Calling all *Curvacious* women!!

Kelly- I love your outlook! You look stunning in your pics!

from one chunky chic to another "damn i wanna be as beautiful as you on my wedding day"! I think you looked stunning beautiful and HAPPY!!!!! Congrats girl

Kelly and Ashley - you both look amazing in your dresses!!!!

I had a mini-breakdown the other night, crying because I was going to be a fat bride. UGH! BUT, this is who I am right now and I just have to accept it. I am so looking forward to this wedding. It's only 6 weeks away now, so it's not like I can lose 100 lbs by then! lol

We are ALL beautiful women, no matter what we weight or what our size is!!

Lisa- you will be beautiful!!! Dont worry about it, I gained 1 lb per day in Cabo, I ate salt and drank my face off, I loved every second of my amazing wedding vaca with my family and friends, I was not going to get all worried about trying to slipm down any more, I had lost 40lbs and 4 dress sizes. That is enough for me.

Good news, my little sis got engaged yesterday.

Kelley- I am pretty healed from the accident. I have a lot of scarring on my upper lip, and a little on my nose. And there is some redness left on my chin from the "road" rash, but that will fade. I havent had time or been motivated enought to post pics formally so. I will give one of my fav threads a sneak peak.

Opps posted before I was done and then had major photobucket issues!

Kelley- so here are some more pics of my face, MY bff is a prof makeup artist and she covered the scars really well, I am not even sure if Jereome had to photo shop them at all. Also I think my fake teeth look totes good too!

Ya, Erika, you totally CAN'T EVEN TELL! Congrats!

Lisa - trust me, you ARE going to look stunning on your wedding day

Thank you to all my other ladies here for your comments. I couldn't believe that I felt so good on the big day. The years leading up to my wedding day, I always said that geting married would be my motivation to lose weight. Well, I was wrong. I never even tried. I never went to the gym once after we got engaged.

I honestly believe it has alot to do with Pablo. He met me when I was this big, and truely loves me for who I am. He doesn't care about my weight. He finally made me accept myself for who I am. After meeting him, I don't focus on my "looks" anymore.

I am still concerned about my weight as it is starting to give me health problems, so hopefully I can start to lose a little

Big improvement from the before photos!!!

Kelley - you have a great attitude and if you decide to try to lose a little weight to be healthier your attitude will totes help you!

Thanks Susie. When I look at my pics it always looks like my gown was falling down even though i know it wasn't. My seamstress sewed my bra into the gown. The ladies at the bra shop told me that someone with my bra size should never wear a sweetheart neckline bc bras in my size are mainly full coverage, but hey I pulled it off. I always think to myself "girls are paying for what God gave me naturally" lol. I really may need to look into a reduction at some point. My wedding pics made me think that my breasts were really exaggerated but my hubby's like no they really are that big. I never noticed them being that big before. Oh well.

Erika I know this'll sound weird but your face looks awesome. I see no signs of the accident. Your blessed. I was in a bad accident a few years ago (my bm was driving drunkish and fell asleep at the wheel I was already sleep) and the airbag burned my face. It was horrible. At one point when I was being discharged from the hospital and my face made a little kid think I was a monster and she was literally hiding behind her mom crying. I freaked out. But that was like 6 yrs ago and I have not one scar now,

Ladies I hear you.. I had a really rough day on Monday, I picked up my wedding dress from the seamstress and bought it home. I wasn't feeling the love for my dress, I wanted to burn it honestly. I called my gfriend and she made me bring it to her house and try it on. I did and her face made me feel like a million bucks when she seen me in my dress. I totally had a meltdown and asked myself what I really needed to change right now that mattered. Scarey "I'd change my attitude towards myself... I am never kind to myself...

Long and short of this 2am story is my gfriend has my dress and I am not getting it back until I am ready to leave for my wedding. She told me "your not size 2 get your head around that, you have many friends that love you for who you are", and kicker she reminded me that i have a wonderful man that loves me.

She did take a couple of pics and I am hoping she does send them to me. Hopefully she will and not make me suffer with nothing lol... i know I am not getting the dress back until i leave.
