Hey girl, I’m totally dealing with the whole weight thing too. I also have the guilt over not networking like I should, and lately, I’m losing subscribers like crazy because of you know what. Some people do it better. ;-)

Sitting in front of the computer during my spare time has done nothing for my weight. I’ve started exercising–we’re doing this Walk Across Texas thing at work. (I need to “walk” over to where you live! That’d burn a few.) I’m also looking at some other lifestyle changes, because I can’t give up blogging! Still, it gets overwhelming. I hope you’re in a better spot now.

I just wanted you to know that I too struggled with a weight issue my whole life. I am not employed by nor have any dealings with Weight Watchers, but that is the program I used and I swear by it. I lost 30 lbs in 6 months (which was a huge loss for me as I am only 4′9″ and at the time weighed about 126 lbs, which makes such a short person, extremely roly poly!). I learned to eat as a lifestyle, indulge in treats (that’s the best part), and have kept the weight off for 5 1/2 years! Just an option to think about, and the greatest part is in can all be done online, no going out to meetings if you don’t want to. And nothing is a no-no unlike other weight loss plans! Good Luck, I’ve been there, and while the road is tough, the reward is worth it!

No worries, Lori. After 5 years of blogging I don’t read much into things anymore. Who’s got that kind of energy?

If I can make a suggesting, friend-to-friend? Screw ‘em. People who write nasty things about you do so because they are too lazy to take the time to think of original good content.

You’ll have the last laugh and, if BloggingCents.com is any indication, you’ll be laughing on your way to the bank.

You. Go. Girl.

I apologize Kate, I didn’t even think about it that way though! Hopefully people are smarter than that and know to actually read the article;)

stopping by to check on you! hope today’s a better day for you.

And don’t let anything get you down. I see the photos of your boys and I know they make your day bright every single day. Focus on that.

The haters can go kick rocks!

Girl, cheer up. No one expects you to be perfect. Your boys love you unconditionally, the Lord loves you unconditionally, and most of all you should love yourself unconditionally. Now that you have taken a step back and analyzed your life, take a step forward and do something for yourself. I know you recently splurged on fabric and a purse, and you might have felt buyers remorse over it, but think of how good it made you feel. Now, think of something else that would make you feel just as good. It's taking the first step that is hard. You can do this. Put your mind to it and you can move mountains.

Girl I feel your pain in many of these areas. The thing that has helped me the most is just to decide what makes you happy? Once I decided that I just had to do that, then everything else fell into place. Maybe just updating every other day would give you some peace of mind.

On the weight issue, you know how I identify with you there. This is something that I have struggled with for YEARS. I remember those days of not wanting to leave the house. Not having any clothes that fit. Not wanting anyone to see me like this…. Guess what, I realized that I like to be happy and have fun. If my weight bothers you then too dang bad. Yeah it still bothers me and I want to loose some weight but I’m going to let it hold me back from things in my life I love. So what if I look funny if I’m chasing my children and I look funny. Who cares if people laugh at the way I dance. Did I have fun? Hell yeah!

Girl you know I love you tons and I just want you to be happy. Just figure it out and you can do whatever it is!

Oh yes, sometimes you just have to let it all out! I don’t know the particular background story, but I sure know the feeling and can sympathize – there’s a lot of work to keeping up just one blog, let alone a handful of them, and I think we’ve all felt the pressure from time to time (even without a bunch of negativity coming in to drag you down!) – and wow, just to think you’re trying to juggle all these things with a toddler at your knee, too! It isn’t necessary to be Superwoman – that’s a good step *down* from Cowboy’s Wife, if you ask me! :) And one big thing you’ve got going for you is a genuine ability to write.
