The Substack trend makes me sad. I'd gladly read several just like I used to read several blogs pre Facebook, but I can't afford to pay all that money for multiple blogs when, as you say, I can pay for one or two newspapers and get multiple writers and perspectives.
I'm still glad on your behalf that you've lost so much weight and kept it off, I'm sure it makes for a physically easier life and a healthier future. And I agree, there's no end to it (learning from recent increased-weight experience.) Good luck with it.
Such an interesting series of newsletters, and I really enjoyed your straightforward take on changing eating habits. Thanks so much for having shared all those insights !
Thank you, Laura, for your great offerings. I've enjoyed reading them and I've been encouraged by them.
I'm sorry it hasn't worked out financially. Clearly, that's absolutely no reflection on your writing or your content, it's just that so many people are doing it.
I think that's the problem journalism has too. Too many people think they can write - they can't - and it's making the market impossible for those who can. All the best. Lulu
Thank you Lulu! That's very kind of you. Yes there are many writers and not enough readers! I'm so glad I'm now retired. I don't envy those still trying to make journalism pay! Take care, see you somewhere else on t'internet! x

Thanks Suze. Agree with you. I don’t think this is the future for paid journalism. Keep going with the weight loss. Setbacks are part of it. X
