| Fitness | Need To Lose Weight Before Wedding, Dress Does Not Fit!!! | Jul 03 2008 19:36 (UTC) |

I agree that it's not worth the risk. Your wedding is so soon that you really don't need any extra stress. That said, it might still be a possibility for you to lose the weight if you work at it aggressively. Try cutting your calories down to 1400 a day and work out for an hour every day on your elyptical machine, drinking lots of water. Basically, you want a 1,000 calorie deficit per day in order to lose 12 lbs in 6 weeks. Good luck, and congratulations on your wedding! |

Aww, you are such a pretty girl, Carmen. Your picture is stunning! I never quite developed an eating disorder, but I do know how it feels to be depressed or insecure about my appearance. I'm 26, 5'1 1/2 and I somehow managed to eat my way up to 122 lbs! I am the heaviest I have ever been, and I can barely fit any clothes in my closet. I never wanted to be this big (fat % is way too high), but I learned something very valuable from it all: I can overcome it! It's sort of like losing your first love and realizing that you can survive it. So now I'm restricting my calories to around 1300~1400 a day and exercising 7 days a week for an hour or so. (Or the equivalent of 500 calories) If I keep it up, I'll be down to my goal weight of 105 in about 3.5 months. The interesting thing is, I've begun to really enjoy working out. I used to absolutely HATE it. I was the out-of-shape yet skinny girl in high school who walked with the fat girls in gym class instead of running, because I didn't have the will power to put up with the pain. Anyway, now I really look forward to my workouts, and it's not just because I'm on my way back to 105. Instead, I enjoy it because I know I'm taking good care of myself. I feel really proud of myself that I have the will power to do what it takes to stay healthy. Don't associate with people who are negative and bring you down. Life is too short for that kind of drama, and you deserve more. Do your best to stay positive. Instead of thinking, "It's a sickness that allowed me to starve myself" think, "It was misguided willpower". Now take that strong will power of yours and rechannel it into LOVING yourself. Think positive thoughts and tell yourself outloud what a foxy little thing you are. You have to believe in yourself, because nobody (not even Jonny Depp) can convince you that you are beautiful and deserving of love unless you already know it! I really wish you the best, I admire you for being honest about what you're going through, and if you ever need a friend on this website, I'm here for you. xoxo, Emily

I'm not sure that I've ever binged like a pro, but I distinctly remember eating a half box of Cheez-its in one sitting, or 1/3 of a tub of cake frosting, etc. I would've eaten more if I hadn't felt physical discomfort telling me to stop. I usually have these mini binges after I start intensely craving a particular food for no apparent reason. Seriously, the only reason I haven't ever had an impressive binging episode is that I don't have the willpower to ignore the physical discomfort! haha. So instead... I find myself just wanting to eat constantly, even if I'm not particularly hungry. It becomes almost unmanagable if I'm feeling anxious about something. I'm talking eating almost ALL DAY long- one thing after another. It doesn't matter what it is- I just get the urge to eat. I stop eating if I feel physical discomfort, but the problem is I still feel out of control. So that's how I ended up putting on weight. Luckily I decided to make a serious change when I realized I could no longer fit anything in my closet! The amazing thing is that after just one week of regular exercise, my eating habits are getting better already! I feel a lot less anxious (more relaxed) and yet somehow have boundless energy. I eat solid meals, but I don't have the urge to constantly gnaw on something. I really hope I can keep this up! And I am so happy I found this website! I've been pleasantly surprised at how kind and supportive most people are here on these forums. :)
