I’m really still here!

I really, really appreciate all the comments and emails checking on me. Yes, I’m still here, and I’m holding on, with prospects looking up.
I probably should have mentioned at some point that I historically get into a major funk around my birthday (middle of June), and this year was a doozy, what with the health issues and the work issues compounding the normal birthday blues.
Seriously, we are talking major mid-life crisis. I mean major. It wasn’t just about relapsing as far as eating goes, it was a full-blown depressing and existential “what the hell is going on” kind of episode…things were pretty scary for a while.
Well, the good news is that after skidding down the slippery slope for nearly two months, I finally realized I was out of my league, and last week, I got myself back to my therapist.
Things aren’t quite back where they were in April, but I’m feeling a lot more confident, and am feeling optimistic for the first time in many weeks.
That said, entries are still going to be a bit sparse, as I’m off to Nags Head for a week (or two) of vacation with the family. I promise to get back to regular posting no later than mid-August! Really :).
Thanks again to everyone for your kind words…they really meant a lot!

Thanks for checking in, Beth. Glad you’ve climbed back up far enough to be able to check in. Have a good time on your trip.

Glad, you’re halfway back, I started wondering. Hope you’ll be having a nice vacation.

So happy to hear from you. Not too long before your last post, I started reading your blog and actually went back through every post in your archive! Wonderful reading. Looking forward to hearing more from you soon. Enjoy the vacation!

Excellent! You’ve been missed! Have a nice relaxing vacation and recharge your batteries. Glad you checked in, now we can stop worrying and wondering what happened to Beth!

Thanks for checking in! In the world of health and diet blogs typically when some one stops posting it means that they’ve begun to backslide and I was getting worried. I’m glad that you’ve gone back to a therapist and that you’re back (kind of). I look forward to your posting regularly again!

Yay! I’m glad you’re back and doing better. I missed you!

So sorry about the midlife crisis! I get those a couple times a month, it seems like. Glad you’re back…
