My social media has been a little quiet recently… I got caught up planning my wedding so content took the backseat for a while!
On 09.30.2023 I was lucky enough to marry my person. We had a beautiful wedding down in Cape Cod, MA. It was an incredible day all around!
That being said, I do want to address a common thought when getting married: “I need to lose weight to fit into my dress” “I should restrict my food the week before to reduce bloating and maybe drop a few pounds before the big day”
I won’t lie, a few times I had to talk myself out of these thoughts. I would catch myself and say “No, I do not need to change my body for my wedding day”. It is so easy to let those negative voices win.
Even being a professional who encourages clients daily to find other indicators of success towards nutrition goals besides the scale (like energy levels, how their food is making them feel, etc..), I still find myself occasionally having some diet culture centered thoughts. Changing your mindset takes continuous effort and lots of practice!
So for anyone out there getting ready for a big event (wedding or non-wedding), I invite you to challenge your negative body image thoughts and embrace your beautiful self. Celebrate your love while thanking your body for all it has done to get you to that joyous day 💕💍🎉
PS - stay tuned for more content coming soon!! And the official name change 😜
