I know I'll never wear a size 2 wedding gown, but it's really motivational because I don't want to be shopping in the size 16 dresses for when I get married and want to be like an 8 or a 10 (or smaller!) for my wedding gown.
But that's why we're here, to get fit and healthy and happy!
AMEN, sister! I refuse to get married ever if I have to do it in a size 24 cafe awning! Matter of fact, the prospect of being a fat bride is one of the thoughts that got me going on this weight loss journey - and I don't even have a boyfriend! It finally occurred to me last year that if I got engaged and wanted to lose weight before the wedding, I'd have to have like a two-year engagement to get to where I'd like to be on that (eventual) Big Day. Yeesh!
And as for the sabotaging oneself through binging topic that started this thread - I totally feel your pain. I had lost two pounds in three days last week, hitting my pre-jerkface ex-bf weight on Wednesday, and then went and ate bbq chicken pizza on Friday and a big heavy Chinese meal with beer(s) on Saturday, bringing all my nice progress to a screeching halt and sending me back to where I was two weeks ago, four pounds heavier! *totally disgusted*
I'm with all the other chicks on this thread: all you can do is do better the rest of today and start tomorrow stronger and more motivated. It's only a failure if you don't get it back off!
