Eat For You Dietitian

I had my first fitting for my wedding dress recently with the seamstress to start making any alterations needed. I bought my wedding dress about a year ago and at the time the zip didn’t quite do up all the way but Caroline, the bridal shop owner assured me that the seamstress could take it out and it would fit. I absolutely loved this wedding dress. It felt like me. After I bought my wedding dress I did write down my waist and hip measurement just in case. I eat for me, which you could say intuitively and also move intuitively for the past couple of years. 

Marie, the seamstress, did the hook up and zipped it all the way up. It fits, slightly tight though and I felt bloated after eating 2 bowls of chicken and rice and a packet of smarties at lunch before the fitting. My sister was laughing that I thought eating loads before a fitting was a good idea. I thought why not though as I plan to eat on my wedding day. It felt amazing seeing it all come together. We decided on the bustle at the back, possibly some extra additions and Marie felt that taking it out wouldn’t be necessary and that it would be difficult with the dress. 

Trying to tackle the thoughts in my head to start aiming for intentional weight loss is strong. Although Marie warned me against trying to lose too much weight as it will change the shape of how the dress will fall and it is falling nicely at the moment.

I move and eat for me, you could say intuitively. I have until 4 weeks before my wedding day until the final fitting we shall wait and see. What I need to remember is my body is enough but maybe I won’t have a mountain of carbohydrates before I next try on my wedding dress. I can’t wait to wear it. 

Remember your body is enough too.
