This isn't abut dieting, but I had to share this with everyone.

This Wednesday is 1/3rd of a year free of cutting. This Wednesday is 1/3 of a year from the time I decided I wouldn't kill myself. Wednesday is 1/3rd of a year from the day where my life completely turned around.

Ever since May 5th, 2012, I have taken every single day as a blessing. Life is good. I am so happy that I stopped. I am so happy that I finally went to my friends to talk to them, and got help.

Sure I still have trouble now and then sticking with it. But besides for the first few weeks, this was easy. The more I experience, the easier it is to stick with.

I am so proud right now. I just had to share this with my MFP pals.

May 5th, 2012 is a day I will always remember.

Bless you all! And thank you for reading. <3

    Thank you so much. <3. I know 1/3rd of a year isn't much, but I'll take what I can get. I can't wait until I am 10 months free so that I can speak out to teens who struggle with this to help them. <3
