A Letter To My Readers.

My Dear Readers:
It is with a heavy heart that I write this post.

I have so enjoyed cooking and sharing my recipes with you,
but the effects of maintaining a cooking blog
have finally taken a toll on me.

Over the past 5 years,
my weight has ballooned.
I've tried and tried to lose it,
but I know now I can't do it alone.

Later this week, I will be checking into
l'Hôpital Gastronomique in Monaco
for gastric bypass surgery.
XKT will be accompanying me
to serve as patient advocate.

My procedure will be on a live video feed
for those of you interested.
I will apprise you of the date and time.

I thank you all, my friends, for your support.
I thank you for reading my blog.
I thank you for your friendship.
I thank you for being there for me.
Right there on my Feedjit!

I don't know when I'll be back,
or even if I will be back.

Please know that I appreciate all of you
 for making these past years of my life 
so meaningful, enjoyable, pleasurable, and beniful.
You've all been QIBSWEDYK!


Sincerely,
Rosie Hawthorne

PS:   QIBSWEDYK is what you type
 when both hands are one letter to the left
and you're touch-typing.
PPS:  If you're too lazy to go to your keyboard,
QIBSWEDYK = wonderful

I moved to the outer banks a little less than a year ago and have also added some "happiness" around the middle. Maybe you could use the blog for tasty and healthy recipes and as a success journal. Whatever you do, good luck to you in your future; always!

Rosie, I think that you should start featuring those new fad diets that are 100% non-food, 100% all chemicals that are guaranteed to kill you before you hit your desired weight-loss goal.

And if you believe that, I have some ocean-front property in Sunny Southern Indiana I'd be more than happy to sell you - at a premium, mind you.
