Oh I so get the diet thing for the wedding...A very good friend of mine back in SF went on diet of just 800-900K for 4 months for the wedding. She is 5.6 and a typical chinese structure. She just wanted to weigh less then 100lbs for her wedding. She ate just fruits and yogurts. Her skin looked very radiant sure but too skinny. She was size 00 and after the wedding she bounced back to 0 or sometimes 2. My another gori frd had gone crazy, she was plesantly healthy...she lost 18lbs and gained all that after 2 months post marriage😆. One guy even suggested to my frd's sister that she should join gym and make abs as they would look good when she wears sarees and crop tops when they travel outside of India.🤢 I was shocked at the last one
I'm happy with where I am Shev. It's sometimes quite shocking to see others give unsolicited advice about weight; I guess it shows their opinion and perception about the person they are giving the unwanted free advice to. I know most girls tend to go on a diet pre-wedding, but I don't agree with the word diet itself. I personally love to eat so I know I can't live on boiled cabbage and chilli lemonade for the next six months, nor do I think that eliminating a certain food group entirely is the way to go. It's just not happening because that weight loss, as you mentioned, will be unmaintainable. I generally have balanced eating (except for when I indulge in pizza like this afternoon 😛) and workout habits so I'm absolutely happy with how I look. Could I afford to lose 5-10 pounds? Yeah maybe, but I know I will gain it all back and then some most likely because I seem to plateau consistently at my current weight. The scales haven't moved too much up or down since my senior year of high school. I do plan to cut down on the excessively oily foods for some time because yes it does improve the look of your skin and hair, but that's about it. And if S would so care to see me in a saree with a six pack, then he better sweat it out and build himself one first...after all, I need motivation don't I? 😉 😆
