I’m writing this both as a reminder to me and as a suggestion for those of you with your own blogs. The interesting thing about writing a blog about weight loss is that there is always something to write about. Whether it’s the food that I should or should not be eating, the exercise I am or am not getting or just the thought process I am going through on any particular topic around this journey, there is always something going on.
I would like to not have to think about what I am eating and how I am exercising but I already know what happens when I take that approach. And the final result was not good. I am starting to understand now when people say you shouldn’t think about this as a diet - you should think about it as a lifestyle change. It really is, it’s all about making good decisions at all times, understanding the consequences of your actions and doing something about it.
As I am visiting other weight loss blogs I most enjoy the ones where the author shares what is going on in their head, both when things work well (celebrate those victories!) and when they don’t. Because what I am finding is that all of us are struggling with many of these same issues and therefor we can learn from each other. So while I do read some blogs where the author essentially writes out a list of what they ate, what exercise they did and maybe offers some tips and tricks, the ones of real value to me are the ones where people expose their inner self and really open up about what they are feeling.
I’m looking for dumb little stuff like what I wrote about in Conquering a Small Section of the Mental Mountain. This is the kind of thing we deal with every day. Recognize it and write about it. I guarantee it will help you and I think it will help your readers as well. As I come across examples of what I mean I’ll try to make an effort to link to them here.
So much of this is in the mind, lets take a peek inside of there and see what we can learn.
