I love watching the Academy Awards. Even though I'm totally in the wrong timezone, I always stay up to watch it, and marvel at the beautiful dresses and the tanned gorgeous bodies of the celebrities. I know a lot of work goes into the big day for them, and probably thousands of dollars too. It would be like planning for a wedding!
However, you don't need to be a celebrity to treat yourself like a star for your own big day. You can take inspiration from the weight loss secrets of the rich and famous, but without needing their huge bank balance!
1. They know they deserve the best
Celebrities are completely willing to buy the best food, treatments, beauty products, etc and it shows. They always look completely confident and utterly know that they deserve to treated like VIPs.
For you: The great news is that you don't need to be a multi-millionaire to afford good, fresh organic food. The very best food on the planet is actually very simple - not expensive truffles or caviar.
You can also treat yourself like a million bucks by having regular facials, massages or spa days. If finances are tight you can go to a beauty trainee school, ask for a trial pass at a posh gym, or even do it yourself at home with some girlfriends. Self-care can make a huge difference to how you feel about yourself, it gives you a straighter spine and a self assuredness that you deserve to take care of yourself.
When you feel good, you are more likely to take care of yourself, eat better, get enough sleep and feel like a happy bride!
2. They hire coaches and experts
Almost every celebrity at the Oscars would have had hours of professional help. Trainers, nutritionists, personal chefs, botox doctors, make-up artists, stylists, plastic surgeons, cosmetic dentists, spray tanners.... I could go on!
If you want to achieve something fast - you go straight to the expert, you don't mess around because time goes by too fast.
For you: Your wedding day is fast approaching, what experts can you get to help you? You may get a wedding planner, a dance instructor for your bridal waltz or a cleaner to take the stress off you at home.
Why should your wedding weight loss be any different? Do you want to hire a personal trainer, book in to see a nutritional expert, or join a Raw Brides Coaching Programme?
A-Listers know that you need help to get results, so don't delay putting together your own personal "Transformation Team", so take action today if you're serious about losing weight for your wedding.
3. They prepare with determination
Celebrities know all eyes will be on them on the red carpet and they prepare every inch of their bodies for close up scrunity because the photos will last forever. Sound familiar? Most brides say that a big motivation comes from knowing that the wedding photos last forever. Walking down the aisle with everyone staring is pretty daunting too!
For you: There's a big difference between being obsessed and being utterly committed to your wedding weight loss goal. To truly get excited about your transformation goal, you can do a dream board with pictures that inspire you, perhaps the picture of the wedding dress or honeymoon bikini you want to wear. You can do this on paper, or on PowerPoint and print it out. Stick it on the fridge or as a screen saver on your computer as a reminder of your goal.
Treat yourself like the star you are - and visualise yourself walking down the aisle like it was a red carpet! It's truly the day when you are a star and you deserve to shine brightly!
