Planning ahead

Morning mate,

Firstly you ARE an extremely attractive girly WITHOUT shedding the pounds....don't forget that!

Secondly, aim to be happy and healthy first and slimmer second.

Enjoy making a fuss of your chap-he will love you even more for living life with him than being a stone or so lighter for your Wedding.

You CAN do this.

"Firstly you ARE an extremely attractive girly WITHOUT shedding the pounds....don't forget that!!

I totally agree with Ruth SV you are. You are about the same weight as me too sept I am very much an hour glass.

Although for health reasons would be good to get to grips with your need to eat and reduce your weight I bet you husband to be loves you shape, most men after all prefer women with curves. Did you see the BBC programe "Secrets of the Sexes"? The second programe on Attraction was very enlightening men like Bums and boobs and a good hip weight ratio. Which like me, you have is a little larger over all than the average.

You are both too kind!!!

Thanks for saying such nice things. Mr SV does love me the way I am, it just gets me so upset that I can't wear nice clothes, I'm restricted to what fits in the 'big girl' shops and it just does my head in that so much of it is so frumpy (and expensive)

Also, we're investing so much time, money and thught into the wedding, it seems a shame to not make an effort to look my best for the wedding pics!

I know exactly what you mean on the clothes front I have that problem too :S

Arhhh, now yes, I can understand the comment about the clothes and the wedding expense, BUT believe me this wedding is too precious.Fretting over a stone here and there is not going to help you enjoy the moment......

so, I will allow you to "weight worry" until November 30th, then it must stop!!!

I was 2 stone more than I wanted to be for my wedding day. That was 2 years ago now. I felt fat and frumpy and just wanted to hide. Half way through the reception, I looked up and saw my beautiful husband with this look of complete adoration on his face...all for me. I saw my very poorly Dad having a joke with my baby girl and watched my best friend share a pudding with my son-then collapse in a tipsy heap!! I realised that all these people thought I looked O.K and were sharing in my happiness-it just kinda put things into perspective. I now wish I could do it all again, but without the negative thoughts about the size of my backside/tummy or arms!!!

I bought my husband that Thorntons cake for his birthday last month - he's not a big cake fan but I loved it! and my excuse was that you have to have a cake on a birthday and it was actually the smallest cake in the supermarket.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hope you don't mind me adding this to your blog - I always enjoy your writing - wish I could express myself as fluently as you.

Best of luck with the eating plans.
