Default Attitudes towards bigger brides.

I too have found some expectations that I would be slimming before the big day. Not a hope! I have been on a restricted diet for 9 months \'cos of food sensitivities, and lost a stone in the first 3 WEEKS and went down a dress size from 20 to 18 (shame I haven\'t lost any more, or gone down another size...sighs!!lol) I am feeling much better though, and between acupuncture and this diet feel a lot better than this time last year.

However, I digress. The shops where it was suggested I would be dieting will not be having the benefit of my custom when it comes to purchasing a dress. The friend who went with me had made that mistake, losing 5 stone in 6 months before her wedding - and it is now all back on, along with some extra.
MY fiance met me when i was this size, and loves me - why should I be pressured into dieting?

Incidentally one shop owner was delighted to hear I wasn\'t dieting, as she sees the pressure it puts on B2B.
