On the day after Easter three years ago, I gave up sugar, white flour, potatoes and white rice. It was my last-ditch effort to lose weight and I was scared. I had agreed to write a blog for ClubMom.com (which no longer exists) and I feared embarrassment and failure.
Instead, I found success and a community of supportive, lovely blog readers.
And so with regret, I must announce that I'm putting this blog on hiatus. For over a year, I have been working full-time online (for CafeMom.com--awesome website you should check out). I have four children and a husband. And now, I have committed to writing a novel by Thanksgiving. I am at my breaking point.
Clearly, something has to go. And that something is this blog. Just for now.
Meanwhile, I started my day with a bowl of old-fashioned oatmeal and a pledge to stop eating white flour, white sugar, white potatoes and white rice. I am determined to peel off the weight that found its way back to me. (I lost 60 pounds and regained 40!)
Now, please don't abandon me!
You can still find me blogging over at Actual Unretouched Photo.
You can follow me on Twitter or Facebook.
You can email me at Melodee (at) gmail (dot) com.
Plus, I have fantastic archives you can browse, even though there will be no new content for now.
I wish you all well. Please keep in touch.
