Woman Says She Looked Like "Quasimodo" On Her Wedding Day

When 27-year-old blogger Amie and her fiancé had finally set a date for their wedding (which they had been waiting almost four years to plan), they knew exactly what they wanted their day to look like. “We pictured a quintessential West Coast wedding, inviting our families to celebrate with us, and our midwife to perform the ceremony.” 

Amie had built up perfection in her head, and was determined to look her very best – so she became extremely focused on her physical appearance. She began dieting right after giving birth to her third child and tried every weight loss fad she could think of, including waist training, wraps, cleanses, and shakes. 

Amie even spent time practicing various poses in the mirror that would minimize her stomach, make her arms look slimmer, and her chin flatter.

“I had three babies worth of weight packed onto [my] face, and [my] arms, and [my] tummy, and it was consuming me.”

“I was especially obsessed with my face. I would look at every angle, trying to memorize how exactly to stick my tongue to the roof of my mouth so that my double chin would single out for our photos.”

However, as fate would have it, Amie’s obsession with her face and body almost ended up ruining her big day. 

Five days before the wedding, Amie fell ill with what she thought was a sinus infection.
