It’s been 10 years since I started this blog! Back then I called it “55 Alive and Losing It” I was still deep in my eating disorder and thinking my life would be perfect if I could just lose some weight. A lot has changed since then. Back then there were many many people blogging about weight loss, eating disorders, mental health, and life in general. It was easy to find interesting blogs to follow and like minded people to read.
But something has changed. Most of those bloggers I followed and who followed me originally are “gone.” Stopped blogging, faded away, defunct, whatever. I myself went through a phase when I wasn’t inspired to blog. I stopped writing, posting, reading and following. Now that I’m back, I’m having trouble finding interesting blogs. I still have a few favorites from the olden days, but I’d like to have MORE!
In search of new blogs to follow, I even did the “next blog” thingy button at the top of my blog page, which produces random suggestions. Doing that, I found blogs in foreign languages, blogs written by people in religious cults, real estate blogs, blogs obviously written to keep family apprised of what the kids are doing. My favorite so far has been “The U-Dual Modular Group” which had something to do with quantum physics (I think). Not really, it scared me.
It seems like everyone is on Instagram nowadays, but how can you really tell people about your life by posting a picture with a few words and hashtags? To me, it’s too trendy, too abbreviated, too simplistic. A picture isn’t always worth a thousand words.
So, if anyone out there has an interesting blog and you would like another follower, please leave me a comment after this post. I’m partial to weight loss blogs, blogs of people who are struggling with day to day life, and happy blogs where people are talking about the fun stuff they do (except please no blogs about car racing or raising children...lol). I’d love to have some more bloggy friends!
