Wedding planning has a way of bringing our attention back to our bodies.
When I reviewed questionnaires completed by the brides and couples I have met, 71% said they wanted to lose weight before their wedding.
But the number is not where I want the conversation to end.
Why does losing weight feel important to you?
How do you want to feel on your wedding day?
What is happening in your life right now?
How much capacity do you realistically have to make changes?
I believe people are capable of meaningful change. I also believe the plan needs to be built around their actual lives.
Sometimes our work results in weight loss. Sometimes the focus shifts toward nourishment, sleep, stress, movement, or building a foundation that may make weight loss more sustainable later.
That shift does not mean the original goal failed.
It means we are paying attention to the person behind the number.
I explore this more deeply in this week’s Wellness Wednesday, “When the Picture Changes.”
