I’m afraid of spiders and anything that swims in the ocean, I can’t pay attention for more than like 5 minutes, and …
what were the questions again?

Oh yeah. I wish my memory was better.

Took your advice and did the thing that has been scaring me since I started my blog. Pictures are up now and I actually feel pretty awesome about it. It’s all about facing your fears and now I know I’m going somewhere and that this time it’s going to stick.

I’m so glad that you wrote this; I too often am afraid of sharing when I think I have failed, or haven’t been perfect, or am feeling like ranting and swearing and being completely negative. But the thing is, as the person (one of many) on the other side of your posts, it’s easy to congratulate you on a job well done, or re-enforce your great habits, but it’s far more satisfying to be able to support you when you actually need it. So, I wish you the best and hope you’re feeling good, but on the days you aren’t, we’re still here.

I’m afraid of lots of stuff. I’m afraid of feeling rotten, I’m afraid of being depressed, and I’m afraid of feeling fat. It sounds shallow, but hey, I’m human, and hey, I’m a girl.

One of my biggest flaws is that I fall into the trap of social comparison. I compare my lifestyle, dietary choices, and exercise pattern to EVERYONE I know (and don’t know!). I find it difficult to live with my brother. I find it difficult to read some blogs. It’s annoying because everything triggers me. I’m sick and tired of always feeling unhealthy compared to everyone else. It’s really really annoying.

On a brighter note, I love your determination and humour. Keep sharing with us your wise blogging gems.

I do think that blogging your journey does leave you vunerable, but the benefits are enormous. Especially if you are someone who really finds writing theraputic and the support from the community inspiring. I love the blogging community.

I loved this post. It is so very true. I started mine just 15 days ago. I wanted to make this weight loss attempt successful. I tried to look at everything that made me fail before and try to come up with a new attitude towards changing my life. I know what doesn’t work. That is why my ‘goal’ is just an ounce a day Slow and steady is my motto now.

Blogging is helping more than I ever thought possible, granted I am a newbie, but I feel like my blog is a huge motivation.

Girl, seriously – you are such a joy to read. Keep it up. WE look to you for everything from the ups and downs, life happens.

I am afraid I won’t ever find the patience I should with people. But adding in balance and yoga, they help me exhale.
