    i've become a bridezilla! lmao.. or maybe not. here's to hoping..

    so, when i initially tried on my dress i was fine. there was room to take in blah blha blhja. Time for my 2nd fitting: (which also happened to be the first day of my period) i'm bloated and feel horrible... and there's no more room to take my dress in! i've written a post about this already so let's skip to this week.

    the seamstress said the first set of alterations won't be ready till the 26th, and we'll do a last fitting to see if anything does indeed need to be taken in. the only problem is, by then, "Aunt Flow" will be back in town and i'll be once again.. bloated.. :[

    I called to see if i could go for a fitting this week. she was hesitant at first b/c she said my dress had all it's pins in place and she didn't want to remove them  blah  blah.. she said to just wait till the 26th.. that's when the bridezilla feeling came over me!

    though i was nice about it i explained i'd be in the same dilema i was a few weeks ago and that i really thought it was better if i went in this week. idk. am i crazy? in denial about weight gain? lmao.. to be honest, my clothes are back to fitting like they should and i think the extra space will be back this time around.. you guys know how bad the bloating can get! if the extra room is not there, at least i'll know it wasn't just my period and i'll have peace of mind..

    oh yes, i think i've gone over to "the bad place"! 4.5 weeks and counting! :D :D

    Hmmm... Not that I EVER recomment taking these in real life, but could you try taking a diuretic the day of your fitting to get rid of all the water weight? I don't bloat, so I'm not really sure what else to tell you other than maybe to nicely insist on a different time for the fitting?

    lol mrs. moonbay!  you're not a bridezilla bc you're aware of yourself!  you're just stressed, and it's always hard for us brides to remember that no one cares as much about our weddings as we do :)

    stupid vendors, don't they get it? our wedding day is the most important day of their lives!!Wink

    Totally not a bridezilla - I bloat TERRIBLY during my period - I go up at least a pants size (seriously - I have 2 pairs of pants, a skirt, and a dress for work that I wear during that time) so I totally understand. There's no way I would want to continuously have a fitting when Aunt Flo's in town!

    hey - pamprin actually helps my bloating a lot.

    do you normally... just not take anything? I don't think I could do that, hahaha...

    but then, I'm a total pill popper.
