Getting Married In 3.5 days and I CANNOT SLEEP!

This week is insane. My mind is racing and sleep is just a completely foreign concept to me at this juncture.

There is - of course - drama. I have had THREE people call me since Sunday to let me know that they can't come. It is INSANELY frustrating. I hate paying for dinners that will NOT be eaten. I feel like passing flyers out on the streets to see if I can find anyone who wants to go to a wedding. I am sad more than anything though. I will miss these folks.

My final fitting is tomorrow. I am pretty sure I gained weight. Because I cna't stop eating. I was supposed to LOSE weight after I stopped the meds.. but I didn't. I kept gaining. And now I will OFFICIALLY be a total horse on my wedding day. It is funny how I can look at other plus sized brides and think how beautiful they look and how gorgeous they are... but when I look at myself all I see is rolls. Well.. at least there is a guy who adores me - every fat inch of me!

I still have a ton to do and just no time to do it!!! ARRGGHHH!

I WISH I COULD SLEEP INSTEAD OF THINKING ABOUT THIS STUFF!

Oh well.

awww! I would be completely freaking out as well! You should go get a massage and relax and as easy as this may sound and i know hard to actually do, just kick back and relax. Everything is set, booked, and done and it will all fall into place on its own. You are going to look beautiful on your wedding day and have fun at your fitting tommrow

I know it isn't easy but you should try to relax and not get the stress of the final days before your wedding get to you. Try making your self a nice cup of tea and take a nice relaxing bath, but most of all remember that in less than 4 days you are going to be getting married and your wedding will be everything that you dreamed of and more.

I'm sorry for your stress. It will be a wonderful day. You should try Melatonin. Its a natural sleep aid. It is found in the vitamin section. Just take 1 3mg. tablet and it will relax you and you will fall asleep.

Hang in there! Try some tylenol PM or Nyquil. And you will SO NOT BE A HORSE! You are too funny! You will be beautiful! Drink a LOT of water and if you have to snack, eat popcorn and apples. It will fill you up and it's not as fattening as other things (but popcorn does have salt so watch that). All the water will rid you of excess bloat.

As for the extra dinners, the hall should have no problem packaging them and sending them home. My friend ended up bringing home 27 dinners with her and hall had no problem with it at all!

Your day is almost here! Woo hoo!!!

I'm sure you will look absolutely beautiful and will be a gorgeous bride. I'm sorry some of your guests can't come - hopefully they had a good reason why, but it still hurts that they won't be with you to celebrate. Try to relax in the next few days, take deep breaths, and know that whatever happens, you and FH will get married and that's the most important thing!

Sleep is totally over rated!

Well, actually, no - sleep is my best buddy and without it I am a total wreck. I HIGHLY suggest getting an over the counter sleeping pill to help knock you out. It's so very important to get sleep this week! You need to look fresh and beautiful on your wedding day!

In terms of being plus size - there is NOTHING you can do about that now so look for all the positive about yourself that you can! You are beautiful and amazing! You have nothing to worry about. It will be a fantastic wedding. You have planned and planned and it will be gorgeous! YAY wedding!

Awww I was like that too it felt like everyday something new would happen. Get yourself a bottle of wine and spend some time with you FH. DO not talk about the wedding, just talk about the future or talk about how far you have come. But try to stay away from the stress that you both are feeling with only a couple of days away. I know its hard, but once the day gets here everything will happen so fast you won't know what hit you.
