I wonder if I will always have content to write about since I don't blog my food exercise.<br /><br />I hope that the ones who droped off the blog world are still on the right path but I do agree that is unlikely.Amy @ Findingfitmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346102263065901359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-10668352737693301892010-07-24T21:39:25.287-05:002010-07-24T21:39:25.287-05:00I've taken a couple breaks from blogging in th...I've taken a couple breaks from blogging in the past and you're right...a break from blogging means mindless eating!<br /><br />I've been back for awhile now and realize blogging is an essential part of my journey.

Here's how, "I'm pretty positive things are going to be the way they are!" So they are! I stopped blogging for over a year and a half! I was shocked. Anyway, I wasn't blogging about weight before, but I am now because I just need to be healthy. <br /><br />I'm singing Stevie Wonder's part now!

Sometimes things happen in life that takes away thier focus and i know from experience, the more time you miss, the harder it is to pick up where you left off..<br /><br />and sometimes yes, they get discouraged and feel alone and like noone cares or is reading.. whatever the reason, <br /><br />I encourage you to keep reaching out to that person if you can instead of just watching and guessing and assuming. I don't have many followers but that's ok, I love them all because even when i give up on me and what im going through. They don't! I can honestly say when ive hit my lowest and am isolating, I see the love they show me and they are the reason I am still here.. and still going.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12120623022423110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-34762478700593954452010-07-24T15:28:24.419-05:002010-07-24T15:28:24.419-05:00yep. been there done that.

I don't always have time to blog, but I'm also definitely doing it as if my weight depends on it. <br /><br />I don't have a lot of readers nor a lot of comments (even less than readers) and it's also frustrating to not have the interaction, but once you get over that and know that keeping ACTIVE (blogging, reaching out, working out, weighing in, etc) is the ONLY WAY to continually stay on the path you want to be on.
