I just love it. I have printed it so that I can return to it time and again for inspiration and motivation. I guess it just came to me at the right time because I have been talking to myself about making permanent lifestyle changes instead of stressing myself out in expectations of instant results. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and for establishing this blog.Sharitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00844386266979877747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7667966135373993541.post-1477680658107810842008-10-07T13:21:00.000-07:002008-10-07T13:21:00.000-07:00You are an eloquent writer.

I am a university professor who is conducting research on WEIGHT LOSS BLOGGERS AND THE ROLE BLOGGING HAS PLAYED IN THE BLOGGER’S WEIGHT LOSS. <BR/><BR/>As you may be aware, a lot of research has been done over the years on weight loss but very little has been done on blogging and weight loss. I hope you will help me remedy this.<BR/><BR/>I have chosen you as a potential research participant because you have a weight loss blog, have a weight loss goal of 100 pounds or more, and have been blogging for at least three months.<BR/><BR/>If you choose to participate in this study, you will be asked to complete a survey that I will email you. Your answers will be completely confidential and I will use a pseudonym of your choice in the final study.<BR/><BR/>I have an information sheet about the study I would be happy to share with you. Please email me at aldridga@nsuok.edu if you would like to take a look at it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your time and best of luck to you on your weight loss journey.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Amy Aldridge Sanford, PhD<BR/>Assistant Professor of Communication Studies<BR/>Northeastern State University<BR/>Tahlequah, OKDr. Amy Aldridge Sanfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7667966135373993541.post-54891857977265137702008-09-28T02:43:00.000-07:002008-09-28T02:43:00.000-07:00<I> JSpring<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for the wonderful analogy!!
