Calories & Weight - Should you diet for your wedding?

Most brides want to look their very best for their big day. Lots of brides want to lose weight before their wedding. It can be a stressful time. But, there are some things you should consider before starting that diet.

1) If you start early and succeed in losing lots of weight, think about when to buy your wedding dress. Virtually all wedding dresses need to be altered, but you should try to buy the size dress that most fits your body size. Then the alterations may be limited to length and not width!

2) If you succeed in losing a bunch of weight now, buy your dress and then gain the weight back, it will be difficult to make your dress larger, depending on how much weight you gain.

3) If you do not succeed in losing weight, you may become more depressed as your wedding date approaches. Try not to be too hard on yourself.

4) Accept yourself at your current weight. After all, your fiance proposed to you at this weight, so you are loved just the way you are.

5) It is always a good idea to be at a healthy weight, no matter if it is for your wedding day or for the rest of your life. Being overweight contributes to many health problems. So, try to maintain a healthy weight for you - don't compare yourself to others who may have a different body type and different normal weight range.
