A never before break from blogging.

Blogging has become a big part of my life. A very large demand.

I started this blog for me. A place to document my journey and my healthiness fight. And somewhere along the lines, it turned into a brand. A family. A community. Maintaining this community demands a lot of attention I never realized I’d have to commit.

I want to live life. I want to have balance.

I’ve been working with my therapist on the struggles I have and a lot of it comes from anxiety, the expectation I perceive others have of me and a certain level of perfectionism I think I have to maintain for others to see {just the perfect balance of struggles with healthiness.}

My therapist asked me when the last time I skipped a day of blogging, the last day I just woke up and decided I didn’t want to blog.  I couldn’t remember. Even on days when I said I was still taking a day off, I still wrote something. For years, I have maintained a 5 day a week schedule, never letting PriorFatGirl go without a weekday update.

Working a full time job plus running a blogging community is demanding. I’m need to figure out what balance is and who I am outside of Jen, a priorfatgirl.

I’ll be back next Monday, March 19th. During that time, I won’t be responding to emails or even reading them. I won’t be reading comments or anyone blogs. {um… I will be tweeting because that isn’t really demanding.} I will not be a blogger during that time. I will be a fiance. I will be a sister and a friend. I will be Jennifer. I will be an HR Generalist. I will be a fruit, vegetable & dessert eating running weight lifter.

I’m taking a never before break from blogging.
