Today marks six months for me. The scale may be down only 8 pounds, but the clothes in my closet tell a different story. I'm down two sizes, so methinks the scale lies
It feels like a crossroad to me. Where S days were likened with removing the training wheels, where I am now feels like I've added wings. The calendar is green and yellow without thought or effort. S days are the best of all possible esses - sane and sensible, yet sublime. I feel like myself again and life is so much more enjoyable.
The next step for me is to make No S even less obtrusive than it already is. I am going to back away from the board, ditch that useless scale and go about living.
It isn't an easy thing to do. There are many here who feel like friends to me, but I feel like it's what I need to do now. I will check in the later this week so if anyone is interested in keeping in touch through email or chat, etc, PM me. Otherwise I plan to be back in the fall for a one-year update ( after all, everyone knows how hard it is to get rid of dandelions )

Re: My turn
Well, while we'll miss you, I don't think anyone expects you to live on the board. I think it's WONDERFUL that you have made No-S such a strong habit.

Dandelion,
Congratulations!
Oh, the scale certainly lies. And even when it's telling the truth it isn't always about the right thing.
I hear you about blogs and bulletin boards in general (and even our lovely board here) being a potential problem, something to obsess about. As the "founder," I feel a sense of obligation to make a daily (well, n-daily) appearance, but I've got limits (blimits) in place to keep it from being much more than that. Systematic moderation even in bulletin board moderation.
Best of luck and looking forward to an occasional hello!
Reinhard
