Excerpt from the Introduction
" Wedding Dress Woes"
Continued from previous
page.
The Wedding Dress Diet
is not monotonous, but it is rigid . . . especially if,
like Fergie, you have only a blessed few weeks left till
your big day. We are going to coach you to be hyperstrict
about calories and exercising during the weeks or months
you are dieting. You have to be, because unlike most dieters,
you have a hard and fast deadline for losing the weight:
your wedding day. What makes our plan special, however,
is that you get to decide on the relative rigidity of
your personal plan. We provide a simple formula to enable
you to determine exactly how many calories you must limit
yourself to eating each day and how much exercising you
must do based on the weeks or months till your wedding
and the number of pounds you want to lose. Another silver
lining of the Wedding Dress Diet is that we give you lots
and lots of tips and guidelines so that, even after you've
reached your goal weight and can loosen up on your calorie
and exercise quotas, you can eat deliciously and nutritiously
while maintaining your weight loss forever and without
feeling deprived or hungry or simply bored to death.
There are lots of other features in this diet book that
make it so different from any other. For example:
We'll help you cope with this unique predicament:
While you may feel that, say, the four months you have
remaining till your wedding is ample time to reach your
goal weight, you may be stunned to discover that you must
order your wedding gown at least four to six months in
advance . . . that is, well before you achieve the body
you want!
With our chapter on selecting the right wedding dress,
we will not leave out advice for you if, for whatever
reason, you have not achieved the body you were hoping
for before your wedding. With our suggestions on selecting
the perfect neckline, skirt style, and so on, we will
show you how to maximize your particular figure assets
while minimizing those you're not happy with.
We are also very democratic. We recognize that most of
our readers will be first-time brides, but we don't forget
the second-time-around bride. In our exercise chapter,
for example, we address the needs of the woman who is
working on her second wedding and who may not have much
time or energy for working out because she may be juggling
not just a top-flight career but a couple of kids, as
well. Another example: In our chapter on selecting the
perfect wedding dress, we don't stop at helping brides
mask common but changeable problems, such as a protruding
tummy, but those who have irreversible "flaws," as well,
such as being very short in stature.
Finally--and once again--we won't abandon you at the altar!
Our book takes you well beyond your wedding day. We're
providing not just simple, delicious ways to maintain
your new figure for years to come, but also tips on such
topics as how to indulge but not overdo it on your honeymoon
and how to get your husband and your in-laws to adapt--or
at least tolerate and support--your new healthy lifestyle.
Congratulations on your engagement. And now, let's go,
girl.
