Brideorexia?

I am working on a research proposal currently for one of my classes. I had no idea what I was going to use as a topic because I really am not interested in research that much..until now. Upon telling people about my wedding dress, I got numerous responses asking if I am losing weight for my dress or will lost weight. Being in nutrition, I replied of course not, the dress has to fit me not the other way around. Hence, this is my inspiration for my research proposal. I am only proposing this design and not acutally doing the research. But did you know they actually have coined the tems "brideorexia" and "wedding anorexia nervosa?" I was stunned. Anyway I am really interested in these facts and my proposal revolves around soon to be brides and the onset of an eating disorder. Cool, huh?

very interesting! I would fit in that category. I didn't loose much- but I remember doing all kinds of stuff to lose weight for the wedding!

well...since Mom bought my dress a little after Brian and I were engaged I have now had it for over two years. I have become a little bustier since we first bought it. I am not willing however to loose boobs!! :) Thus my dress will have to be taken out a little for me to be able to breathe!!!
