Pre-wedding/post wedding

Original post by yelley77

so, while getting dressed this morning I was a little sad. I've gained about 5 pounds since the wedding and my skin looks like crap. Before the wedding i was taking such good care of myself; drinking only water, doing my daily face cleaning with all good products, working out about 4 days a week... now i'm lazy, my clothes feel a llittle snug, my skin looks AWFUL (it's so read and blotchy)... i have very sensitive skin and as soon as it gets cold out, my rosacsia (sp) acts up...

Once i get motivated I know i'll be ok, it's just getting there that is hard. I should also mention that since we got home from the huggymoon, DH has been traveling every week and only comes home on weekneds, so i'm a little depressed about that... i think that is why i have no motivation..


Anyway, i just wanted to know if anyone else had things change drastically from pre-wedding to post wedding?

Danielle....for the entire month after our wedding I was depressed!

DH went back to work two days after we got back from our HM. He was working all the time because he had to pay guys back who worked during the wedding and HM weeks. Well....he's off to work almost every SINGLE day and I'm home alone (I'm a teacher and I didn't go back to work till Sept.) I was in SUCH a funk and cried like every single day. I also was not motivated to do anything. Well now I'm back to work and things are back to normal. DH is not working that much anymore and we do get to see eachother more.

It'll get better, I promise. It's like post-wedding-blues, I swear!

Why is it that noone ever tells you about those post wedding blues and the weight gain. I should have read this board before my wedding to prepare myself.

Ok I am so glad I'm not the only one I've gained around 7 pounds and have 0 motivation right now. I'm hoping once I get back to the gym and in the routine again, I'll feel better. Getting started always seems to be the hardest part.

Gyms should have a newlywed bootcamp, like the bridal bootcamps they have.

*Not that I would actually sign up for this right now...

i've definitely become lazier. but other than that things have remained the same. i feel like i've gained weight but the scale is telling me the same number as on the HM so maybe thats just in my head.

my skin was horrible before the wedding and during the HM and just when I thought it was clearing up it's been acting up again.

i'm still draggin my booty to the gym 5 days a week and i only ate desserts on the HM so i'm keeping up my pre-wedding routine.
