So I was asked to be a bridesmaid in my sister-in-laws wedding back in March. At the time I was three months pregnant and they didn’t set a date yet so I wasn’t completely stressed. Well about a month later the date was set to November 16th if this year. Yup, this up coming Saturday. Now I’m almost 2 months post second baby and I have been dieting and trying to get my figure back somewhat so I can look good. Now I tried the dress on last weekend for her at the bachelorette party and it fit great and I felt great. I had only gone up one size, a 14 to a 16 so I wasn’t unhappy. We even picked a dress that would hide my saggy lower stomach and any extra weight I had left. Well then she decided that my dress was too low and because I had the biggest boobs out of everyone that we need to go and get the straps pulled up so my chest wasn’t so exposed. I agreed because it’s her wedding and I get it, my boobs would be distracting. So we went Monday and had it taken in and I picked it up today. I got home and asked my husband to help me try it on and zip it up.

GUYS!! It’s now tighter because of the intake of my shoulder straps and now I’m extremely self-conscious of myself when I wasn’t. I can’t even fit a bra under my dress now. I feel completely embarrassed because all the other bridesmaids are size 0s and I’m a 16. Yes, I just had my second baby but fuck. If it wasn’t because of this intake I would have been just fine but now I feel disappointed in myself for not working harder.

Only good news is I’ll be walking with my daughter (flower girl) and the other bridesmaid son (ring bearer) so people should be more focused on them.
