I was reading through this board, and other boards, about how many women are freaking out over sizes and losing weight and looking beautiful for their wedding. My first thought is, "Silly girl, it's your wedding, you'll be beautiful regardless"; but alas, I am one of those women as well.
I have been trying to be healthier lately, for a multitude of reasons. Of course I want to feel comfortable and toned in my dress, but I also don't want to freak out about calories or pounds or clothing sizes. As of right now, I have been dealing with an eating disorder for the past...well for a long time. I'm ashamed to admit it because it makes me feel like an insignificant whiney teenager, but it is what it is, and unfortunately despite my best efforts I haven't been able to change that. My fiance knows of my issues, and I commend him on his efforts to convince me that I'm beautiful or sexy, but hearing it and feeling it are two different things.
Anyway. My motivation at this point is not necessarily to lose weight, but just to be healthy. To be able to play with my son and not feel like my heart is going to explode because it's working so hard, to not get the shakes from low blood sugar...to be able to enjoy my wedding without obsessing over the food and how I look. I'm hoping that I'll keep my goals this time (I've tried to "quit" my habit numerous times), and hoping that using message boards will help. So good luck to everyone in their efforts to achieve their maximum health, and hopefully we can keep one another on track.
