Why You Should Be a Bridezilla
Say "no" to parties, dinners... everything

As strange as it might sound, learning to be negative may be the most positive thing you can do to stave off stress. Just say no to parties you’d rather not attend, to people you don’t want to be with, to the constantly ringing cell phone, or to activities that zap your energy.

By doing this, you’re saying yes to yourself and making time for things you want to do.

Like making time for the gym.

Along those same lines, announce your fitness plans to your fiancé, family, and friends. It may help you lose weight, tone trouble spots and feel great as you achieve your goals.

Not only that, but by broadcasting your goals and resolutions, you’re accountable to someone other than yourself, making you more likely to stick to your plan and less likely to skip a workout.

Another tactic to guarantee you get to the gym--use the buddy system.

Do you have a friend or bridesmaid who’s also made a commitment to getting in shape and feeling great? Recruit them to go to the gym with you, or, if that’s not possible, do a daily check-in with him or her to tell each other how it’s going.

To step up the commitment factor just a notch, consider working with a personal trainer. Or, you can get the same results you’d get by working with a fitness coach by checking out WeddingShape.

You'll learn body-sculpting workouts that are designed to get you in the best shape of your life for the biggest day of your life.
