Would a 3-day juice fast affect my measurements (getting a dress altered)?

[Mrs. Papaya]

I already have marked down on the calendar the next time I can schedule a juice fast. This one will be just a 3-day juice fast and there are only these days that I can do it.

But it turns out that on the last and third day of the juice fast, I have an appointment with a seamstress to alter a dress for a wedding. The seamstress is a friend of mine and is coming in from out of town, and so this is the only ideal time for us to meet.

Since I will be on the final day of my fast, will that affect my measurements and make me smaller? I know that long term, this kind of short fast would not affect my body shape, but what if I seem smaller during the actual fast, she alters my dress, and then when I'm back to eating I can't fit in it?

I feel silly asking this now, but I know at the end of my last brief juice fast I looked noticeably smaller. My stomach was definitely not as pudgy and seemed very flat, which unfortunately isn't normal for me. But then within just a few days of eating everything went back to normal. I just don't want to mess up my alterations!

Since I definitely want to fast, should I skip the appointment with my seamstress friend and reschedule it with someone else?

Yes, it will affect your measurements, as you have already observed. The other solutions would be to do a juice fast right before the wedding! Then you would look mahvelous.:D but you probably already do.

yup it'll definitely affect your measurements. your body won't be full of food/feces like it usually is. digesting, moving it around...

That reminds me the beginning of my raw foods journey. WE bought bridesmaids dresses online, and I forgot, that they come in smaller sizes than usual, so it was very tight on me- to the point where it was uncomfortable. So I started eating raw 3 weeks before the wedding in order to get into the dress. I didn't realize, that I would looose so much weight and didn't bother to try on the dress untill the wedding. The dress was literally hanging on me- my friend was quite mad about it too, because I ruined the pictures. Well, now it is funny...

hahahahahahaha your friend was mad at you?

if i was your friend i'd be announcing at the wedding. "hey everyone... my amazing bridesmaid here may look a little small in her dress but that's because she's released so much weight by eating healthy that the dress is too big for her now. round of applause please everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
