Don't know what I'm doing, Only why I'm doing it

I don't know how to do this. I really don't know how to blog.

Often I had thought of making one before and had made a half hearted attempt at it in the past but it never amounted to anything. Or I made one and I didn't lose any weight. I suppose why I didn't start a blog at the beginning of this weight loss journey was because I really didn't believe I was going to lose the weight.

Over a month ago I started reading a blog called 'A merry life'. I was hooked instantly, I went back several years and read all of her posts. I could relate to so much of it, she got it, she was living it, had lived it. I didn't think of it at first then I started considering attempting the same thing. Not the same sort necessarily other than the fact they are weight loss blogs. I'm not a professional writer or blogger and I really don't expect very many people to read this.

When I decided to create this blog I had lost almost 100lbs. I felt at a point where I knew I wouldn't quit. I wanted to document the rest of my journey in something other than pictures. I wanted to express what I was going through. And maybe someone, eventually, could read my jumbled words and in someway relate to them.

Even still, I didn't really know how. I created this blog and I just sort of started talking. I still have so many questions about it, Should my posts be more focused? How much of my life outside of weight loss should I speak about? Should I post pictures? Ones with my face? How do I improve? It goes on and on.

I don't know how to do this, I don't know what I'm doing, but I know why I want to do this. Because of that the beginning of this blog feels a lot like the beginning of my weight loss.
