hi ladies- first, i am so happy to have tihis board.
similar to kendall and albert... i also have thyroid issues. I am constantly being poked and proded and trying to figure out why my thryroid simply dropped to completely inactive.
At any rate, in teh alst 2 years i have gained 80 lbs. I am so luck yot have an amazing fiance, who loved me when I was a size 8 and still loves me now at I-have no idea what size ia m. I literally, don't buy pants with sizes because I am scared to death to try them on. I would guess i am likely a size 22 at this point.
Because I had such rapid weight gain, i have a ton of stetch marks. Under my armpits, on mytummy, on my upper arms, and the worst is on my back right above my bra.
i have no idea what to do or if there is going to be anything short of a long sleeve high neck, high back dress that will be flattering.
Does anyone else have these issues?
I def. dont want strapless so I think the straps will cause the dres to be a bit higher covering those in my armpits- but the back is my issue.
There aren't a ton, but its noticeable. fiance said my veil will cover them too but I'm still at a loss for what to do.
The thought of going dress shopping brings me to tears and anxiety attacks. I have though about postponing the wedding to lose weight.
I basically have beent dieting excercising foreer and have lost about 1lb total, so with my health being what it is, i doubt any "major" weightloss will happen before my wedding.
Part of my embarassment is that my bridesmaids are all around a size 4-6 with NO visable stretch marks like this damn bride
