Small actions can change the world. Right now, im just trying to change my world. I am trying to stop cutting, so instead of hiding my scars, I went out on a limb today. Oh yes, i wore a T-shirt today :D It was weird. At first i was pretty aprehensive, and really scared, but then, i just didnt care anymore. Its like everybody knows that i do it now, so its almost like an incentive to stop. Join the T-Shirt Movment! Wear your Short sleeves with pride!

short sleeves aren't a problem for me... I usually cut my legs... shorts are another matter... but I got fat ugly legs so shorts aren't really part of my wardrobe anyways.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
