does anyone read this stuff?

I try to read the stuff my "fitness pals' post and reply or click "like" to show that I do so. Most of the time it's just notifications that they have logged in so many days, or lost so many pounds. But if someone posts something, I read it. Maybe they want an opinion, maybe they want support. I figure that's the point of being a "pal", right? To be there and read what they post. Sometimes I get replies to what I post, mostly it gets swept away unnoticed. So I started blogging a daily entry and also to try to read some of the other blogs that are posted, These are by random people out there, and I pick one or two and read them and I try to comment so they know someone took the time to read what they wrote...and not those blogs on the front page with many, many votes-someone is reading them, right?... but the ones by people like me with no votes. They also are upset, or lonely, or venting but I see no one has commented. Just like no one seems to ever comment on my blog. That is actually OK. I really have been writing it for myself all this time, just to put some of my feelings down. Yes, I'm sure it's probably boring, or whiny, or just not as well written as some of them out there. But I'm not trying to publish a book, I'm trying to make it through another day without allowing myself to give in to pity. or anger. or frustration. or anything that would give me an excuse to cave in and go and stuff my face like I've done for so many years. I don't have that kind of time anymore. Maybe everyone is really just writing their blogs for the same reason I'm writing mine, just to get through another day.
