Day 60 - Wow, Two Months!

Good morning lovelies!
I cannot believe we are halfway through our week already!
Today marks two months since the start of this blog.
I wish I could have posted every single day, but with me being out of the country on a cruise in May, that could not happen. :(
I have made so many amazing new friends here, it is unbelievable.
This community is the best one I have ever been a part of.
The support I have received (and given!) here is just incredible.
Everyone here genuinely believes in you, and they are always willing to leave you notes of encouragement and hope, every single day.
That, my dears, is why I have not given up.
Because of you.
I have learned so many things here.
The most important things are that everyone has bad days; they happen, they are normal, they are a fact of life.
When you have a bad day, you cannot dwell on it and use it as an excuse to give up.
You have to use it as motivation to turn your attitude around and work even harder!
Another thing I learned is that positivity is crucial.
If you do not have a positive attitude toward life, you will not be able to go anywhere.
All you will do is dwell on the negative, which will draw you deeper and deeper into a hole.
Which is why I try so hard every day to be a positive example for all of you, in the hopes that maybe it will rub off, and help you gain an attitude that will inspire you to not only reach your goals, but, in the words of the lovely Camille "to make them your bitch"!
Every day is a new chance.
A new chance to try harder, a new chance to spread positivity, a new chance to say, "Hey, I believe in you, and I KNOW you can do this!"
Seize that opportunity like it is the last one you will ever get.
You only get one life, and it is what you make of it.
So make it something worth living!
Stay positive, stay beautiful! <3

**EDIT 1:23 pm**: In a challenge set forth by Camille, I have gone out and found new ED blogs to support and comment on! I am very excited indeed! Here is the list:

Dragonfly
Echo
Merla
Sofia
Jessie
Kaitlin
Kes [who has been following me for a while, but I never knew she had a blog 'til now, so that is why she is on this list, too!]

Go leave these lovelies a comment; I know they could use your support!! :)

**EDIT 7:37 pm** I had to share this before I forgot! We were eating dinner and my mom had already had 3/4 of a huge salad with peppers and pepperoni and cheese and ham in it, and she reaches for two slices of pizza. I was like, "You are really going to eat all that after you had that huge salad?" She said, "Oh, yeah, because I have an eating disorder, you know." My heart literally stopped. I thought she was going to say something about my eating habits, how she had caught on to my ED-NOS. But no, she started talking about compulsive overeating instead. Close call, much?
