    I had to step away from most social media (especially twitter) because I was just way too into it and not having a real life. =(

    I still love it, I just need to find the balance...whatever the heck that is!

    I find myself spending less and less time on social media. It can be fun and a source of support but the more weight I lose...the more active my "real" life seems to be in comparison.

    That said...there is ALWAYS time to read Jack Sh*t. ;)

    I might be addicted to social media. There is actually a funny story that I'm going to write eventually about how social media has played a part during my recent loss...it's been a mixed bag really.

    I get sad when I lose a follower :(

    Thankfully I have stayed away from twitter so far, keeping up w my blog is time consuming enough!
