Avoid Wedding Nerves Weight Gain

If a bride tells you that she's not worried about fitting into her wedding dress, then she is probably lying. While the stress of planning a wedding can cause a lot of women to forget about eating, others find comfort in nibbling a little more or can't find time to exercise.

The result is a wedding dress that needs to be taken out, rather than in at the final fitting. And every bride fears this.

Keeping your dress

When it comes to staying in shape, you need to think of a few things before weighing yourself constantly. First of all, your health is number one at this time. You are under a lot of pressure, so you need to make sure that your body is able to handle it well.

To do this, you will want to find some way to incorporate exercise into your life. Of course, you might laugh and wonder where you'll ever find the time, but know that you should. Even if it's just fifteen minutes a day, you need to walk, run, bike, whatever.

Exercise creates stress resistance. You've heard the expression of blowing off steam by going out for a run, well it works. Not only are you creating a great distraction for your body and mind, but you're also strengthening your body for any added pressure.

Of course, burning calories is always nice.

Watching the nibbles

Mindlessly nibbling is the quickest way to gain weight. And even though you don't have the time to prepare the healthiest of meals, you may want to consider healthier choices. Finding salads with low-fat dressing is good, but overall, they're not very filling. You can actually go to the drive-thru and get a burger; it just shouldn't be the biggest one on the menu. Choose the plain hamburger and a salad it's a quick and filling meal.

You will want to watch the sweets for a while. These can cause you to want to eat more and that's the last thing that you want.

When you're having your fittings for your wedding dress, you will want to be honest about what you can wear. Just because you want to wear a size six dress doesn't mean that your size ten body is going to magically shrink to accommodate you. Be realistic about what you're going to be able to wear and tell the person who is altering the dress if something is too tight.

You don't want to be an uncomfortable bride now, do you?
