My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

EATING!!!!!!!!! I'm supposed to be on good behavior but I think that I'm doing that nervous eating thing. Am I alone? I have to stop so that I can fit into my MERMAID dress!!!

Ohhhh yessss, tottaly feel for you, when I hit the mark it was the middle of September, and I was stressed with planning the wedding as well as other areas of my life. So I noticied that I gained 10 pounds and I had one week before the wedding, I lost 7 of those pounds during that week of the wedding because I was too tired, too overworked, to nervous and to scared to eat. These things happen. Just try and take them in stride.

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

my wedding is alot further away but I am not a nervous eater so I can't relate. However, since I am always very weight concious, this is what i do when i get in those moods and I wanna eat all the time.
I eat lots of fruit. Try grapefruit. it helps burn fat too.
I eat things that are high in fiber....moatly dry cerial and i pick on it all day...
I drink tons of water.. makes u stuffed and not want to eat. if water is too blad for you try crystal light.
Coffee also helps reduce the appetite.
Instead of eating white starches... bread especailly and rice. try eating brown rice and whole wheat bread. Since ht body cant break down whole fiber, it takes much long for hte body to digest it and turn it into glucose that turns to fat..

oooooh and i almost forgot. eat cucumbers.. they will make u have to pee all day long and cuz they are so filled with water they will stuff you too..
Hope this helped...Good Luck

My wedding is further away as well but, for some reason, this week I've been so hungry! Unfortunately as well, people in my office have been helping me cure my hunger with lots of candy and donuts.

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

yeah, I have been hungrier lately, but I think its because I'm working out a lot more. Try to eat healthy snacks, and stuff with a lot of protien to keep you full for longer.

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

I just started using weightwatchers.com. I LOVE it! It's like a game entering everything I eat. Tracking my day out in advance keeps me less likely to 'cheat' because I know I can have my snack at 11:30 and my grilled chicken salad lunch at 1:30. And when I do have the occasional jelly beans, I just enter those into the computer and it adds it to my points so I don't have to feel guilty about it. I attend the weekly meetings, but couldn't get myself to physically write the food I was eating in the book, but entering it in my computer program seems more like a game to me, so I do it. Go figure... lol.

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

I am going through the same thing!
I don't know what's wrong with me!
It must be stress.

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

me neither! And my dress is officially a mermaid too (it isn't too mermaidy). I thought the wedding and the HM would motivate me, but I just LOVE food too much. Sigh

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

I am terrified because I am going to get the call any day now that my dress is in and it isn't going to fit right now! I was bad eating all last week but I am back on track now. (We'll see how long I can keep it up.)

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

I definitely eat more when I am stressed...you are not alone!

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

You sound like me 7 months ago...

I was getting so nervous because I couldn't stop eating. Believe me, the pounds begin to shed about 1 month up until the day of your wedding. You will notice you'll be eating a lot but loosing instead of gaining...that's nerves for ya.

If you ask me it was the best part of the planning

Me! Me! Me! I have about 3 months left! I just ran on the treadmill but I don't think its enough to burn off all I've been eating!!!!!!!!! Oh no!

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

see my problem is i don't eat and i think it's screwing up my metabolism even more than it already is! i've been told to eat 5 or 6 small meals all day long instead of 3 big ones...but I barely have time for the 3 let alone stopping to have 5 or 6!!! FH says i should set a timer on my phone to go off every 3 hours to remind me to eat something, it will help to balance out your metabolism and burn fat quicker. whatever it takes, my dress arrived yesterday and i need to lose the weight!!!!

Re: My Wedding is 2 months away and I can't stop.....

I just read an article in a health magazine, while working out at the gym. The article said that eating for some people gives them a sense of peace because they are not thinking about the stressful things when they eat. But be careful, the article also went on to say that this can lead to binge eating, which can become an addiction and that is very unhealthy. Next time you feel like eating, it could mean your thirsty. Try drinking water with lemon or lime for a little flavor. And if you really must eat, have a bag of baby carrots, celery, or unbuttered popcorn if you must. Go to the gym and hit the weights to help with stress. Good luck.
