🧭 Preparation & choosing a spouse · #131

I feel pressured to lose weight quickly before the wedding day. Is that wise?

Looking after your health is good, but extreme dieting for wedding photos can harm your body and emotions. Your body is a trust, and the goal is to be healthy for life after the wedding, not just beautiful for one day. Avoid slimming pills, extreme fasting or unregistered products. Choose changes you can keep up after marriage, such as cutting sweet drinks and brisk walking a few times a week. If the pressure comes from comments by family or your future spouse, answer calmly, ‘I am looking after my health in a healthy way.’ If you have a medical condition or want to lose a lot of weight, talk with a doctor or dietitian. See mental health.
