Wedding Weight Loss, Do's and Dont's

By Ricardo d Argence

A wedding is the happiest day of many people's lives and they are joyful through every minute of it. Perfecting every detail and obsessing about how they will fit into their clothes can cause a great deal of stress.

Weddings are a great time to look your best, and no doubt most people want to be able to fit into that dress before their big day. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be healthy on your wedding day, and in fact, getting healthy can actually take away some of the stress that you have. However, there are some donts when it comes to wedding weight loss, along with the do's.

Be realistic in your weightloss goals - try to lose too much, and you'll only succeed in getting stressed out before your wedding. Set realistic goals for your diet, don't try to lose more weight than is healthy in the time you have available. Discuss your weight with your doctor and tell him or her what weight you would like to be, as well as the date of your upcoming wedding. Setting a reasonable goal with the help of your doctor, you can reach it.

If you want to lose weight in the time before your wedding, avoid starvation diets and other weight loss fads. You are stressed and not eating will only make it worse. You'll be crabby and worse, you'll be unhealthy. Your immune system may become weakened making you sick and potentially interfering with your wedding plans.

Don't let your emotions get in the way of your eating, in other words, don't eat too much and don't eat too little. Continue eating regular, good sized meals, and try to use up all of that nervous energy that you have in exercising instead of obsessing about food.

When you are trying to get in shape for a wedding, do exercise. You probably already have all of that nervous energy, so put it to good use and keep moving. Working out with your spouse to be can be a great way for you to keep doing things together, and if you do something like ballroom dancing lessons, you'll get in better shape and you'll also be doing something productive for the wedding as well.

Find balance with your food. Even though you may be committed to eating healthily and losing weight, you should still take the opportunity to taste cakes when auditioning a wedding cake baker. Enjoy those snacks at your bridal parties, and have those drinks with your girlfriends as you do your last night out. Your health and happiness are paramount to being a terrific bride.
