Just need to share on a few things..... FMIL, is just driving me up a wall. She is just trying to take charge of too much and it really bothers me... Then I'm just not happy with myself. I wanted to thinner by the time I went for my dress and I'm no where next to it and to be honest its killing me inside. I'm just so discouraged that I dont even wanna go looking anywhere.... Any advice ladies?

Yea older people can be so irratating sometimes. Why dont you just let her know, in a nice way, that you have everything under control and when you need her you will be sure to let her know? As for the being thin part, well, I think all of us (or most of us) are going through this right now. I am trying to lose some weight before I go to try on some more dresses but it just aint happening. Just remember, what ever happens you are going to be beautiful on your wedding day, Trust me.

Re: Its been awhile since I've been on but,
Its normal that some one on his family is giving you a hard time, there is ALWAYS someone, but realize that this time that you and you FH have together, goes by sooo quickly. This will be the best day of your life. We all have problems with the way we look, if its not how much we weigh its our hair, etc. But take a walk tonight, we have very few days until it gets veeerrry cold, gather your thoughts, Invision how your perfect day would be. You will find the gown, we have all been distracted! Just get back on the bike chica! Be the gorgeous bride you always dreamed of. You will be!!!!!

How about taking some time to yourself. Whether it be at a spa, or just at home. No calls, or interuptions. Just pure relaxation to take you mind off things.
When things get hectic w/ me thats what I do. It doesn't seem likemuch but w/ two kids at home and working f/t sometimes I need that time to myself.
And as far as your FMIL maybe you should try talking to your Fh about that. I wouldmn't confront her yet.. It might make the situation worst, and instead of a take charge attitude it can turn into a dislike attitude
You have almost a whole year before the wedding. Don't get discouraged. You have plenty of time to lose the weight. They cap alts anyway. I am no where near where I want to be and I am getting married in 5 months. But I still have 5 months. She will just earn her alts money! As far as the FMIL goes.. sorry! I honestly don't know what to say. I have the same thing going on. I pretty much avoid phone calls and put my foot down and if she dosen't like it- too bad. Good luck and don't get frustrated.

Re: Its been awhile since I've been on but,
I understand too...I scheduled personal training sessions and always cancelled them. I look at myself and can't wait to get the weight off also. So, I wish I could tell you to get off the couch and excersise, but I'd be sitting right next to you w/ a bag of doritos As for the FMIL, I agree-ignore her calls and let your FH handle it. It's his mom! Good luck

FMIL's can be a pain, but maybe she doesn't realize that she's taking over. If she does, well I would just kill her with kindness, but be firm on your decisions. Although this can be hard if she's kicking in for the wedding.
As for the weight issue, I'm the same way. I keep saying I want to lose at least 10lb before I even look at a dress. It's not happening anytime soon, so I better bite the bullet and go. You have plenty of time to get where you want to be. Every Bride is beautiful on their day no matter what their size is.
