29 days to go, went to pick up my dress. In the 2 months since my last fitting, It doesn't fit. The dress was only shortened, never altered. It used to be a little loose, comfortable loose. Tonight I couldn't breathe. Thankfully MOH was there to make me laugh about it. As MOH is zipping it she's saying "umm chicky I'm putting you on a diet STAT". It really hit me when I had to sneeze and was afraid to. They are holding my dress another 2 weeks and then ill go back and try again, if it doesn't fit then, they will do rush alterations for me. In the meantime, I'm starting a low carb, no sugar, no caffeine, high protein diet has started. MOH and I decided I can do this for one month, then eat all I want on my cruise as a reward. Ill admit though I'm a bit confused bc I went down 1 jean size about a month ago.

    I hear you! I had the same experience a couple weeks ago at my first fitting. Although I didn't have my MOH with me to put me in my dress as she usually has been every other time I've ever tried it on... I was expected to get into it myself! Wtf? 

    Anyway, I was bloated from my cycle, not wearing the control panties I plan to wear, and I've been stressed to the max!!! Sound familiar? Just relax. The low carb diet sounds good, I'm trying that too but it's been hard with 2 bridal showers the last 2 weekends back to back... I am just focusing on relaxing, eating way less (like one meal a day), drinking a ton of water, and walking a lot! My next fitting is on Wednesday (5/15) and I'm nervous but trying to just keep calm. 

    I wish you luck with yours and hope you can try to de-stress as much as possible.

    The same thing happened to me at my last fitting.  My seamstress told me to "maintain" my current weight, because the dress "fit like a glove".  I felt it fit more like a tube of whomp biscuits.  I am blaming a good deal of this on cyclic related bloating, true story, but I plan on increasing my water and exercise, and decreasing cookies and alcohol for the next few weeks.  Hopefully that way it will still fit, but I'll be able to breathe.

    Negative in the cycle issue. I'm 31 and had a total hysterectomy when I was 28. my weight hasn't changed I stay pretty steady within a 10 lb window. Oddly enough a few weeks back I put on a pair of jeans and flipped out bc they didn't fit. A week later they did, come to find out FI Had surprised me and gotten me new jeans, washed them and put them in the closet but the size he bought was 1 size smaller....now they fit. We are gone every weekend between now and the wedding. This weekend is final tux fittings, memorial weekend were going away 1 final time (weakly shouldn't but with our jobs we need to get away). And the weekend after is the last before the wedding and we will be running crazy. Attempting to change how I eat. Should be interesting.
