NPR feeling sad about appearance

yesterday was my cousin's wedding.  it was a beautiful day and I was the MOH.  ALL I can think about now that the "high" of the day is over is how upset I am at how fat I am.  I kept telling myself I'd lose weight for her wedding but I (obviously) never did.  I was the fat bridesmaid.  Boo hoo.  I'm just waiting for the fb pics to start showing up, then for the professional photog.'s pics and I just feel so upset.  It was a beautiful celebration and I hate that this is all I can focus on now. :-(

    So, ask yourself what the next step is.  Focusing on something you don't like doesn't make it go away.

    That sucks and I have absolutely been in that position.  It's hard to make changes but so worth it!  And anyway maybe you are being too critical of yourself?

    The good thing is that no one will be focusing on you when they look at the pictures.  The wedding party is pretty much just a back drop for the bride and groom;)  Maybe you could look at this as a good thing.  It will give you the push you needed to get healthier.  I know how horrible it can feel to see yourself fat in a picture though!  My good" friend" (lol) posted a pic of me and ds#3 2 weeks after I had him on fb and I wanted to cry.  Even though I was prob the "backdrop" in the photo and Chase was the little star, it was still the push I needed to get back to where I was before I got preg and not let myself go.  It really is not too hard once you start to get on track!  Good luck!
