My wedding date is approaching, but I’ve gained a bit of weight lately. My family is pressuring me with comments like, ‘You can’t go out like this,’ but I’m trying to make peace with myself. Can I feel beautiful without losing weight? Or how can I get rid of this pressure?
It’s not mandatory, but if there’s pressure, you’re thinking about it, you see.
I felt pressure before my wedding, to be honest; my mom kept complaining. But in the last week, I didn’t care about my weight at all; it didn’t matter.
Honestly, I’m curious, what do you say when they talk about family? Do you nod your head or argue?
I’m sorry, but this is a bit about what you want. You’re saying you’re reconciling, but you’re still letting what your family says get to you; it seems a bit mixed up.
@yazipsildim I usually stay quiet, but I’m internally bothered. They’re saying things like ‘you should dress fit’ and I don’t push back to avoid escalating the tension.
@aklimkaldi well, if you always stay quiet to avoid tension, this pressure will continue after the wedding too. Maybe you could suggest that they try to gently express their opinions?
Physically losing weight may not be healthy in the short term, especially during stressful times. It would be good to speak gently yet clearly to get rid of the pressure. Don’t get involved in quick diets that promise weight loss.
