I did that with my blog a while ago, although I eventually turned them back on. But I don't blog much anymore, as I've found that it became a chore when it felt like I had to update every day.<BR/><BR/>Hope a break is what you need. I do think that the people who voice their opinions do have concern for you. Sometimes it's hard to come up with the right words without coming across as harsh. <BR/><BR/>Take care. I'll miss getting new pics of the Bois!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506473191113043504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-62264357518779488822009-03-08T18:29:00.000+01:002009-03-08T18:29:00.000+01:00I decided to stop blogging and the decision lasted...I decided to stop blogging and the decision lasted only a week; I'm hoping your decision's the same - the hint of a new blog with SR is enticing. <BR/><BR/>Hope the break's exactly as long as you need it to be.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-29680867934132869642009-03-08T18:06:00.000+01:002009-03-08T18:06:00.000+01:00Thanks for all of your thoughtful comments.

You took a lot of thoughtless comments (including many couched in a false language of "concern"), and responded to them all with grace and logic. In additional to taking courage, this also probably took a lot out of you. I would have folded a long time ago!<BR/><BR/>I was one of the women runners who were helped by your blog, am subsequently having a healthy and low-weight gain pregnancy, and I wish you the best.

I hope that taking yourself out of the public helps you, if that's what's happening.<BR/><BR/>I worry for you. I spent most of my 20s as an expatriate, including in cultures where the native language was a second one to me, and it's really hard. Even if you've got every reason to be happy and are surrounded by people you love, it's still lonely and isolating, especially in the beginning. To me the return of your weight obsession seems so clearly linked to needing control over your life during a difficult time. I do worry if you end the blog, that you'll lose an outlet, and will only end up deeper in your own destructive tendencies. You're a talented athlete, and a committed mom who has been brave enough to be honest about posting about your challenges. That takes guts. I hope you also have enough guts to reach out and turn your eating disorder around. Paula Radcliffe does not subsist on oatmeal and gum. Good luck to you.green lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710702006690038659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-61792261047712011302009-03-08T15:12:00.000+01:002009-03-08T15:12:00.000+01:00You're dead to me now SLG! j/k but I'm bummed you...You're dead to me now SLG! <BR/><BR/>j/k but I'm bummed you won't be blogging.
