I'm not sure whether this should be classified as a rant, a vent or a pity party. Yesterday someone said something to me and it really bothered me...i know i know that i shouldnt think twice about what someone thinks of me but i am one of those insecure people who do. I was talking to a coworker about how i havent hit my goal weight and being that my wedding is this saturday, im a tad disappointed but im more or less letting it go because im so excited to marry Joe. Plus i lost a total of almost 60 lbs so im just glad that all of that weight is off. She turned and said 'Well as long as Joe thinks you're beautiful that day it shouldnt matter what anyone else thinks.' Okay now i do get the point that she was trying to be sincere but this came 2 minutes after a different co-worker told me i shouldnt eat before my fitting (keep in mind it was 2 pm and i hadnt eaten yet cause i was psycho at work). I just felt like shouting 'ok i am not thin but i am not tipping the scales at 500 lbs either.' And even if i was, why shouldnt i feel beautiful on my wedding day? I went to my fitting later that afternoon and stood there in my gown for the first time feeling 'not so beautiful' and i cant believe i let two comments get inside of my head. I am probably overreacting and overly sensitive cause my emotions are all over because im getting married in 3 days but i still thought it was a bit rude.

Being thin does NOT make a person beautiful!! Remember that. Congrats on losing all that weight. You lost a person!!!! You should be very proud of yourself. Keep up the amazing work
