was walking down the aisle at the size I was. You just have to have faith in yourself and your abilities. I never in a million years thought I could make it this far, but I did, and you can too! I believe in you :D

I'm exactly the same, have tried a couple of dresses on but i couldn't even look at myself to see if i liked it. I'm getting married next Feb and the lady who makes the dresses told me that the latest i can order it is end of August....so i'm just praying i'll have lost a fair bit by then!
Keep going you can make it! you have to! believe that and it will be a motivation for you!
Take care x

I do understand that you are not wanting to buy a wedding dress just yet however I bought mine when I weighed around 200 pounds and it was very flattering and it made me look quite slim. Now the pressure has been lifted off me .. I will lose some weight but am now not frantically obsessing over it (as long as I don't gain any of course).
Good luck
Toors xx

| I totally understand what you mean!!!! Even though my fiance doesn't mind who wants to not feel comfortable in the way they look on their special day?
