This is both an apology and a confession/explanation.

I really must apologize to you all. I haven't been absolutely truthful with you and I think that it is now time to be it.

As you may know, I went on a self-imposed diet last Autumn mainly because my weight was causing problems which concerned me greatly. Over the few months before I caught the flu back in February, I lost 15 kilos. (In poundage, that's about 30 pounds.) I was feeling good about myself and feeling much better. All the health problems that the extra weight had been causing disappeared.

When I got the flu, I took that opportunity to quit smoking. Unfortunately, I started pigging out to compensate and the beef started packing back on and the problems I'd been suffering last Autumn began to return.

I conquered the smoking much more easily than I would have thought and I assure you that I haven't had so much as a single puff. Getting back to my diet hasn't been quite as successful, though, and I actually became depressed about it which was the wrong thing to happen since I wanted to eat more to combat the depression.

I know I have to fight this and get back to where I was before (losing weight), but it is an uphill battle. However, I believe I am now at the top of the hill and it's a downhill ride from here. I've finally got a handle on the eating and I am forcing myself to limits.

So, where does this leave the stories? Well, I sat down and actually wrote for almost 2 hours yesterday, which is about 2 hours longer than I've been able to write since I got sick. (Up to this past weekend, the writing was as depressing as I felt.)

I'm sorry you've had to wait so long, but I really need to get my health back. I'll write when I can and update new chapters when I can, but, at least for now, there won't be regular updates. I can't commit myself to such a schedule at the moment.

I realize I've probably lost some readers because of this, but, at the moment, I have more important things to deal with. I won't abandon you. I have every intention of getting on with it. I just wanted you to know what has been going on.

Thank you for all your support and understanding, and, as always, take care.

Neil
 
Dear Neil, (!) We do understand, but be aware that weight is also generic and partly due to age. Smoking disguised that, and gave you a false impression of what your weight should be. Your new regimen of diet will work. But your weight will doubtless be higher. So be it. Accept what is inevitable, cease worrying over what cannot be changed, and enjoy life. "Let the FORCE be with you" :wave:
 
Thank you for this note. And as all have said, your health is most important.
Do what you need to do and write when you feel like it. Your true fans will always be here.
(*8*) :kiss:
 
I'm probably not telling you anything you don't know, but so many people forget the reason they often smoke is to cope with stress. When we try to give up something like smoking, we are usually giving up a coping mechanism that we don't then intentionally replace with something more healthy. So overeating comes in, as you said, to compensate for the lack of a stress reliever.

Here's hoping you can find a healthy coping mechanism to kick the overeating and get into excellent shape, Neil. A short break from you on here is worth it if it means having you around for the long term after you get things under control. :kiss:
 
I'm still a faithful reader Neil. I'm glad you're writing again and even if it does take a while to put out something new get feeling better. :)
 
Dear Neil, we are all still with you!!
You have been on a rollercoaster .... hopefully now you are starting to cope with it all.
You lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, this is sressful in itself. Settle for a weight that you can sustain, don't bother about charts etc.
Peace & Love

Neil, Thanks for the update and congrats on stopping smoking and regaining your handle on your diet. As a loyal fan that doesn't post too often, your thread inspired me to let you know that there are many of us who are quiet, but remain loyal readers.

Take your time, get healthy, and we'll keep looking forward to updates if and when they arrive. Meanwhile, know you have our support and admiration.

you don't have to be sorry Neil for not updating chapters for "watching Brad"...

all i can say is that, you haven't lost your readers! We're just here patiently waiting..and until you're well and able,your readers are still here to read more of what you'll post...i am one of them.

with prayers for your good health my friend!!!
 
Neil
Luckily I have been busy with the move so putting Brad and whats-his-name on hold hasn't been as traumatic as I originally thought it would be. Get your life sorted out and we will be here when you return.;)
 
Your health and well being is way more important than any story ever written by anyone.
Who knows, you might make up a story out of your experience that might just help someone else who wants/needs to quit smoking or go on a diet.
Even if it only helps one person - its worth it.
 
I agree with what everyone else is saying. Get completely well and we'll be waiting for the contination of Brad and Ted and family. So glad to hear you are feeling so much better.

Hi, everyone.

Just a little update for you. Things are finally getting back to normal around here and I'm adapting to not smoking anymore. I don't have any cravings anymore, and I really have not desire to want to smoke again.

I'm still battling the food, though. My weight gain has levelled off (thank goodness!!) and now I'm working on eating to lose it again. Except for a very serious panic attack earlier this week, I'm feeling better both physically and mentally.

I'm going to force myself to get back into a writing routing now. You may not be aware, but when this story first began, I was writing up to 14 hours per day - and sometimes even more if I was on a roll. I don't know if I'll be able to do that again.

At any rate, I'm making a commitment here an now to have a new chapter next week. If I don't make a commitment to you now, I may keep procrastinating.

Thanks for waiting and, again, thanks for your understanding and support and encouragement.

As always, take care.
Neil
 
Thank's alot for checking in with us.

I'm overjoyed to hear of your renewed wellness.

We eagerly await a visit with Ted and Brad et al next week.

Thank you so much for making this commitment.


'Til next week then.
 
your health and well being are the most important things. I'm glad you are on the right track with those. You will be on the write track soon enough. When we get new chapters to 'Brad' and 'Jason', we will enjoy them that much more knowing you are healthy and happy.
