I keep looking at pictures and i look redicuously huge. I have flashbacks of when i was really over weight...and although I'm at the ''ideal'' weight for my height... i still feel like i look terrible.
My mom put a picture on the fridge and I just... wanted to cry. I couldnt believe how big i looked and i kept saying 'if tahts how i look im not getting married'
I run every morning and work out every night. Sit ups, squats, you name it.
I know Ive been retaining water...can that make you look bloaty all over?

Probably. I do the same thing. If I see a pic of me when I was bigger, I'll pull out a recent one and compare to see if Im back at that size.Its really bad to do that, but I do.

Jenny do no worry. You look great in all your pics. believe me, I know how you feel. I have gained so much weight from when FH and I started dating..so when I see pics of myself now I get upset. I started heading back to the gym and am starting portion control. I just know I so do not want to walk down the aisle looking like I do now. No worries, you guys look awesome! BTW my FH is a Vinny too!

Re: so disgusted with myself lately..long rant
I think we're all our worst critics. I keep complaining about my weight too and fh thinks I'm crazy. Just keep up what you're doing, keep your eye on the prize and dont drive yourself crazy. Think about how much your fh loves you and how you look.... that must mean something! Cheer up little lady!

Re: so disgusted with myself lately..long rant
Aww first of all i think you look great & yes we definitely are hardest on ourselves. But i do understand how you would be scared of gaining it back since it was alot to lose in the first place! Sometimes working out alot bloats our muscles (believe it or not) sometimes you need to rest for a week let them recover & then go back into it. That can help with bloating. As for regular bloat B12 or drinking alot of water to flush your system works or try Jillians 5lb weght loss (bloat) drink. It really helps & its for 1 week. Cheer it up sweets your fab!

Re: so disgusted with myself lately..long rant
Cheer up! I think that you look great! I am in the same boat as you... dropped alot of weight a few years back, but once my father passed away, I gained MOST of it back... Soo..I'm still working it off. I'm already down about 4 dress sizes... My FH thinks i'm nuts b/c I keep on pushing myself the extra mile. He says I'm fine just the way I am. But, since i'm not satisfied, taht's what matters. Just hang in there... it''ll all work out fine. You'll be a beautiful bride!!

Re: so disgusted with myself lately..long rant
I just looked at your pics and I personally think you look great! Maybe you are indeed bloated. But think to yourself- is there anything you have changed? Sometimes we change some of our habits without realizing it. Maybe an extra mile when you run may help. Don't worry- this happens to all of us! You'll be fine!

Re: so disgusted with myself lately..long rant
we are def our own worst critics. I look at pics from a few years ago and think..what was wrong with me thinking i was fat then. But remember too that as we get older our metabolism changes. As long as you keep up doing what you're doing I would try not to get upset. You're def doing something about it by exercising. And i still think you look great anyway!

Re: so disgusted with myself lately..long rant
Looking our best is something we want not just for the wedding, but always, believe me, I know it's a struggle, I lost about 40 lbs a number of years ago, I'm doing WW nw and I've lost 15lbs, FH thinks I'm fine and I know I'm not, I work out every day, and I feel like it's never good enough, you're not alone though, we all feel the same way I'm sure!

I know exactly how you feel. I was put on meds also and gained almost 40 pounds. I am still trying to get it off. Don't let it get the best of you. Keep you head up! You are going to look fabulous for your wedding
