How did I get so BIG!!!

How did I get so BIG??!?!?!? I asked myself that very question the day I went shopping with my FH and my MOH for a dress for the my fiances cousin's wedding this upcoming Saturday(01/09.10). As, I was trying on dresses in the fitting room anything and everything I picked out was to small(thinking i was my normal size 10) or I did'nt like the way it fit. I have always been a size 8-10 ever since high school, granted I have gained a couple lbs but idealy I have always really fit into a 10. So when a 10 jeans became a size 12 jeans, a size 10 dress became a size 12 dress to almost fitting into a size 14 I FREAKED! When i say freaked I mean I started balling in the girls dressing room. My fiance was so suportive, nice and understanding (despite the fact I was blaming him for my weight gained). His words if I remember correctly were "babe I love you no matter what and I think you look beautiful" this coming from the man i'm going to marry and still I was so upset at myself. My MOH was right next to me the whole time telling me I looked pretty and she wouldn't lie to me. The whole way home I kept asking my self how, when, where? How did i not notice it before? At that very moment I decided I needed to change something this year; I didn't want to feel like umpa lumpa walking down the isle much less get any bigger than what I have already let myself!


Current weight: 168 Goal weight: 135-140

My first goal is to lose 15 to 20lbs by the time we do our engagment pictures!!

P.S. I will post my progress as often as I can

  1. You can do IT!!! No greater motivation like having an aisle to walk down. :-) Can't wait to see your progress.

  2. Good luck girl! You can do it!! You are going to make a beautiful bride! I was in a similar situation almost 2 years ago just before I got engaged, I joined WW and within a year I dropped almost 30 lbs with diet and exercise, today I maintain my goal weight, try to eat healthy, but still enjoy baking and eating little treats all the time, and I run, something I never thought I would be able to do! I am currently working on trying to lose another 10 lbs, it's not easy, but definitely doable!
