Have you considered starting a weight loss blog? Embarking on a weight loss goal can be a stressful endeavor. You’ve to watch your diet, exercise regularly, get enough sleep and so on. Just keeping all these plates spinning at the same time can be tedious.

So, it can seem ridiculous to entertain the notion of keeping a blog detailing your weight loss journey (even if it’s for posterity).

We have 5 reasons why blogging during your weight loss journey is more beneficial than you realize… and it isn’t even that difficult.

A weight loss blog keeps you focused

The first post or two on your blog should be about why you’ve decided to lose weight. These are the emotional reasons that you need to pen down… or in this case – type out.
If you’re worried about the world seeing it, don’t panic. You can set the post to private and add a password so that only you can see it.

These posts will help you remember why you started, if you’re ever thinking of quitting… and you’ll realize that if you don’t wish to start over, you should not stop.
Blogging will keep you focused on your goal and why it matters.

Blogging helps you stay on track

Besides just acting as a motivational tool, the blog also acts as a virtual accountability partner. You’ll need to record down your weight, the foods you eat, the exercise sessions you do and how you feel after each day.

By having a written record, you’ll be able to see patterns in your behavior and spot areas where you can make improvements to accelerate your progress.

What gets measured, gets managed. Your weight loss blog will serve as a tool to track your progress so that you can improve on it.

It can be cathartic to blog about your journey

The entire process of losing weight will require sacrifices, time, patience, pain, etc. There will be highs and lows – disappointments when the results you want don’t materialize and elation when you lose more weight than you expected.

This is to be expected, but it can take an emotional toll on you. Weight loss can be stressful. By blogging, you’ll have an outlet to release your pent-up frustrations.

The process is cathartic and it’ll feel like you’re purging all your negative energy on your blog. Many people report feeling ‘lighter’ and more at ease after blogging.

Your story helps inspire others

If your blog is public, your journey may inspire others to get off the couch and take their health seriously. They may use you as inspiration and start their own weight loss blog.

The ripples of your blogging and journey will spread and you won’t even know how much of a difference you’re making until people leave comments on your blog telling you how your blog changed their lives.

Serves as a future reference for yourself

Once you’ve reached your goal, you’ll have your journey recorded down and you’ll always be able to look at it for reference. It’s an unfortunate truth that most people who lose weight will gain it all back, if they get too lax with their diet/exercise.

If that happens to you, you’ll be able to refer to your blog and just follow what you did before to shed the creeping pounds and get back to your old weight.

Are you ready to start blogging?

To conclude, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose by blogging about your weight loss undertaking. Start on one today and enjoy the process. Not sure how to start a blog? Check out this blog from our partner HindeSights on websites.
