I am a happy fiancée and soon I will say the sacramental “yes”. Preparations for the wedding and reception started with my fiancé over a year ago. Soon after, I started looking for my dream wedding dress, which I wanted to wear on the most beautiful day of my life. I knew that she wanted a dress from a professional salon, and it would take a while to sew it, so I think that looking for a dress a year before the wedding was the perfect moment. But I didn’t realize it would be so difficult. There was a detail in each dress that bothered me, and my weight bothered me the most.

“I got on the scale and saw that I weigh the most in my life”

I went to the fitting with my sister and mother. It’s a duo that always told me the truth, even if I liked something, they could negate it, but that’s what I meant. In the third wedding dress salon I found the one. Mom and sister were enchanted and my eyes just lit up. I felt this was the one she wanted to wear on the most beautiful day of my life. It was a wonderful feeling.

You could say that everything was right except for one thing, because I felt fat in this dress.

When I got home, after fitting, I stepped on the scale and saw that I weighed the most in my life – 66 kg. Probably some future brides would take such weight blindly, but I broke down and decided to take care of myself.

“I started by drinking water and tried to drink at least 3 liters a day”

I have always liked an active lifestyle, but I was far from healthy eating. I loved the pizza and chips. I ate fast food a lot, especially in the evenings. Plus, I was working remotely, so this body was changing, unfortunately for the worse. I knew I had to lose weight and I wanted it so bad. I started by drinking water and tried to drink at least 3 liters a day. When the bottle was within reach, it was no problem, worse when I was busy with something, but I stuck to it. For me, water stimulated metabolic processes and contributed to faster fat burning. I also tried to eat meals at regular times.

I rarely ate after six, and I didn’t eat white bread or pasta. I couldn’t afford the boxes, but I was losing weight anyway. Two simple changes helped.

My fiancé encouraged me to be physically active and we started going to the gym in the evenings. I was running on the treadmill and doing cardio. After a few weeks, I noticed a significant improvement in my well-being, and the kilos were flying. I felt good in my body, and my favorite jeans were already too big for me.

“The ladies were shocked because they saw my sensational metamorphosis. After all, I liked myself for the first time”

When I went to the final fitting of the wedding dress, I cried from the impression, looking in the mirror. I saw a completely different girl. I had the firm body I had always dreamed of. The dress had to be tightened in many places.

The ladies were shocked because they saw my sensational metamorphosis. After all, I liked myself for the first time.

My weight loss was not a rat race or a race against time. I ate healthy and lost weight properly. I’m glad I was so determined. If it wasn’t for the support of my family, I would have given up a long time ago. I can’t wait to wear my dream wedding dress.
