For all the brides trying to look

I was looking back through my pictures & came across some old pictures of myself & about had a cow!! I've been trying since May of 09 to lose weight for the big day!! I had bought my dress at the very beginning of 09 (see story for why so early), it fit like a dream! Well I started night school & obviously when your out late you are hungry & you eat...well I ate & ate!! I wound up gaining a lot of weight on top of my already overweight status! So in May of 09 I tried my dress on for the fun of it! When it wouldn't zip I freaked! Well for those of you struggling to lose weight & feel like the perfect bride, dont! You don't have to be the perfect bride, just HIS bride!! My FH told me whether I was 250 or 150 he didn't care!! That's what matters!! But with all his love & support (& the thought that I would have to buy another dress if I didn't lose the weight) I started to "eat healthy" & take care of myself! So I've attached a before & after picture! The one with 2 in it are my befores & the other one is my after!! I'm down 30 lbs & feel so great!! Obviously without the love & support of my handsome & sweet FH & God I never would have been able to do it! I hope that this inspires someone!

His Bride No Matter The LBS!

WOW! You look great! I am trying to lose 50 lbs by april 17th. That is when we are gettin married and it is so hard!! The whole family is on a diet with me. I love them for supporting me and doing it with  me but its just so hard. I have dieted my whole life and when you do it that long it just gets boaring and you dont wanna do it anymore and plus my family is all about cooking fried foods and good ole' southern home cooking. WEll we all know its not good for you. But you did just inspire me and im gonna kick it into over drive and fight this weight!!! great job!!

Thanks ladies! & pinkdamaskbride2010 I know exactly where you are coming from! I have dieted my whole life! But I just got it in my mind that it wasn't a diet, it was a healthier way to better my life! I didn't look at it like I was starving (which I wasn't) but looked at it from the aspect that I would be healthier & live a longer life, a longer life to spend with my FH!! && that's awesome about ur families support!! Keep it up! You can do it!! gratefulbride & tashasita, thank you for all the wonderful and kind encouraging words!! I pray that everything works out for all of you brides as it has been with me!! God is sooo good!

Thank you everyone! To answer to question about how...Its quite simple! I chose to eat 6 meals a day: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and a snack. Obviously not huge meals, portioned. I didn't eat after 7pm & no fast food, or processed stuff. Walking!!! No sodas or caffiene!! Mainly water! That's really about it! Tons of fruit and vegetables!
