I am back. Never really left.
Just started doing other stuff, none of it too important. And as a result let
the blog reading and writing slide. I confess I did not miss it at first. It
was like a large weight off my shoulders. Then as time slipped away it got
easier and easier to just ignore the blogging. So I did. And slowly but surely
other things replaced it. I started cutting back portion sizes for meals and
being creative in the kitchen with a tighter budget. I also started to window
shop more than buy and that meant walking around stores. I scooted less. A
funny thing happened,. Before I knew it, I had lost alot of weight. About 120 lbs
to be exact. That meant a new wardrobe, undergarments etc. My creative side
knows NO bounds. The problem is now that it is in place... I got the old
longings for the old way of life. The familiar food and the old me. And I started to miss you all. So that's where I'm at, right now. I'm struggling with not gaining the pounds
back and I'm trying to reconnect. It will not be like before. This new approach
has legs and I'm sticking with it. But I wanted to touch base and say hello.
Did you miss me? be honest???

I did miss you. I even mentioned it in Lucy's blog one day. I'm just glad you're okay so you can go back to not blogging if you want. Hee hee
I noticed your absence as well... funny how you notice people missing whom you never have met. Anyway, congrats on the weight loss. That is AWESOME. Maybe I should back away from this keyboard and move around more... =)
I missed you to,you give out so much encouragement to others (including me)its probly time for us to do the same for you. Set yourself boundries with blog land, your budget,clothes weight etc etc. you do not have to put the weight back on. us in blog land are happy to have you back sometimes rather than not at all.
lots of love and best wishes jackie x
Honestly, I did think of you and miss you a few times. I was hoping all was well with you and your family. I think that is great with the weight loss. Don't go back to old habits with eating; you definitely want to keep the weight OFF.
betty
i did miss you but if coming back means gaining the weight...stay away! i would rather have you healthy!!!
Naw, we didn't miss you at all (*smile*).
I was actually very worried, because you left so abruptly, with no forwarding address....
It sounds like you did some very positive things while you were away. Congratulations on the weight loss!!!
Blogging can be extremely time-consuming and I'm often tempted to abandon it. Since I live entirely alone, I blog to let people know I'm still kicking - - and undoubtedly to convince myself that I'm still alive.
We always miss our blogger friends. Glad to see a post from you and congratulation on the weight loss! Jean
You're back! Welcome back. You've lost 120 lbs? That is huge! (NO pun intended!)
Hang in there. Stay strong. I'm proud of you.
I wondered where you had been.
xoxo, Cheryl
Oh yes, I did think about you and at times wondered if you were alright. I do know what you mean though, I am ready to take a break myself. Someimes that's all we need to get rejuvenated and refreshed. That is amazing that you lost 120 pounds!! I'm glad that you are back in blogland, and it sounds like the new year is being kind to you, Taryterre.

You have been missed! That is a remarkable weight loss in such a short time. I wish you the best in being able to maintain it now. To be able to walk more and scoot less is a wonderful thing. We'll be cheering you on!

Yes, I did miss you (and frankly worry if something terrible had happened) and I emailed and never heard back from you. I am glad to know you are okay.
Nice to see a post from you! And great job on the weight loss!!
Congrats! Nothing feels as good as losing weight. Nothing. Maybe a bite of cheesecake but we won't bring that up today. :)
I had a piece of cheesecake yesterday. It was devilishly good.
