Here’s an update from Diane, who’s email to me sparked the Curvy Convo: “Friends With Benefits?”:
Hey CeCe,
I wanted to update you on my friends with benefits situation that I wrote to you about. I thought a lot about what you said and realized that I was closing myself off to other options because I already had this “placeholder” guy feeding both my physical and emotional needs.
However, the idea of stopping was unappealing and the more I thought about it the more I realized how we WERE in a relationship, just not a committed or public one. I wasn’t opening myself up to the possibility of other options because I didn’t want them. I wanted him. And you were right, when I talked to him about becoming a legitimate couple, he was more than happy to jump on board.
After nearly ten years of friendship, 3 months of friends with benefits, we are now embarking on day six of a relationship. I’m excited to see how things go!
Regardless of what anyone thinks of Friends with Benefits, I’m glad we started out that way. When we first started things, I wasn’t in a good place for a relationship with anyone…But I’m glad this particular case grew into something.
Thank you for your advice…It was really the catalyst I needed!

Hello Diane,
Thank you for staying in touch with me… you just made my week! I’m proud of you for seeing what you wanted and going after it (I need to take notes from you on that!)
As PSP’s I think we know and understand each others struggles better than anyone else. I’m always grateful when people like you take time to give me advice via comments, tweets etc. and its always humbling to see an email from a Plus Size Princess asking me for my thoughts on things.
I look forward to more Curvy Conversations!
xoxo,
CeCe

as long as you are happy babes, we are happy for you
Whether it works out or not I'm happy this chica went for it…good on ya 🙂 (keep us posted lol!)
I am so thrilled that you two friends have evolved your relationship into one that most girls dream about. Friends to lovers… how great is that?! But I've got to warn other PSPs and even skinny women about the trap of the "Friends with benefits" relationship. I think for most women it can be a devastator, emotional roller-coaster, and surely a road to nowhere. I'm happy for you but I definitely think your situation is the exception and not the rule.

Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers
It was amazing to read this article and I think you are totally correct. Tell me if perhaps you’re thinking of NYC parking ticket, that’s my primary competency. I really hope to check back with you soon, cheers!
Thanks a bunch for your fantastic posting! I genuinely enjoyed it.I’ll remember to save this blog and will return from now on. I would love to suggest you to ultimately keep on with your fine writing, perhaps talk about traffic violation also, have a nice morning!
There are actually remarkable changes on the layout of the site, I truly like this. Mine is on the subject of credit card details that work and presently there are lots of stuff to be done, I am currently a beginner in webpage design. Take good care!
