Just venting

In getting married in August, I still haven't even nearly lost baby weight from 2 years ago and Ive stupidly been lookin at old pictures from 3 years ago and it's made me so upset. I just had a major panic go through me where I felt like i couldn't breathe for a second thinking about what a daunting task I have in front of me. I'm so terrified of failing. I'm scared of not bring comfortable on my bug day and I'm scared of never being that happy, confident person from 3 years ago. I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack.

I havent been able to exercise the last week and I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. My 2 kids have chickenpox my eldest has it bad and isn't going to sleep til 2-3am then I'm up at 6:30 with youngest it's not an excuse I'm just so blooming tired exercise is the last thing on my mind! Maybe I'm wrong for not pushing through and please say if you think I'm being lazy!

Firstly: breathe. Your wedding is 6 months away thats a long time to turn things around. Just remember that your fiancee loves you otherwise he would not be marrying you, That is all that matters on the day.

Secondly: Your kids will not have chicken pox forever, just ride it though and it will get better.
Sometimes life does get in the way of exercise but if you manage your food intake correctly, you can still lose weight.

If you're too busy and tired for exercise, maybe you could focus on diet? I've lost pretty much all of my weight through diet change alone.

Good luck with the wedding stuff!

Thank you for the kind replies...I have just been researching healthy weight loss (need to focus on HEALTHY and not quick fix) and I did the Road Map thing. Need to keep the focus on becoming healthy and not what I look like, Im sorry if I came across as vain. Just had a proper freak out moment!

Yes 6 months is long enough if i commit and see this through. My goal before the wedding is only 2 stone so Im hoping this is realistic and possible.

Once again, thank you!
