    If you don't normally wear heals but plan to the night of...(they make you look taller and thinner). Find a pair that is comfortable as you can get but still flattering (more flexible the better) Put a padded insole in the toe and arch if you have high arches. Wear the shoes and try to break them in by walking in them. If you don't typically wear heals wear some more frequently to get your feet used to them (like every day if you can) On the night of bring an extra pair of shoes with you to change into if you feet do get tired. You'll be more comfortable dancing and won't have to go bare foot, and you will have some comfort on the way home! If you really want to go for comfort and glam buy a pair of salsa heals with a platform toe! They are super comfy and still fancy enough for an event. May have to special order. Have fun!

    Every girl should have a pair of these in her purse, for weddings or special occasions:

    Walking in there like you own the place and looking FAB and confident as a size 16 is gonna be way better than acting shy or awkward or self-conscious as a size 12 would. Just own your own size and get a great dress and dance like crazy. Think Adele, Queen Latifah or Melissa McCarthy at the Academy Awards: These ladies are hot s*it and they know it, and they're not gonna let a few curves stop them from owning that red carpet.

    Don't stress about the plastic-surgeried airbrushed size 00 model types -- they're just angry all the time 'cause they haven't had any real food in a decade. Help yourself to real food at the wedding and make 'em all jealous.

    Confidence is attitude, not dress size.

    That's a bunch of crap. Have you ever seen a sad Victoria's secret angel?
    OP protein and tons of workouts, every other day should be fine. Try to meet your calorie goals and not cheat until the wedding.

    Ignore this narrow-minded body shaming 'advice'. And hey, while you're at it, check out this awesome ad campaign by Curvy Kate, "I'm No Angel":

    Oh yeah. Those women seem really happy. :trollface:
