A few years ago when on yet another weight loss trip, I would sit for hours watching videos on YouTube created by people like me trying to shift the almighty bulge. Seeing how brave these people were, I decided to give it a go and a few months later had acquired 500+ subscribers, it was so weird to me that people would be so interested in anything I had to say, I never got that much attention at home and yet people were taking time out of their lives to sit and watch me prattle on about myself. But as with anything, there was a downside, the comments. Most of the time they were encouraging and inspirational but I received a lot of flack and being as self conscious as I am I started to make less and less videos until I completely stopped altogether, but that wasn't the only thing that stopped, my weight loss did too.
That was 4 years ago and now I'm back and amazingly enough I still have 385 subscribers, more than likely though I will probably only get 3 views per video and do I care? of course I do, I need the support! I am ready to take on the YouTube video challenge once again, but this time with a decent helping of "I don't care about the crap comments, I'm here for me" armour. I need to be in a community where I can share ideas and be inspired by other's efforts and hopefully offer something back in return.
So next Monday (NZ time) I shall post my first video and I promise to make them interesting rather than me sitting there barfing up an endless monologue of I'm doing this, I'm doing that, well that's the plan anyway :)
