How do you lose weight while blogging? We all know that when you blog, you just sit down and face the computer screen for hours. It is such a sedentary activity that you don't burn much fat. Accumulating those fats can make you, well, fat.

Ok, so I'm a little obese. You know, those silly ratios that says you have a disproportionate weight to height ratio. At 5'7'', I should weigh only 150-170. What?!!! I got to shed out 25% of my current weight.

With my blogging activities, plus work that requires me to sit down in my cubicle 9-10 hours a day, and no time to have some exercise, losing weight is such a gargantuan task.

So, how do you lose weight while blogging? Simply, don't eat. If you tell me it's risky, well, it is indeed risky. The truth is, we have to balance our activities, whether it be blogging, working, eating or exercising.

Some open a blog, then after a few months and a few posts, leave it a waste in the blogosphere. Then they get hooked again, and after the fancy has died down, the blog is once again buried in the pits.

By why can't we value our blogs and be serious with what we have started? The reasons are varied and these are some of those:

1. Blogging is free. It is easy to open a blog. Go to blogger.com (or wordpress.com) and in a few minutes, you now have a space in the internet world. If you want to leave that blog to die, there is no risk for you.

Try buying your own domain and webhosting space. That is the beginning of serious blogging.

2. Lack of goals. You blog because everyone else does it. And you just post whatever you want disregarding quality. The goal is just to write and nothing else.

3. Attitude. So, you aim to rant. Sooner or later, you'd get bored at your own ramblings and rantings. And when there is nothing left to rant, you leave your free blog.

But what about those blogged for years now? What made them stick? Of course, it is just the reverse of the things I mentioned above. And they are not afraid to experiment on many new things. Of blogging experiments, there is no end. Don't let your blog die away. Keep the blogging passion burning!
