Feeling a little bit blue ;-(

mrs zippy, 11 May, 2009 at 14:42 Posted on Planning 0 7

We are getting married in just over 4 weeks. i am so excited i want to burst and i cant wait (although i am a bit scared that soon it will all be over:-( !!!) I am off to Spain on Friday for a 3 day hen do and am really excited about that too

but......... this is going to sound ridiculous. Over the last year i have worked really hard at losing weight - i have dropped 2 stone and have about 9lbs left until i am my "ideal weight" i feel good and healthy, my skin looks good and until saturday i was really proud of myself.

On saturday i met up with a friend i havn't seen since Christmas as she has been working away. We are the same height, we kicked started our post Christmas weight loss with Rosemary Conley and weighed, give or take a lb or 2, the same. However she has done really really well and is now a very gorgeous, curvy 10 stone whereas i am still just over 12 :-( i know that you should never compare yourself and that what i have achieved is great and that on the wedding day i will feel fab, but i cannot shift the sad feeling i have that i could look as amazing as she does if i had worked harder and i now keep regretting all the extra nights out over the last few months. its annoying that i am being so daft but i cant shake myself out of it :-(

I am now panicking about the hen do and the extra drink and food calories and lack of exercise and thinking it will make things worse.

I know its silly - i just needed to share it!!

    Snap out of it mrs, you've done really well and should be super proud of yourself! who cares how much more weight someone else has lost? think of all the fun you've had on those extra nights out and look at all the things you have to look forward to!

    well done, wish i could do it!

    Oh hen, sorry that you're feeling down. But I wouldn't worry too much. You can't turn back time and just a wee bit extra weight won't really make a big difference. You have your dress already and you will look amazing. And don't worry about the extra calories on your hen do....just get back on the wagon right after.

    I have lost 3st since November and now weight 17st, so I have a looooot to loose until August 2010, and I can tell you it is daunting. But I'm determined and on a mission. But I have days where I just think f*ck it....but I usually get back on the wagon a day later.

    So don't panic, enjoy your do and your wedding.....xxx

    Now listen here..... you have lost 2 stone???? That's amazing! I'm willing to bet that you look fabulous. And I'm going to get quite cross with you if you think that a 12 is big as I'm a size 12 and I am most definitely not fat!

    You are marrying the man that you love and that's all that matters!

    And if you can't eat and drink on your hen do, then that will be no fun!

    I'm giving you a gentle virtual slap you silly thing!

    AliLindsey i certainly dont think a 12 is fat - i am 12 stone which is slightly different (11 stone 5 is the top end weight for my height and would give me a BMI of 25.2!)

    Thanks for your kind words ladies, i am just having a blue day and will go to the gym later to try and pick myself up!! :-) x

    <slap round the face really hard icon>

    You are a size 12!!!! so bloody what if you friend is a 10!

    Well done on your weight loss - its brilliant and if you are happy and proud (and so you should be) then it dont matter!!!

    Dont worry about your hen - go indulge in loads of alcohol and food - you only get to do it once and you are not going to put a load of weight on from one weekend!!

    Chin up darling and well done!!

    The main thing is that you are feeling healthier and better in yourself. You don't want to lose too much weight or your dress won't fit!

    And realistically, I don't think three days of letting your hair down on your hen do is really going to make that much difference. Go enjoy yourself, and be happy with the weight you are because it's a great achievement! ?
