Weight Loss for Brides Before The Big Day
It is not just the bride who is usually interested in losing weight before a wedding.
Very often, every bridesmaid and maid of honor also must consider losing weight before a wedding, especially if the required dresses for the big day are not so easy on hiding rolls or oversized thighs.
This same interest often extends to parents of the bride and groom as well as many friends and family members who want to look their best at the wedding.
With so many people setting the same goal of losing weight before a wedding, there should be tons of support for everyone to walk the aisle a little smaller.
If your goal is losing weight before a wedding and find your motivation lacking, look around at others on the guest list and find a weight loss crew.
Others who live near you and already know you personally can be great support to help you reach your goal, and since they are likely aiming for similar goals you can be a big motivation to them as well.
Just letting others know you are attempting losing weight before a wedding will open the door to find out about others who are as well.
Once the group is identified it is up to you how far you take it. From a pat on the back and a “you can do it” in passing to meeting at the park to workout together, there are lots of ways to support one another.
It is important on any weight loss journey to have someone you can call in a bad moment who will give you straight advice and help you make the best choices for your goal of losing weight before a wedding and your overall health in the long term as well.
If you can find a walking buddy or gym partner they can hold you accountable.
Tips for Bride to Lose Weight Before Wedding
Here are some tried and tested tips to help you with your goal:
- Start early: If you really want to lose some extra pounds just before the wedding, start at least three to six months before the D-day. Plan your fitness regime carefully with a good nutritionist and a trainer.
- Add some physical activity: Hit your gym/go for a walk/do some yoga or aerobics earlier in the day. The more you postpone this, the lesser the chances of success due to your hectic schedule before the wedding.
- Crash diets – Big No, No! Do not fall for any crash diet that promises quick weight loss – you run the risk of looking worn out and depressed on your big day.
- Small but frequent meals are good: Eat small, healthy frequent meals throughout the day. Apart from a good breakfast, lunch and a light dinner, grab something small every 2 hours (it could be just some groundnuts/a cup of milk/ some curd/an orange etc).
- Cook for weight loss: Start spending some time buying veggies and fruits. Try cooking exotic low-fat recipes at home. While it helps control your current weight, you are also consciously learning healthier cooking for your life after marriage.
- Balance your diet with supplements: Get your daily dose of vitamins with supplements. With all the stress and running around, you need it girl!
So, go shopping for your dream wedding dress/saree/ghagra now – you’re worth it.
