I am writing this entry at 7 AM my local time. I could not sleep whole night and it is nothing new for me. Since I started professional blogging in March 2006, it has become my habit. My sleeping habit has got totally destroyed. I have gained huge amount of weight and I become perhaps more obsessed with food and less eager to do any kind of physical activity. As a result, at a very young age, I am now suffering a lot of physical problems. Well, blogging can be addictive and very challenging. For example, today, in our network, we already have 21,000+ page views and in the end of the day according to Sitemter (which was set according to US Pacific Time), it may be around 24,000 page views. It is superb for a small network like ours and I should have slept in a happy mood.

However, blogging is such a challenging field that it has really destroyed my health and mind. Today, I decided that I would try to get my health back. I was just trying to sleep for some hours and could not. So, I decided to come back to the writing table and write until I feel tired and can sleep.

I am trying now a lot to lose some weight. Fortunately, in the last two weeks, I could lose almost 3 Kilo Gram. Still, I am over weight and a month ago, I noticed that I could not put on any of my trousers and it was like the wake up call for me. I know that it will take several months to get back some normal health. Of course, blogging was not that only factor that made my condition terrible but blogging is the main problem.

Perhaps the biggest problem is that you have to try to give fresh news earlier than others. I always enjoy this competition but this has caused a lot of stress on my nerve. I can handle stress some better than the average people but excess of anything is always bad.

If you are reading it today or tomorrow or after one year, please, try to remember my lesson and don’t make the same mistake. Try to say to yourself that if you are not healthy then you cannot do your passion (blogging) in a good way. This is the thing that has happened to me. I have some excellent ideas now and I have become matured as a blogger. However, since I am physically weak and emotionally exhausted, it often becomes difficult to write some simple entries.

So, if you are a professional blogger then please look after your health.
