mom2tripp wrote: SO I have that wedding this weekend and I have two dresses that I can't decide between. You guys I have been working out like crazy--lost 6 pounds--WELLLL I've always had a prob with my lower stomach I just have a little pouch down there. I tried both dresses on and I think I look like total CRAP. I'm going to see a lot of people from college that I haven't seen in a really long time and now I totally don't want to go.

Thanks for letting me vent

KingMom replied: Kristi -

I'm sure you will look awesome, I always think you do. Who's wedding??

mckayleesmom replied: Take a picture and let us see...I need visuals...Your probably just being to hard on yourself. I have seen your pictures...your adorable.

mom2tripp replied:
Thank you Whitney but today I'm just feeling disgusting. It's my college friend Katie I don't know if you've ever met before or not???

mom2tripp replied:
Thank you Brianne I will get my mom to take some tonight and post tomorrow but you have to be brutally honest here this is REALLY important!

KingMom replied: Nope, don't think I've met Katie. Why don't take a pic, let us see!

My2Beauties replied: I'm sure you look absolutely gorgeous in both dresses hon! Don't be so hard on yourself, you are so pretty!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Yeah, don't be so hard on yourself! You are such a beautiful woman and if there is anyone there with a sense of what one goes through when having a baby, they'll understand that we all have "the pouch". Don't let it ruin your time at the wedding!

mom2tripp replied: Thank you guys I knew you would have kind words, it's just hard to see people that you haven't seen in a really long time and the last time I saw them I was super thin! I'll post the pics tomorrow!

moped replied: Ahhh Krisit, I am sorry you are feeling down. I understand, but I also know that you look fantastic too..............is this maybe an opportunity to buy a new dress??????????

ammommy replied: I'm sorry you feel down. If there really is a pooch, have you tried a body slimmer? Nancy Gantz (sp?) makes some good ones that you can breathe in. For some reason, they don't just displace the pudge either above or below the garment, they really slim you down.

kit_kats_mom replied: what about a panty girdle? They help to hold things in & smooth out lines. Not the most comfortable things around but I've been known to wear them in my day.

3xsthefun replied: Oh, hon I'm sorry you are feeling down. I am sure you will look great!

moped replied:
I bet you will be the bell of the ball!!!

Really

And if you post pics I will be brutally HONEST I promise!!!

I will even phone you and tell you what I think!

kimberley replied: i am sure you look beautiful in either dress. keep in mind, they are probably not as super thin as they used to be. for all you know they could be 200lbs and wrinkly and gray lol. well, you know what i mean. you are there to have a good time.. it's not high school anymore, so just have fun!

CantWait replied: Ok I'm sure you'll absolutely radiant in either dress, but if you don't feel like that, why not go with kit_kats idea (I thought of it also before I seen her post) and go with a tummy tucker.

holley79 replied: Honey you have nothing to worry about. I'm a bridesmaid next month. Everyone in the bridal party weighs 100 pounsd soak and wet. I am up to 228 pounds and prego with a capital P.

You will look wonderful, which ever dress you choose.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Sorry...I missed this yesterday. I had to see what the dresses were for.

I kwym about the pooch. I have that also. No matter what I do I will never have a totally flat stomach. I will say that I don't see a pooch on you, but if you see it, you see it and I know how you feel. I was super thin in h.s, too. I didn't want to show up at my reunion looking like a cow kwim? Of course I have 2 kids now so I am fine with some weight gain. I could be writing your post.

You are beautiful...you have a GREAT SMILE!!! You will look gorgeous, I promise! And more than likely, when you get there it won't be as important as it is now. YOu will just be happy to be around your friends again!
