First, I should thank those of you who have prompted me to get my act together. Without meaning to, it looks like I've acquired a built-in conscience for my dieting, and it has become impossible to say things like "Oh no one cares if I go off the meal plan" when my inbox has notes to the exact contrary.
Seriously, thank you.
The truth is, the way I was keeping this blog had become a burden. I was having a hard enough time managing my meal plan on the diet site, but then I made it inordinately complicated for myself to just track my meals and make observations (my original intentions). By slavishly including all the recipes, no matter how many times I'd had the same exact meal, I had turned what started as a pleasant process into quite a chore - one that I would put off for days, or recently, weeks at a time, until I had accumulated such a backlog that the task seemed not only daunting but impossible.
That said, I am starting a new format, where each day will have only one post that includes all the information. I will attempt to edit these throughout the day rather than leave myself four or five posts to write at once. I will only include ingredients when they are relevant (such as the first time I'm having a dish and want to record the recipe).
I will attempt to address the severe backlog I have for this site, though to be honest, I've forgotten a lot of what I ate or did, so it may be spotty in places.
Let's hope this works out better... and thank you again for your patience and support. I really can't adequately express how much it means to me that y'all have taken time out of your lives to check up on me and wish me well, but please know it goes both ways and I'm rooting for you too!

You do not know how much it means to me to see that you're back! There's been so much drama in my own life over the last couple weeks that I, too, have completely jumped off the diet wagon.
Yesterday was my first attempt (in 11 days) to get back to Weight Watchers. I was successful... until today. And I took another flying leap off the plan.
As much as it means to me to eat healthier and lose this weight, it's hard to stay on track when I feel like nobody else cares.
I wasn't going to stop by your blog tonight because I had kinda thought you might have given up here... but I'm so glad I did!
Coming on here, after a day of eating whatever I want and immediately hating myself for it, it was such a relief to see that you have been going through just about the same thing.
And knowing that other people are out there, making the effor to get back on track and stay there, makes me believe I can do it too.
Okay, I'm getting sappy here and I don't mean to... but, I just wanted to say Thanks... for helping a virtual stranger become inspired once again.

Aww Sam you're gonna make me cry. I agree, that it's so helpful to know other people are going through it.
I hope things are going better for you today!
