You may be recently engaged<\/a> (congrats!) or your wedding day is looming and you want\u00a0to look perfect for the big day. But let us tell you \u2014 a crash diet or depriving your body in any way, shape or form is not the way to go! Here’s why NOT to lose weight for your wedding…<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The love of your life either proposed<\/a> or accepted your proposal, so they are more than prepared to spend the rest of their life with you and love you as you are right now.\u00a0While you might feel pressure to lose a few kilos, it’s important to remember the reason you are planning a wedding is to celebrate the love between you and your fianc\u00e9. The number written on the inside of your\u00a0dress\u00a0<\/a>or\u00a0suit jacket<\/a>\u00a0is irrelevant.<\/p>\n No matter whether it reads 6 or 26, no one is going to see the size of your dress or suit, and no doubt you’ve put some thought into choosing a dress or suit in a style and colour that matches your personality and body shape for your big day. This will make you feel super sexy when you say “I Do” and nothing screams gorgeous like glowing with confidence.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n When you know you’ve found the right dress or suit, you just know. And while you think losing weight will make you look better in your outfit, that is not always the case. Not all outfits can be successfully taken in by a tailor and still maintain the cut or style that you fell in love with. Also, alterations for gowns with bead or lace embellishments can become quite expensive and might not be a cost you want to bear if you are on a tight budget.<\/p>\n You might tell yourself that you need to lose five kilos or 20, but let us tell you, your weight won’t bother the people who love you. There is nothing more powerful than being surrounded by the people who are most important to you.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Wedding planning can be stressful enough (we can help there!<\/a>), but throw in painful calorie-counting, fad diets or depriving your body of what it needs to function, and you will discover a whole new realm of stress. This is the last thing you need when you want to enjoy your special day. While going for an extra walk here or there will help you to blow off some planning stress, there’s no need to start working out excessively every day to drop a dress size.<\/p>\nYour fianc\u00e9 loves you as you are<\/h2>\n
You will look hot<\/h2>\n
You might not fit your dream outfit<\/h2>\n
The people who love you won’t care<\/h2>\n
You will minimise stress<\/h2>\n
