My son is getting married this weekend and I hate to say it but I am practically dreading the event because of my weight. I don’t feel good in my dress and I am embarrassed about what the pictures will look like. I feel so selfish making this about me at all (I have not told anyone any of these feelings). I have done this for other big events too and it’s so disheartening to actively dread important events because I’m fat.
