Important Update

In case anyone is wondering, I’m playing around with privacy settings on this blog right now. I’ve decided to privatize many (or most of) my older entries for the time being. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have decided to give some serious thought on how much of my personal life I’d like to display publicly online from now on. Especially since people I know in real life are coming to this blog now.

Also, I’ve been blogging on here for over 3 years now and I’m honestly wondering if it’s ‘time’ to just move on. I mean, the issues I have blogged about for the past 3 years are pretty much… over! I’m eating what I want and dropping weight like crazy, (or at least slimming down like crazy) as I suspected I would if I stayed off the booze long enough. And I’m able – about 85% of the time – to make good and healthy food choices. I don’t comfort-eat anymore.

As for my other issues… well, I’ve made a lot of progress in therapy and hypnosis. For the record, hypnosis and past-life regression work by far has been the most effective tool in my emotional healing. And, of course, I also am on the road to recovery from my alcoholism and am in a recovery program for that.

Basically, I feel like this blog has been a blog mostly about my struggles. Does my new way of living and viewing life still fit in here? I honestly don’t know, but I’m suspecting that they don’t. I feel like I should make a new start, perhaps even start a new blog with a different name. After all, I’m not really a ‘girl on a diet’ anymore. I’m nowhere near the girl I was when I started this blog! I’ve come a long way from her, but have a long way to go still (and look forward to the journey ahead).

I own several other good domain names that I can use for a new blog. If I decide to go that route, I’ll post a link here. But I’m still not sure how much of my life that I now want to be public for any and all to read. It’s something I’ll need to meditate on and think about for a while.

If I do end up abandoning this blog, I’ll leave it up with the final entries and eventually post some before and after photos of myself at some point down the line – perhaps when I’m only 10 pounds away from my goal weight.

All the past entries are still here – I haven’t deleted them but they are privatized. When I make my final decision about this all – which may be tomorrow morning or maybe in a week, I will let you all know!
