Loss of Appetite

I never thought I'd say this, but wedding stress is leading to a loss of appetite. Is anyone else experiencing this or any other weird side effect of wedding planning?

Re: Loss of Appetite

  • Not me, I am eating as much as ever! :p I haven't gotten Really stressed out yet, the only thing that I can say is some nights when I have the wedding "To Do" list on my mind I have trouble falling asleep. 

    What is stressing you out so much?
  • Just the anticipation of the day and everything coming together, I'm excited just anxious. Hopefully it'll subside because I love to eat.
  • Just remember, whatever what happens you'll be married soon! The details will work themselves out.

    I've been stressed to, but more with school and my job search. There hasn't been much time left for my wedding to dos, but I'm sure it will all be ok.
  • I haven't had any wedding stress.. I wish I had loss of appetite though lol

  • I can totally relate - with the stressing part (not the loss of apetite - i wish! as i am sitting here stuffing my face with a kit kat bar argh!) I've totally become the opposite and chocolate has been my savior!

    I think its the excitement of it all - plus some stress i.e. the RSVPS are not all coming in as fast as we anticipated / last minute costs are creeping up / our savings account totally decreasing down waaaay too far haha

    Btw, I love the advice @xstatic3333wrote - it will be an amazing day i just can't wait for it to get here already ;) Good luck with the school / job search - i would prob go crazy if i had to do all that and wedding planning!

     I can TOTALLY relate to this!  We really thought people would be excited to respond and they'd start flying in right away. We couldn't have been more wrong! We sent our invitations out almost a month ago and not even half of our guests have responded. I just keep telling myself we have plenty of time and if they don't respond by the deadline I have no problem picking up the phone!

    I've been having a hard time getting a decent amount of sleep, but I'm trying to keep things in perspective.  I've come to terms with the fact that most things probably WON'T go exactly as planned, but at the end of the day, as long as we're married, the day will have been perfect.

  • Thank you for commiserating, nice to know I'm not alone in regards to the stress!

    I have been having trouble sleeping and get random anxiety! Just thinking about the day, hoping it all goes well, checking things off my to do list and everyone has what they need. I know in the end it's all about the actual marriage part!

    I'm also anxiously checking the mail box everyday. We got a bunch of RSVPs right away and now it's slowed so much!

  • RI wish I was eating less. My brain thinks stress = snacks.

    I'm so stressed about the RSVPs, too - we're missing about half and all I want to do is start doing my damn seating chart and escort cards!

    I'm the same way about snacking!

    I'm also waiting on half the RSVPs and just want to do the seating chart.
  • I've been having loss of appetite as well! It's awful. Though my stress is more job + wedding. :/

  • Thanks, @Smitten2012! We got good news today that FI was offered a great new job, so that takes the pressure off me a bit. I do have a good interview prospect, so I'm staying optimistic.
  • Congrats @xstatic3333! The job search is the worst; I got lucky and got hired in May, so I missed the joy of summer interviews this year. When the right position turns up it'll click!
