The other day I posted an "ad" in the getting in shape forum on TheKnot for an accountability partner to help me lose wieght for my big day. My responder has been so much more than just an accountability partner. It turns out her and I have the exact same body build, we're both german...we have a lot in common. She has been there for me so much already! We became friends on facebook to help with the accountability thing and she was one of the first to comment on my Facebook status that said I was "having a breakdown." Not only did she ask if everything was ok, she reminded me that taking a walk would be better for me than emotional eating.I think we have a friendship. We've been able to talk to each other about our weddings-our stresses, thoughts, excitements and can I tell you how amazing it is to be able to talk to a FEMALE who understands and is going through the same thing-that alone takes away a lot of negative feelings.
SO-fellow brides: POST AN AD with a little bit of information about yourself. Make a friend who has some things in common with you, exchange numbers, e-mails, facebook...whatever...but TALK. It's really awesome.
THANKS PARTNER!
