Is your Pinterest full of fitness tips, healthy diet options, easy workouts and weight loss solutions but you're sitting there reading this, eating buttery popcorn and a box of cookies?
Me too!
I have no solutions for you or even tips, all I can say is that the wedding is creeping up on me and I'm doing nothing to improve my weight and figure except pin about it. It's even more embarrassing because I work at a gym. I have a FREE membership, like what the heck!? I work out like I blog - RARELY. Maybe as my posts increase so will my gym attendance.
I will also mention that I'm terrified of the gym, there are two types of people out there the ones that are extremely motivated and the ones that are done. I frankly don't fit into either category. I feel incredibly out of place, therefore I choose not to go.
Happy Health Kickin'.

I Quit
It has become increasingly hard to plan a wedding in todays society. You see all these ideas on Pinterest that you think will work and you want to recreate but its difficult and it never turns out how you think it will. There is also the competition of keeping all your ideas a secret and trying to make it so your wedding is memorable and fun for everyone. There is an average average of 150 guests that attend a wedding which means 150 mouths to feed, 150 opinions to combat, and 150 people to please; even though this day is supposed to be about the Bride and Groom. It is incredibly difficult to please everyone involved and make everything work on a budget. Someone is always going to be upset or feel unhappy.
My fiance and I have run into problem after problem. We got engaged in August and the whole wedding was planned by December for us to wed in July. We were pumped and happy but then crap hit the fan to say the least. First, we ran into the problem of who to sit where because so and so doesnt get along with so and so. Second problem was with people plus ones. We love the invitee but not the person they are dating so how do we tell them that their significant other is not invited: YOU DON'T, but they aren't. Then, we ran into people competing to get married before us. (WTF?! get a life) Our venue then fell through, I want an outdoor wedding with flowers and sunshine, but we were unable to find a park to get married in. So where does that leave us? Well, you quit.
We aren't quitting to give into pressure, or let the others win, we are quitting pleasing people. Frankly, I am over it. I refuse to deal with the idea that your wedding day is about anyone but the Bride and Groom. ((If you are attending a wedding, do EVERYTHING in your power to support the bride's decisions and wishes.)) Wilson and I quit to make everything easier. We decided to change everything and elope and I couldn't be happier. I guess elope isn't the right word its more of a very small destination wedding. With the money we saved from canceling the wedding, we are able to fly my family to Hawaii to do the ceremony there. This means the only people we are pleasing is ourselves.
I refuse to spend my whole life trying to please people and make anyones wishes come true but our own. What is important to Wilson and I is to make it known to each other that we 1: love each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together and 2: make a commitment to each other, in front of the people we love, that in the midst of trial and success we will love and support each other in everything. Weddings aren't about pleasing and appeasing everyone. It's strictly about the commitment and covenant you're making to your spouse to be. Anyone that supports that and is willing to put our needs above their feelings will understand.
