In order to rapidly lose weight ahead of their weddings (theoretically to men that love them just the way they are), some brides are taking to replacing the “eating” process with the insertion of a feeding tube into their nose which provides “a constant slow drip of protein and fat, mixed with water, which contains zero carbohydrates and totals 800 calories a day.” This is actually something people are doing and not an elaborate joke from The Onion.

I wouldn’t take credit for this, if by “we” you mean men. Women come up with enough stupid shit on their own.
Seriously, don’t blame yourselves. Blame their mothers for teaching them that looks trump intelligence.
they’re not doing it for their husbands to be, they’re doing it for the wedding photos…
Had oral cancer surgery in 2010-can’t comprehend why anyone would do this volunteerily
Most women are not like this Danny boy…..these are sick puppies who care more about looks than the man in their lives…….
Women who resort to tube-feeding to lose weight so they will look good in their wedding dresses most likely suffer from eating disorders, along with body-dysmorphia, lack of self-esteem, and/or a lack of self-confidence. It is almost as if they have transitioned from ‘being’ brides, into ‘playing’ brides, and this is the method they are employing to prepare for performing their roles.
There is nothing wrong with brides-to-be wanting to slim down for their ‘big day’. However, if a woman resorts to an extremly restrictive weight-loss technique, (despite it’s potential to adversely effect her health) simply to look a certain way for just one day, she needs someone to help her reassess her priorities before she harms herself. After all, every bride is beautiful on her wedding day, no matter what she weighs.
