That's part of the purpose of living...to figure it out along the way. To try different things, try different identities, and see what fits you best.<br /><br />A big part of my recovery is defining my passions and interests. What I enjoy, what I don't enjoy, what turns my brain on and fascinates me. Its a process. A fun one. There are so many things out there waiting to be enjoyed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-19496948354588450682009-05-15T01:34:00.000+01:002009-05-15T01:34:00.000+01:00God, I loved this post!

That's a great affirmation too - all we can do is live for today. Live in the moment. Do everything we can to enjoy the time we have on this earth. <br />Love you, stay strong, <br />Lexilexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993049069241555759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-55036417696933173432009-05-14T22:18:00.000+01:002009-05-14T22:18:00.000+01:00hey sweets~

I also think recovery has to be for recovery's sake than for a person or a place. Now you are fighting for health, and not fighting for NY. Just keep fighting and I know you can do it. <br /><br />Take Care!Sheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556757686360954033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-21548097281155364362009-05-14T22:07:00.000+01:002009-05-14T22:07:00.000+01:00Hey girl,

Just the fact that you can look at it objectively, see your mistakes from the past and learn from them and move on is great. You are amazing girl and I know you can do anything that you set your mind to!<br /><br />Hope your week is going well <333Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103710453565529801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-41382208331799542232009-05-14T21:54:00.000+01:002009-05-14T21:54:00.000+01:00Yay! So glad you're feeling better today. Sometime...Yay! So glad you're feeling better today. Sometimes getting dressed is half the battle, I know that when I wallow in my depression and only wear sweatpants or baggy clothes I feel so much worse! Putting on a cute dress and a smile works wonders.<br /><br />All your food looks yummy! I know what you mean about the expiration dates...I hate throwing away food but I'm terrified of getting sick from old food too! I honestly think that the "best by" dates on shelf-stable foods like bars, cereal, etc. is more about the TASTE and texture (so it won't be stale) than about it going bad and making you sick. One more day/month of a bar isn't going to magically sprout food-poisoning bacteria, but it might not be as yummy as a "fresher" bar.<br /><br />Oh, and sorry I forgot to tell you what a bolani is!! I'm in love with them! I posted about them a few months back: http://moretolifethanlettuce.blogspot.com/2009/03/busy-bee.html<br /><br />They're basically thin lavash bread filled with relatively healthy stuff like pumpkin, potato, lentil, or spinach. They're spiced up really nicely and are from the Farmer's Market (though they started selling them at local Whole Foods recently.)<br /><br />COME VISIT me and you can try some :)Stef (More to Life Than Lettuce)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09354717825139158982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-20877632703495339232009-05-14T20:11:00.000+01:002009-05-14T20:11:00.000+01:00so proud of you...i really am...you can do it this...so proud of you...i really am...you can do it this time i know it xxxxxxxxxdancelikenooneiswatchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351673504055637471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-21171114664364070812009-05-14T18:38:00.000+01:002009-05-14T18:38:00.000+01:00You have the most interesting foods.

For your LIFE. It's harder, yes, but on the long run, it's so much more worth it. You've got your whole life ahead of you - not just some short-term goal that may come and pass eventually.<br /><br />As for putting on the happy face - I'm a huge believer in "fake it til you make it."

But that's not a good idea because whatever the goal is might fall through, as you well know. It's definitely harder, but doing it for no other reason than because <I>you deserve a better life than this</I> makes it a lot more likely to "last."<br /><br />I totally live on the edge when it comes to use-by dates!! Well, not with perishables like milk or whatnot, but if it's shelf-stable and seems okay, it's all fair game. :p Hasn't killed me yet, clearly!!
