I reminded myself constantly that I wasn't going to be able to justify spending the money a 2nd time if i didn't like the way they came out!

as to mental prep - i wasn't nervous at all so i can't help u on that lol.

Mentally i think i'm ok. lol Physically I cut out a lot of the crap I eat (less if no butter, only whole wheat bread and pasta, more salad, snack on apples and raisins instead of cookies, drink more water) It's made a little difference. I'm also trying to go to the gym more but i'm sick right now so that's out.

Mentally, I keep reminding myself that I NEVER would've done this a few years ago before I lost my weight. And how SHOCKED FH will be when he sees them. I'm also going with a group of very supportive girls

Physically, I try to stick to my WW routine and go to the gym at least 3 times a week. But like Adriana, I've been sick all week, so I haven't gone. And I feel like crap.

I am avoiding all snacks and working out 3-4 times a week. As it gets closer to wedding, I'll also be cutting down on alcohol a lot more too.

Re: how'd you prepare for b-pics - motivation

physically i wish i could help....my bpics are in a week and i havent been motivated to work out like i wanted to i have been ok with eating but kinda cheating on weekends which doesnt help

mentally- i am really nervous and might need a drink before the pics. butt i keep trying to tell myself that its for FH and he loves my body how it is. plus in 20 years after having kids and all that im sure my body won't look like this so it will be good to look back at how it once was lol

Have a couple glasses of Champagne beforehand.

I'll do almost anything when there's alcohol in my system!
