Taking a break....

4/3/2012

I've been thinking about this quite a bit tonight.  I'm going to take a break until Monday from the blog.  My head just keeps going a million miles an hour, and I can't seem to quit wearing my heart on my sleeve.  I'm not in a really bad place or anything.  I just don't need one more thing to worry about, and believe it or not, it weighs on me when I let you down.  This blog is supposed to be about weight loss, not gain.  I feel like such a failure in so many ways, that I think I need a break from making some of my failures public.  I've always been such a private person.  This blog has really changed that in me.  I think maybe too much...  I think I'm making the right decision for me, in this moment.  I think this is my healthiest choice.  It's for me, not anyone else.  Doing things just for me is hard, but it's something I'm working on.  I appreciate you guys sticking with me through absolutely everything.  I've never heard a negative word from you. It's unbelievable the amount of support you've given me.  Hopefully I'll be back Mon. and be able to give you some good stories about weight loss and head health.

I know exactly how you feel, my dear. I think I felt similar pressure when I was debating whether to quit practicing karate for a while. It was a big part of my life, but it had become more of a burden than anything else. I felt like I had been neglecting other, more important areas of my life in order to make room for karate... and karate isn't something I can do "half-assed".

We women are just so damn busy! Vacations are necessary. You are taking a vacation from you blog and that's perfectly alright. Your health (physical and mental) is of UTMOST importance. This blog is supposed to help keep you focused on your health, not stress you out and make you crazy. The blog creates a lot of pressure (even though a lot of it is self-imposed). Trust me on this: your readers care more about you and your health, than whether you update the blog every day. But you need a break and that's perfectly okay. Don't sweat it! Your readers will be fine. XOXOXO

I love you

I certainly understand Jen. No worries. Please know that you never let me down. Would never want you to feel judged, only supported. Besides that emotional piece, there are not enough hours in the day. Trying to maintain connections with Brian and the kids, chores at home and work, a long commute, sanity---it's really tough. This blog is about health, and you've go to
put yourself first (which you don't often do). I completely understand. Hugs!
