Life has just got too darn busy and I can't fit blogging into it anymore.
I have spent the last five years sharing my life with you and you sharing yours with me.
It's been great but now I really need to focus on me. Not writing about me but on getting my head in the right space, on getting healthy, on being loving towards my family and I am afraid blogging just doesn't factor in my busy week.
I have made some damn good friends and I mean that sincerely. I could single many of you out but you know who you are.
When I started this journey way back on Diary-X when I was only a mother of two that worked part time, I think I weighed in at 108.6kg (to be exact).
I'm now a mother of four and I am spend more and more time on the computer. With the advent of Facebook, between the two I am on here way more than is acceptable as a parent.
I am addicted to this voyeuristic online world. So, to curb my addiction, to start getting on top of my life, something has to give.
I will still be around on Facebook, I have limited myself to a couple of half hour sessions a week.
I will miss this outlet, very much. It has become such a big part of my life, that being the issue. I am currently going through a Financial Freedom/Success course and it has shown me that I am really wasting so many hours of constructive time a day on this thing. I don't do the amount of parenting, housekeeping, dogkeeping, loving, living that I need to be doing.
I have come a long way in 5 years and many of you have seen me go through many changes. None of which include my weight, as I currently weigh about the same as I did 5 years ago, maybe a couple kg less. I think living life each day will help me get to where I need to be.
I do feel like I am saying goodbye to a great friend - for the last time.
Please say goodbye, leave me a message, especially you lurkers.
Love to all (I'll leave this up for a couple of weeks and then I will delete it all). So longxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Jules
I will miss you updates. It is too easy to spend too much time in front of the computer. I wish you & your family all the best.

Seriously, thanks for sharing your life here.

I'm an intermittent lurker - just pop in every couple of months to see how you're going. Wishing you all the best for the future. Z xx
Keep well darlin'. It's been a pleasure reading your blog & you most definitely will be missed.
Hello beautiful
What a great decision - get out there and live!
I look forward to seeing you next week in your neck of the woods. Email me about where you would love to meet up and what works for you - I will have a car and can travel to wherever suits, or we can meet in town.
See you soon!
xo
What a coincedence, then, that I should pop in today.
Best of luck Jules. Love your work.
Oh shunt flaps... don't DELETE it! Just leave it here, I think it's something nice to look back on?
You've achieved a lot here - made lots and lots of friends and become one of my dearest. And you have so much more to achieve outside of the internet too.
Love you xx
Hmmm. Lets wait and see eh? I have heard "Bye Bye" from many, and the buggers come back! So here's hoping you do.
And hopefully we can meet up some day soon. If you want me phn number, just send me an email anytime.
OMG! I am so sorry to hear that are you stopping blogging as I will really miss your blogging but you are doing it for all of the right reasons and perhaps could give some of us a chance to look at how much time we may spend online! Will keep in touch with FB that is for sure! Thanks for sharing your life with us for the last 5yrs! You are one amazing, special woman and never ever forget that! Love you Jules! xx
Bye! I respect your decision, 100% I'll see you around on FB when you are there. I will miss your blog posts that make me spit out my coffee with laughter! Don't you dare lose touch, ok? xox
Deeeepressed doesn't even begin to cover it!
:(
Thank you for all the laughs, girl.
One thing though - don't delete it. Stick it on private if you need to (with no-one approved to read it) but don't delete it. It's a great diary of your life!
I'm with Beetricks... Dont delete it..Just lock it up.. thats what I did with my old blog..
every now and then I go back and have a look at where i have come from... keeps me smiling..
take care and well done on taking the step to get your life back!
Just go on a long blog vacation and then come back. Please!
All the very best Jules

You told me you'd written your last post through Facebook. I had to come and see it for myself.

Ciao.
Don't take it down as others have suggested...lock it but its a huge slice of your life. Lash out and gradually from the beginning print it down and put it in a ring binder...its like a journal and a snapshot of your life...I am amazed at the stories and times I shared with don i would have totally forgotten had I not had mine. Ink costs, but if you just did a few months at a time its achievable...just a thought... Drop by from time to time anyway and say hello if you feel like it one day. I will miss you Jules, take care and if you just up and go have a good like okay.
You are a gorgeous honest and inspirational person to have gotten to know, shit, you cant go..but I DO understand why you cannot stay. Please email me when you come to Melbourne/Bendigo. I will come meet you..my Pa lives in Bendigo and so that would be just grouse :)
Huggs and kisses, Cazzie :)
sorry to see you go but will check up on you in facebook :-). Take care.
Bitch! No seriously...I will so miss your blog, hearing about your exciting life and your super witty comments.
I hope life treats you GREAT! I will miss you!
Happy Mother's Day woman :)
Jules: Come back...the universe needs you. :)
You know, i think deleting your blog is a testament to your strength.
You've brought so much to the blogging world, always genuine and funny, even when times were tough.
You'll be sorely missed.
All the best,
Cath

nice to have been a part of your life for a short time jules take care and live life to the fullest girlfriend
I hope you don't delete yourself completely - either way, I will jkeep you on my RSS feed just in case you feel like writing anytime soon. Will miss you hon but definitely catch you on FB.
Have always admired so much of what you do Jules. Love your "tell it like it is" approach and have so enjoyed sharing in your life for so many years! I'll miss your blog, but with my lack of updates and comments over the past couple of months have to say I can understand your reasons as I struggle to find the time often too. Look forward to keeping tabs on you through facebook!
Miss us yet? YES! Come back! :)
OMG, haven't had the nasty internet for a while. So sorry your going, I lurked most of the time, but will really miss your genuiness.
