Been a while



Well, posts to the blog have definitely slowed down. Hopefully we're all just doing SO great we don't see an imminent need to post. But I know for me, it's a constant struggle still. I've made tons and tons of progress thanks to the help of this blog, your two's help, and a strong resolve.

We started this blog 4 months ago. It was something we all needed at the time. And for a solid 4 months I looked forward and even depended on posting. In these months I've changed a lifestyle. I've gone from feeling frustrated daily about by eating habits to feeling pretty confident. I spend less time overeating and feeling guilty about it.

I think it's really important to note that while these strides have been made, I still struggle. Having this blog was a support that's not as strong as it was 4 months ago. And that's okay. Getting a lifestyle change right takes time and I'm not convinced mine is 100% right yet.

I just want you guys to know this blog will always be here. Even though we're not all as dedicated to it as we once were, I think maintaining a healthy diet is something that still rings extremely important to all of us. Since there's a lull in the blog right now I really hope it's just the blog that's not getting the attention, and the diets aren't suffering as well. I don't want to assume that because the posts aren't flowing in we've all gone off the deep end. I don't assume that.

All I want to do is make it clear that the blog's still here, and I'm still here as a friend who's supportive and wants to help all of us in our journeys to better health. With all the things we talk about in our group, it took a really long time for us to get the health topic out on the table. I don't want that topic to go away. I don't want all of the work we put into open communication about our eating troubles to go down the drain. So just know that I'm here, I think you're both still there to listen to me as well. And if it's not here we're sharing that we'll still share on the phone, in person or somehow. Because if it's two things we've learned through this blog, we're not alone in our struggles and the three of us are willing to help the other two in any way we can.

Love you.
