Wow...so much time has passed since I've talked to all of you girls and I just want to thank each and every one of you for all that you helped me to learn and overcome. I haven't been on in forever, long enough to have only just gotten my birthday wishes from last year a very belated thanks!!! college is going wonderfully, I've made deans list every semester and feel like I am heading in the right direction with dietetics. I have maintained my weight and healthy attitude for a full 1.5 years now...I don't really consider the months after I "recovered" as anything but limbo b/c there was still so much doubt and I lost some weight when I first started school. Freshman year was a bit of a dud (a.k.a completely wasted), locked myself away too much, gave too much attention to a man that was not very nice to me and mistreated our friendship, had a bit of a nervous breakdown that involved severe anxiety...then over the summer I had a great job and that led me into Sophomore year where I finally ended my "friendship" with that guy, broke out of my shell, met a lot of cool people, stopped talking to a lot of not so cool people...and best of all met the love of my life I finally met a guy that makes me feel 100% comfortable and amazing and treats me better than I ever imagined....I love him so much and never thought I would be so lucky as to meet someone like him. We just click All I ever feel when I think of him is happy and content and excited and every positive feeling you can think of, it is never a source of stress. Anyway, suffice it to say that led to an absolutely wonderful second year of college...it was definitely a stage of maturing for me and a lot of growing up was involved. I am no longer afraid to end friendships with people who don't treat me like I deserve...always a downfall of mine. I have also completely embraced my body and taking care of it which is WONDERFUL! Another summer passed at the old folks home, love was long distant and amazing, and now it's near the end of my Junior year...hardest semester of school yet and my love was in Ireland for nine weeks: a lot of growing has been involved this year. I've come to realize that getting a bad grade is not the end of the world. And being away from my love has only made our relationship stronger and happier actually, there is so much security I just think about you guys a lot lately, I think mainly because these boards inspired the speeches I gave in my speech class: a problem speech on eating disorders with a policy speech and motivational speech to follow. I know this is becoming a book but after all we were through together I just thought I'd let you know what has been going on these two years or more I have not been on here...hope you all are thriving! Life is too short, remember to embrace every moment for what it is and never take those around you for granted! Live and love every day to the fullest If you lurk, please come out, I am going to save this to my favorites again just in case!
