Wedding Body goals?🤔🙂😇

I've had issues with eating my entire life. Before I met my FH, I struggled with anorexia and bulimia, and weighed practically nothing (being in an unhealthy relationship played a part). I hated my body then because I didn't feel like a woman, but I was also afraid to eat. After meeting my FH, I found myself in a great mental & emotional space and my relationship with food got better. BUT I didn't control my eating and I gained a bit. After our engagement, and trying on dresses, I realized that I really needed to get my health and weight under control, so we drastically changed our eating habits and go to the gym 4 days a week.

I was big into dieting and tracking calories and it never worked for me, but this time I'm just controlling my portions, and swapping certain things for healthier alternatives. It's all about balance, NOT eliminating, which is what I needed. I've also learned to not focus too much on the # the scale shows. I've stayed around the same weight range for the past few weeks, but I can tell my body has changed due to how my clothes fit. I'm not just losing fat (losing weight), but I'm gaining muscle, so I can't expect the # on the scale to drop drastically lol. I was getting discouraged, but tried my reception dress on 2 weeks ago, which was very snug at the salon, and it needs taking in!! So I'm pumped that I'm seeing results after being discouraged so many times throughout my weight loss journey.

At this point, I'm working on keeping a healthy lifestyle, and becoming stronger!

Congratulations on going after your vision! I fully support women making their best decisions for their own bodies. I had my eyebrows microbladed this week and am finally finishing my invisalign-- things I've thought about for years. Nothing like an arbitrary deadline to push you along. COVID and other health issues made my fitness journey almost non-existent. I considered training like it was an athletic competition (which I'm used to), but I realized I didn't want that look for my wedding. I don't want be more vain than I already am, and certainly not insecure for the first time. haha. My goal is to be fit enough for 4 hours on the dance floor with my loved ones.

Congratulations on the successful breast augmentation!

Thank you!!☺️

I would ideally like to lose around 25 pounds but I'm not putting pressure on myself. I am comfortable with how I currently look and I don't feel unhealthy. I do want to finish my invisalign, and I'm going to pay for professional teeth whitening treatments, but other than that I'm not planning on anything.
