Hi@Julia Lodge.
I have found this approach to eating to be revolutionary. My attitude to eating has totally changed; I now only eat one meal a day, usually in the evening, but if we go out for lunch I'll eat then, and not have anything else. I no longer feel obliged to clean my plate. If I don't feel hungry I won't have anything.
Hopefully, you'll find your way of doing things. As a lifelong carbohydrate lover I have generaaly cut out bread, pasta, rice and potatoes; not because they are not allowed, but because I'm so much better without them. I very rarely eat cakes or pastries for the same reason.
I've lost more weight than I imagined was possible and am currently deciding whether I want to go much further. I too got married in the middle of my weight loss journey. I'm convinced that you will be able to lose weight for your big day. Just stick with it, and try not to be too impatient.
As far as I'm concerned, this is for life, not just for Christmas ( or the wedding, or whatever big event is scheduled) !
Good luck with your weight loss journey ( with added health benefits)
Regards,
Bracken.
