Getting hitched is supposed to be the best way to lose weight, according to new research. So why is it that just a few short weeks before my wedding I am struggling to shove my flabby bits into my dress?
It’s not like I haven’t tried to shift those excess pounds, but for some frustrating reason I am still the pudgy, round-faced woman I was when my Mr proposed. “I love you just the way you are and you are perfect,” he chimes at all the right moments.
But still the red mist descends and I spend my time worrying that I will be rolled down the aisle like a giant beach ball instead of glide down it like an hour glass-figured angel. In desperation I have bought a corset, which instead of solving all of my unflattering problems, has caused even more.
The contraption is more difficult to keep under control than a spooked horse.
I have wrestled with it three times since purchasing it and not once have I managed to fasten it all the way up.
So now I have the worry of not only trying to fit into my beautiful dress but also trying to wrangle my way into the corset that is supposed to keep me looking thin and fabulous.
And I am still left with the problem of my wobbly bits.
Maybe the answer lies with the people who released the research – I’m willing to bet my lucky silver sixpence that they are all thin and gorgeous and pride themselves on making ever-so-slightly plump brides like myself feel like the fattest belle at the wedding ball.
But sitting here pondering the dress size of the researchers is not helping me to squeeze into my wedding dress.
Time to be proactive – where is that shoehorn?
AWEsome stuff!
