Hi guys! So sorry I haven't updated for so long - I just haven't been feeling it lately. I was blaming the weather and cold, dark nights, but really, my heart's just not in it anymore.
I started blogging when I was losing weight, I was posting my daily food and exercise diaries and using my blog to help keep me on track and make be a bit more accountable. But I've lost the weight now - yes I would still like to lose a few pounds but I've felt that way for about a year now and nothing has change. My blog has served it's purpose and now it's time for a change.
I no longer want to be accountable for my weight - I'm fit and I'm healthy a few pounds really are not important and I should feel like I need to lose them - no one has made me feel this way, just writing a blog about healthy eating and weight loss that has.
I no longer want to stress about what I'll eat for breakfast and lunch every day and worry about having the same things a few days being boring, or worrying about the fact I haven't posted my food for a while because it is boring. I want to just... well, eat what I want really. If it's blog worthy I'll share, if not, I wont.
I've been feeling like this for a while but didn't really know what to do or where to go with it. I don't want to give up blogging as I really enjoy it and it seems a shame to "give up" on Stella Does Healthy Eating - but I have outgrown it so I am going to start a new blog. It's still going to focus on food - but just food as food, not healthy food or healthy eating or calorie counting or fuel. I bloody love food, pretty much all food - it's why I found myself wanting to lose 2 stone after all! Writing about and photographing food for Stella Does Healthy Eating has made me love it even more, that and exploring new foods and has turned me into a bit of a foodie - and I'm not going to deny it anymore, it's what I am and it's what I'm going to be! I'm not going to restrict myself to just blogging about food though I'll be throwing up a bit of everything.
I have been thinking about this for a while without really knowing what I wanted, it was only when a friend over at The Greedy Girl re-launched her blog as a foodie blog, because that is what she loves and why should she feel guilty for it? - that is what made me realise I really should just do it!
I hope you will stick with me! I'll post the new link up here once I'm all set.

Hey! You dont need to worry. I think everyone changes at somne point.I also thought about giving up my blog because I wasnt sticking to a certain diet (food and exercise). But I do like blogging and first, I blog for myself so I write what I want ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll be following your new blog anyway ;)
My blog has gone through changes too - it kind of started up as a beauty blog and now is mainly about food and fitness. I look forward to whatever you write about next! x
ReplyDeleteI think we all reach a point where a change of direction can be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI used to post daily on WLR making myself accountable and that served a purpose for a good couple of years.
Now I'm more of a lurker.... :p
looking forward to your new style blog :) x
