Part of me hasn’t written in a few days because there are things I want to talk about, but I’m not sure I want to write them here. Things I want to say, but I don’t know if I want to say them to the public at large. There are things going on, but they have less to do with weight loss and general nonsense and more to do with… me, my life, my family.

Which brings me to two questions. Why blog and what to share?

I know they’re important questions. I started the blog as a way to talk about my weight loss journey. It was and still is a central part of my life. It’s a huge part of me, whether I like it or not, and is immensely helpful to have a place to put the emotions of weight loss. This way I don’t burn anyone out by whining about it.

I also like the community. I may not have made tons of friends through my blog, but I’ve made some, joined a community, and enjoy that piece. I enjoy finding other people’s blogs, reading blogs, and being a part of the community.

What about the rest? The rest of my blog is… a little of this and that. What I did, what else is going on.

What’s taboo. I don’t talk about my marriage, except to say how wonderful it is. Clearly, it is always wonderful all the time, obviously. But even on the slim chance it wasn’t wonderful all the time, I wouldn’t write about it here. I rarely talk about it- that’s between my husband and I.

What about things like trying for babies? Or things that go on in my family? Things that are upsetting/ bothering/ annoying me? I don’t typically write about that stuff, but I’m not sure why. I have a post in drafts, and I can’t decide if I want to share it. I just don’t know.
So, my *ahem* loyal readers, here’s my question(s) to you.

~If you blog, why?

~How do you decide what to blog about and what is sacred?

~What do you like reading about in other people’s blogs?

~What makes you cringe in a kind of “oohh… that’s too much information” kind of way?

Share!!
