I just left David’s Bridal a few days ago and tried on some wedding dresses. They were really nice to me, had lots of beautiful dresses and made me feel welcomed. Everyone there gave me there undivided attention and made me feel like a princess. I can’t wait for the day I marry my prince charming.
My experience trying on dresses was wonderful and exciting. I loved trying on the dresses and it was hard to pick which one I liked and loved. All fitted so nicely. Some dresses gave me slimming figure and other didnt flatter me at all. I was so happy and emotionally on a great high seeing me in the beautiful dresses. They put on the vail and some jewelry to see myself in the mirror and I looked beautiful.
Sorry but I can’t pretend and lie to you all. I wish it was as wonderful as I had mentioned but it wasnt. I know that everything that I had mention is what people want to hear but I’m not here to sugar coat things and tell you that being a big girl and trying on wedding dresses was easy because it wasnt. It was really depressing for me that day when I tried on the dresses. I know its supposed to be one of the most exciting things about your wedding to try on all the beautiful gowns but it wasnt for me. Moving here to Texas and having no friends or family to share these special moments really took its toll on me at David’s bridal because I was alone. I always pictured my mother, sister and my best friends there helping me pick out my dress. To see their reactions as I walk out of the fitting room wearing “THE ONE” would have been priceless. But there I was all alone looking in the mirror seeing each wedding dress trying to hold back my tears. Oh how I wished this experience was different. I tried not to think too much about it but it was hard. It wasnt special at all. The worst of it all was nothing really fitted me anyways! So probably it was for the best that no one was here. I would have been more embarrassed than what I already was. I barely fitted into a size 26 and that sucks. I only have so much time to lose weight and I just started. I just finished crying my eyes out to my fiance because I’m so upset with myself gaining all this weight. He just held me and told me everything will be just fine and that no matter what I will be a beautiful bride. I know I’m my worst enemy and I can’t help that but just put yourself in my shoes, wouldn’t you feel the same? I’m gonna try my hardest to lose this weight and I really need to be hard on myself. No slacking off! Well, I have another appointment Wednesday at David’s bridal so hopefully I will snap into a better mood when trying out the other dresses. Wish me luck and please keep me in your prayers I need them.
Prayer said.
I hear your pain and anguish. I’m a guy so I can’t quite relate to that particular moment in your time so I wont pretend to. I’m sure I can speak for everyone following you that we want to see you succeed and be happy! Keep working at it. If you aren’t exercising then I would suggest that some cardio everyday will help. I know you know what to do. Just don’t give up!
I really appreciate your honesty! I can relate to the horrible shopping experiences. I’m not married or engaged, so I don’t know about wedding dresses, but I do know about regular clothing. It’s depressing when you feel like nothing fits or looks right. But you’re not alone! I’m a size 28, so our clothing options are limited. But you WILL find the perfect dress! Don’t settle on anything less than exactly what you want! I think you look beautiful in the dress you posted!
Keep your head up and stay on this track of healthy that you’re on. It will get easier and you have tons of support in your blog followers!
P.S. You don’t have to be hard or negative about yourself. I’m a firm believer in positive thinking and positive thoughts. If you think good and positive thoughts, it will radiate out and others will see it as well! Good luck on Wednesday with dresses and can’t wait to hear about it!
