YOU DON’T NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT FOR YOUR WEDDING

You don’t need to lose weight for your wedding.

One of the many aspects of the wedding industry that has become a overblown - and perhaps a bit insidious - is the mountain of services, bootcamps and regimens dedicated to changing how you look, especially when it comes to weight. After getting engaged, you’re on the top of the world! The person you love the most has publicly declared their devotion to you and you’re going to spend forever together after throwing the party of your life!

Cue: the weight loss ads. What a buzzkill.

Let me be a voice of reason (and hopefully relief) when I say that you do not need to lose weight. Or change anything else about your appearance. Your fiance fell in love with you exactly how you look right now. And if you’re like me, and fought long and hard to love your body, I promise a few photos on your wedding are not worth falling back into the dieting and self-loathing you’ve overcome.

You will look stunning, fashionable, effervescent and bridal without changing a thing. Promise!
