Brideorexia: Weight-loss obsession and wedding industry collide

We all know that weddings can be stressful but to make it worse brides want to look 100% perfect in their wedding photos that they go overboard trying to get the perfect body for their special day.

So how does the pressure to look perfect on the big day affect women.

Well a study has found out that most engaged women choose healthy ways to achieve their goals but the researchers also found out that more than 20 percent of the women they studied used methods they characterized as extreme, including skipping meals, going on liquid diets, fasting, or taking laxatives or unprescribed diet pills and supplements.

A small percentage even started smoking as a weight-loss strategy, while others began vomiting after meals.

The National Eating Disorders Association estimates that as many as 10 million women and girls in the United States suffer from a serious eating disorder.

Have you suffered from an eating disorder and if so did your wedding trigger it off?
