Feeling like you're the only person who has to skip the office cupcakes and watch what you eat to maintain a healthy weight is...not great. But if that's you, you're not alone! Case-in-point: weight loss bloggers who get brutally honest about the challenges—and huge perks—that come with giving your lifestyle a healthy overhaul.
To find your spirit blog, think about what you want to get out of it, recommends Jessica Cording, M.S., R.D., a certified weight management specialist and the blogger behind
Jessica Cording Nutrition. If you want someone who is going through the same struggles you are, look for a blogger who's in the same stage of their weight-loss journey, suggests Cording. Need new healthy recipes? A nutritionist who posts her favorites might be your best bet.
Here are a few she recommends you bookmark.
