I deleted two of my other blogs. It felt freeing to let go.
The first one I deleted was my Fat Mom Thin blog. Every time I looked at it I found myself getting angry. I felt like I was calling myself fat. Like hey world, I am fat and I am just trying to get thin. It was depressing! I couldn't take it anymore so I deleted it.
The fact is, I was fat. But I am not fat anymore and just that word in the blog title was like nails on a chalkboard to me. I am still battling my weight. I haven't reached my goal, but I went from 205 pounds down to 165 pounds - that is a 40 pound loss! I am not fat anymore.
The second blog I deleted was my Blogging Obsession blog. I have tried many times to revive that site, but I just can't find my groove for it. Rather than feel obligated to do something with it, which only produces stress in me, I deleted it.
I'm happy about these choices. I like this blog as my little space and I like my Momma's Time blog for all those reviews and giveaways and mommy things and I like my Educating My Children blog for all my homeschooling stuff.
Yep, this is making me a happy blogger.
I get it. Sometimes we just need a change. I still haven't come up with a good name for my regular blog. I call it (Formerly a Celebration of our journey). That depresses me because it used to be easier to be more optimistic. I don't want to be a bummer.... But at least now I can write about whatever. if I get the chance. :) I'm glad your changes feel good. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't ever see you as a bummer. I always get the vibe that people are inspired by your reality. We relate to what you go through and it helps us all knowing we're not alone. ((hugs))
I have never been more proud of you than when I read you say "I am not fat" :) You are rocking your weight loss and I'm so proud of you! :)
