BlackGirlsGuidetoWeightLoss.com : Erika Nicole Kendall
Getting Started: “I started the blog in 2009 so I could keep myself accountable for the things that I was learning on my journey to losing weight. I lost about 160 pounds and, along the way, there were all these things that I really wasn’t finding anywhere else.”
Biggest Challenge: “The biggest challenge is fighting the very pervasive myth about wellness, weight loss and health overall. To me, the idea that people constantly believe that you need a strict diet in order to lose weight. I don’t diet. If I want a piece of cake, I’m going to have it. But, I find now that I don’t always want the cake. The cake can be in front of me and I’m not interested.”
Advice: “Decide what you stand for and never ever waiver from it no matter how much money is thrown in your face. My readers support me because I write what I believe in. So define what it is you stand for and never ever waiver from that and that will be the most valuable thing about you as a blogger.”
