Hey all, not trying to be negative nancy by any means, but just curious why people get engaged and then want to lose weight before the wedding? It seems like more stress on top of planning. Don't get me wrong, I'm a plus size myself. My weight went up and down my entire life, like 10 yrs ago when I had to lose 20 lbs to get into the Air Force active duty, and during my 1st marriage had toxemia with my daughter and gained 70 lbs. My (ex) husband at the time said, "Why don't you get back (weight wise) to what you were in high school?" Like dude, didn't even know me when I was in high school - lol
Anyways, he (the ex) & I had eloped and never had a wedding, but now I have my FI who truly loves me (inside & out) the way I am. I guess out of my crabby story, is the weight loss thing a "tradition" thing? Just curious.
