I think your blog was really very honest. I posted a few times with questions like, "Is this normal?" or "Am I doing the right thing?", but noticed that more often than not I'm seeing a lot of posts looking for validation that it's okay to do the wrong things. I think I typically stay away from those because I get how hard the decisions can be, and I don't want to be part of someone's poor decision making one way or the other, but I agree with you. It took me a few months to realize that they REALLY weren't joking when they said it could come off slow and that I would have to work just as hard to get a very slow weight loss. I had to really temper my personal weight loss against all of the people I was seeing on the boards that were losing crazy amounts of weight in 6 months. Now I have my own expectations. It was nice to read a bit of honesty !
