How I did it: It wasn't so hard to break myself of the habit of turning the tube on. I didn't hang around in the kitchen so much, I went outside and ran around, gardened, made campfires with friends. Honestly, not sitting around in front of the TV helped me diet better. I didn't eat just because there was food around. It was a great experience. Read how I did it…
cake. live show dvds. all smiles. waiting up till 12:59. the release of a new track. my ipod playing his music all day and all night, it’s still going.
i couldn’t help everyone, and it pained me. but i did focus my attention to one girl and tried to help her, and as far as i know i either succeeded because she stopped posting on the commit suicide page and didn’t say anything about still wanting to commit suicide, or i failed. i don’t think ill ever really know. i think she made it. but i think the important thing is that i tried and the girl was really trying too. and all of you guys doing the same, that’s what’s really important. i think all of you are incredible people for stepping up to help others that are in need and cannot at this time help themselves. you are all wonderful. =]
much love,
laura.
