does anyone else feel like this?

Ok it is about three weeks until my wedding and I have almost completely lost my appetite. I eat like one meal because I am hungry but force myself to eat something else because I am getting headaches and completely irritable if I don't eat. I cannot sleep. I have begun to break out like crazy. Please tell me this is normal?

I'm not that close yet, but my stomach's been going crazy already and i've got over 2 months. From what I hear, lots of brides shed a few pounds the few weeks before their wedding due to stress. Sounds like nerves. Maybe your MD can prescribe a little anti-anxitety med to get you through the next few weeks.

It allllllllllllll stress. If you are not used to it, it's pretty unbelievable to see the strange things that stress can do to your body. Your symptoms are totally normal, I experience the same when I am very nervous/stressed. Most importantly, even if you have no appetite, EAT!!! You don't want to make yourself sick. Do something nice and relaxing for yourself once per day, whether it is giving yourself a pedicure or doing some yoga stretches.

This is very common. it's happened to almost all my friends who have gotten married.

one friend in particular lost so much weight right before her wedding, that her dress had to be re-made 2 days before her wedding!

it's just nerves. you'll be ok. just be sure to eat very high protein foods.

I was like that for a week before, and the night before I was downright nauseous watching everyone eat.

I wish I couldnt eat. I was exhausted and hungry all the time. Youre probably just stressed.

Trust me...stress is nothing new to Lisa! We just graduated law school and took the bar exam together.

Try to relax and feel better...I'm sure everything will turn out perfect for your wedding.

I HEAR ya!!

I'm completely one ball of stress lately. Between work being hectic, and this wedding spinning out of control (can anyone else relate?), my face has become a disaster zone. I'm hoping that this weekend I can decompress and not think about all the things left to do!

I feel your pain...and if you need anything...or want to feel normal..I'm here! :)

thanks girls. I think i actually had a case of food poisioning and sun stroke last night along with nerves. Ihad gone out to the hamptons and went to eat at a resturant. I had cheese on my salad and I think it was bad. I know my mom's milk had curdled and she needed a new one for her coffee...it just dawned on her and I think the bad cheese with the sun did wonders for me. I had not been feeling good and the sun did not help.

I am realizing that I have a lot on my plate but it is ok. I can totally deal with that, but I am glad to know I am not alone feeling nervous.
