I am much in the same place you are, thinking "why am I blogging" or "God I'm sick of saying the same things over and over" but I've decided to keep on keeping on. I think you should too. I don't care how many times you lose/gain/lose/gain, your readers will be there cheering you on, lifting you up and cussing you out when you need it (just kidding about the cussing you out part). But really, please, keep the blog.

It's about your journey and how you deal with it. If writing helps, keep doing it. If it doesn't, don't do it.Shy Girlhttp://www.tatulah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100402253905622520.post-63423979848304289052009-06-23T16:45:13.445-05:002009-06-23T16:45:13.445-05:00If you need to take a break or write sporadically,...If you need to take a break or write sporadically, that's fine. But don't feel embarrassed. My gosh, anyone one of us who has this problem has been there and understands. Shoot, I flew last year to CA and could not get the seat belt around me and SWORE that was it! I lost and now have gained again and now I'm flying back to CA and had to buy a seat belt extender. Talk about embarrassing.

It truly is NOT as easy as calorie in, calorie out, rinse and repeat.<br /><br />Find out what fires you... find out what makes you tick. I've blogged since 1996/1997 before blogging was blogging... I've loved having my writing to see where I succeeded AND where I failed. Why did I fail? What constitutes it and what can I learn from it?<br /><br />I'm starting my FINAL weight loss journey right now. I've gained/lost the same pounds for so long... but I had to get the fire in 'ma belly and devise the right tools for me to get the fire going...<br /><br />For me, I'm a bit of a geek. I've started an excel sheet of craziness which has a shitload of stuff... and, I love putting IN stuff (like, my timed run results, etc.) and seeing the progress. <br /><br />The blog is only one part/tool of my weight loss... writing in one alone won't make you lose weight, so you need to figure out something else to compliment it!<br /><br />Check out my two blogs if you like... <br /><br />www.danglingconversation.com is now for my regular every-day stuff (which I'm editing some of my old entries as I've gone through a separation so it's kinda new)<br /><br />and...<br /><br />www.my-basic-training.com which has all of my weight loss stuff. I will be adding my excel sheet and results soon, when I have more gathered and I'm comfortable sharing the info with everyone. <br /><br />Chin up! Stick with it... find your fire :) Mine? I decided to join the army and there's one program/course starting in September. I don't want to make a total ass of myself so I need to lose weight/learn to run in order to succeed. <br /><br />Failure is no longer an option.anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338423904024230539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100402253905622520.post-84469615827121704042009-06-22T23:38:15.678-05:002009-06-22T23:38:15.678-05:00I would be sad to see you stop blogging, I really ...I would be sad to see you stop blogging, I really enjoy your posts.

I've just gotten back from a couple of weeks off my blog because it all got a bit much and I burned out. <br /><br />Here's the thing. If not blogging is going to help you mentally, then take a break to get your head in a better place, but let it be a break and not an end.<br /><br />If you're going away, be honest about your reasons. If it's going to help then great, if it's going to be an excise for you to bury your head in a bucket of KFC (insert binge of choice) then it's not going to help.<br /><br />You could start a fresh blog if you don't ant to take a full on break. Independence Day is coming up, that could be your moment to grab onto a fresh new page and start again. I know a change does me good sometimes.<br /><br />Do what will make you feel better.The Fat Foreignerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604719837186012000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100402253905622520.post-62418197540615241472009-06-21T23:20:28.015-05:002009-06-21T23:20:28.015-05:00I've changed my blogging technique roughly a b...I've changed my blogging technique roughly a bajillion times since I started blogging about weight loss. I recommend keeping the blog.. maybe changing how you blog. Maybe only commit to blogging once a week, twice a week, whatever. Hell, once a month is OK, as long as you decide to come back to it. <br /><br />I know for me, I had to seek out different avenues to jumpstart my weight loss..and that meant taking a step back from blogging. However, for a sense of seeing 'where I've been, where i'm going', I keep blogging. There's no motivation quite like seeing your own words saying the same sad story over & over, in different ways. My previous words in my blog are as motivating as the words I might write tomorrow. Mentally, that's how I look at it. :) <br /><br />Best of luck!Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292432520502321068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100402253905622520.post-62775544559786363622009-06-21T21:44:20.547-05:002009-06-21T21:44:20.547-05:00I know exactly how you feel.
