There are times wh...Dear Patty, <BR/><BR/>I can feel for you. There are times when I want to vent, and sometimes I do. I think venting can help you clarify your feelings and put things in perspective. <BR/><BR/>However, once the words are posted, it is hard to change them. There are times when I feel something because that is what I am focused on. However if I wrote the whole picture, then it would take a lot more space. <BR/><BR/>If you write all the good things and bad things about someone or some topic, then it ends up as being a big blob of gray. So when you focus on a negative moment it leaves out a lot from the rest of the picture, and someone who is reading it just sees that negative point. <BR/><BR/>I hope you do not take the blog private, as getting into one of those private blogs is a major pain in the neck. It seems to just re-pop over and over again. I can never get into them. On the other hand, do whatever you feel is correct.Moby Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921345586805781063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31145842.post-64973437506729638142007-10-11T00:57:00.000-07:002007-10-11T00:57:00.000-07:00I think San's comment is absolutely spot on, like ...I think San's comment is absolutely spot on, like all of the others have said.<BR/><BR/>I personally would be devastated if you went private, since I am hopeless at followin bloggers once they go private due to the inability to subscribe to feeds in Google Reader (similar sort of thing for readers who use Bloglines and so on), though I would love to be able to *try* and follow you if you do make the decision to go private. Perhaps you could split between two blogs and have your personal stuff in a private blog and your weight loss stuff here?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229478994519987395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31145842.post-13172889359568478992007-10-10T02:26:00.000-07:002007-10-10T02:26:00.000-07:00I agree with San.

The only reason I went private with mine is cos my ex was reading it and then abusing me for making him sound like a (insert bad word) even though everything I said was the truth. Honestly I love all the people i've invited to read my private blog, because I know that each and every one of you genuinely care about me and my well being and you wouldn't care what size I was. <BR/>True friends will love you for you, not your size, your wealth, your fitness, just for you, just the way you are. Anybody else isn't really your friend.<BR/>I share everything on my blog, as you know, that's just who I am, and how I deal with stuff and it really helps me. I realise that most of the time i'm just whinging but you girls cheer me up and make me feel better about myself.<BR/>I would love to follow you if you do go private, if that's ok. It's a tough decision to make I guess.Apple2Hourglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09056296394251284364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31145842.post-62001594723009889082007-10-10T00:19:00.000-07:002007-10-10T00:19:00.000-07:00Re the private blog thing.

You can empty your thoughts there, and its ONLY for your eyes.<BR/><BR/>It does feel good to hear that people care and that people want to know how you are doing though -so its a really tough one for me. Somedays I want to write everything (too much) but I hold back because its too private. But I do have a journal on my computer. Its mine and just mine. <BR/><BR/>My blog is also mine - but it does feel good to share certain things with people I have never met - nice to hear that I am not alone with some things.<BR/><BR/>You take care.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222007416830328320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31145842.post-88642118745489250472007-10-09T22:36:00.000-07:002007-10-09T22:36:00.000-07:00Oh Patty!

If you feel it is helping you to get this stuff out, then continue!! It's not healthy to keep it inside, and yes you could write in a private journal, but doesn't the feedback help too? I think you need to do what's best for you, and don't be afraid to write whatever you want. I think your friend needs to know how you feel, so don't be sorry for anything you have said. :)Living to Feel Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09336956383875359565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31145842.post-75857439533232862892007-10-09T22:11:00.000-07:002007-10-09T22:11:00.000-07:00You should feel free to use your blog as you see f...You should feel free to use your blog as you see fit. Having said that though I do censor some things in my blog becaue I know my 16 year old daughter and my neices read my blog (thanks to my daughter telling them). I have a lot of "Shit" in my life that I could get out but dont and have also contemplated going private but have held back because meeting new people would be limited.celtic_girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16227413879273422278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31145842.post-29627115413547242842007-10-09T19:25:00.000-07:002007-10-09T19:25:00.000-07:00san is right, don't ever apologize for what you pu...san is right, don't ever apologize for what you put out there. It is your blog, no one elses. <BR/><BR/>As for going private, I know how you feel. There are some things I just don't share on my blog. For those things I have a secret blog that is private. It's for no one but me and that's where I write things I don't want anyone else to read. So that might be an option for you.Flohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178703086017106765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31145842.post-5538071496372209412007-10-09T19:24:00.000-07:002007-10-09T19:24:00.000-07:00Hey Patty,Sorry to hear about all of the drama goi...Hey Patty,<BR/>Sorry to hear about all of the drama going on.
