Did you "thin-herit" food issues from your mother?
According to a poll conducted by teen magazine Sugar, girls ages 12 - 18 said that their mother's eating and/or dieting habits and views on food were the biggest influence on their own relationship to food.

Dear Poll: Have You, or Someone You Know, Ever Been Affected by an Eating Disorder?
This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, and since as many as 10 million females and one million males in the US are suffering from an eating disorder, I'm thankful that we have resources such as the National Eating Disorders Association. Their main goal is to raise awareness, educate, support, and eventually help eradicate eating disorders altogether.

The wedding is coming up in two months and I'm worried I won't be able to lose enough weight to fit into the dress.
