Blogging’s effects on dieting
I recently wrote a feature piece for PBS exploring how dieters were able to utilize blogging — and the community support built around it — to maintain weight loss. I found it incredibly fascinating combing through the archives and speaking to these bloggers, some of whom have lost upwards of 60 pounds after launching their blogs.
A few days later I was contacted by a producer from a program on community radio in Sydney, Australia called “The Fourth Estate.” She said she wanted to interview me about my piece, and you can listen to the interview on the program’s website — just click to listen to the March 12 episode and I’m in the very first segment.
Cool shit, man. That lady sounds like she had nasal problems. She couldn’t pronounce the “n” in your last name.
I don’t have a diet blog per se, but I’ve made my home page a blog post containing my daily weighings . Although it doesn’t support your article’s thesis, I did it not for the community support but for the fact that I would have a way to see my progress over time.
BTW, here’s a scary animation of the obesity rate in the US over the past 2 decades .
