It's time for ...
... again ladies (and my Mister). And today's topic IS ...
I 'WISH' .... I had the willpower to stay on one particular diet, and it would be the ALMOST carb-less diet I was AWESOME about being on up until my wedding!
... and then I promptly went on my honeymoon and ate my weight in bread gained 20 lbs a little bit due to depriving myself for the past 4 years such a long time. This "diet" is what achieved me being in this shape ...

And mind you, all these pictures were taken BEFORE I went on my psychotic, drill sargeantesque "it's 1 1/2 weeks before my wedding, I want to be even SKINNER" diet and lost 12 lbs. Yes, you read that right 12 LBS in a week and a half. And yes, I ate. Low carb EVERYTHING and ran 2 miles every night. Crazy. CRAZY I tell you! But hey, it worked. And like I said, I may or may NOT have gained those 12 lbs back on my honeymoon. HELLO free breakfast buffet. Carb LOAD. Except I wasn't training for any sort of marathon. More like a carb-a-thon.
SO what diet do you wish YOU had the willpower to stay on? Head over to Kelsey's darling little blog, grab her button, do a little posty-postin' of your own and go back and tell her about it! Mmmmmk?
Happy Wednesday loves, the week's half over!!!

Summer :0)
Geesh! You are a skinny mini in these pics! That is some crazy will power!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures (: You look great no matter what so shush to anyone who says different!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh the pre-wedding diets. They are such a scam because after the wedding is over and you're so "happy", everything goes downhill. And yes, I think I gained about 30 pounds on my honeymoon, too. All we did was EAT! Ha :)
ReplyDeleteIf i had the willpower I wouldnt eat carbs but id probably die cause I eat so much now...hahaha. You are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to stick to a diet. The only diet that worked for me was my divorce! I lost 20 lbs on that one :)
ReplyDeleteI also did the low carb diet. I had 20 carbs a day and I lost 50 lbs! :)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog through WW, super cute, you have a new follower!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I did something like that my freshman year of college I told myself I couldn't gain that freshman 15. I think I like my 'healthy' look now and not that skinny-mini me and the same goes for you too! :)
ReplyDeleteHOLY MOLY!!!! 12 pounds is crazy... well I think you look great now =)
ReplyDeleteI almost chocked when seeing you lost 12 pounds in a week and a half haha! You must have gotten wasted at your wedding (no eating and any amount of alcohol does NOT mix well) haha! I can see how this "diet" would NOT be easy to keep up!
ReplyDeleteYou are too cute!! Thanks for sharing if a wedding day ever comes for me then I will have to remember the low card thing... it will be hard because I love pasta!!!
ReplyDeleteYou were beautiful then and are just as beautiful, if not more, now pretty lady! Hey! You have an anniversary coming up! YIPPEE!! 5 years! We'll be the big 5 in September! :) XOXO
ReplyDeleteI loved, loved, loved my wedding/lingerie showers! Even though that time was super stressful, I wish I could go back and relive that part. It was nice to be princess for a while!
ReplyDeleteYou look great girl!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! I swear I am right there next to you as you write, and that's why I love you! You are gorgeous now and beautiful then, but I totally know what you mean since I have been there. I would love to be able to cut carbs out all together, but I don't think I ever EVER ever could. So I will try to be smarter with carbs.
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable in ALL your photos! I've tried to the carb-less diets a few times, mainly before my wedding too, but I end up stuffing my face with desserts ASAP!
ReplyDeleteLOL I love that you can look at yourself and laugh at how silly that was "mini-me"! You are so gorgeous now!
ReplyDeleteha....didnt we ALL have the will-power before our weddings?!? oh those were the days!
ReplyDeleteI WISH that I could be on a carb-a-thon diet and NOT gain wieght! How come some skinny b's can just eat and eat?! Life isnt fair :(
Oh I'm lovin it!
ReplyDeleteI think we alll fasted for that WEDDING moment!!!!!
You look GREAT then and NOW!
We alll deserve to be our skinnnnnnnnniest on the BIG wedding day!
I'm trying to stick to WWatchers!
I like my oatmeal and jiffy Pop 98% ff popcorn too much to go low carb....but I know it works!
Gotta get off this computer and workout!
xxooxx
I think I would die if I went carbless.
ReplyDeleteI did the insane diet before my wedding too. Except it was totally unintentional. Way too much family stress, a ridiculously high maintenance MOH, law school finals = 8lbs off. Oopies!
