I want to share a particularly touching message that my best friend sent me on Facebook. I couldn't help myself from crying when I read this and it just motivates me even more to stay on track:
" I am so proud of you. I read through everything and I was blown away. I've known you since the summer after 7th grade, remember those days? When we got excited over buying fake uggs and you got scared when Alex or Kayla chased you up the stairs? some of my favorite memories have been with you. i remember going to camp shane with you too, i think that sealed the deal of our friendship (being friends with all those crazy dramatic fat girls haha) but anyway, high school was weird for us + i think that once we got to college we got so much closer. i have to say i haven't been more thankful for a relationship like ours. we can go a while without talking + i feel like when i talk to you it's like no time went by at all since the last time we spoke. you completely inspire me Danielle, and i'm not talking out of my ass on that one...you have changed so much in the past year (not in a bad way) and it makes me so happy to see you so completely happy and loving your life.
you deserve it. i watched you struggle a lot with bullies, your weight, your parents divorce...but you came out so much stronger and it's amazing to see how strong you are. i've struggled a lot this year, but i think i'm finally on the upswing a bit. and a lot of it has to do with your simple words of wisdom, in complete seriousness. when i visited you in august, you left me with some of the best pieces of advice i had ever gotten. you stood by me through a lot, and i'm so glad you did. your blog is incredible, and it really inspired me to start one...it seems like it's really helping you through the 100 days of unprocessed foods challenge (which i love!). i have it bookmarked + i'm going to read it all the time. i love you so much + i'm so glad that you're doing so well. you deserve it all Danielle, you've grown up so much and you're so happy. i love it and i love you. always remember i'm here for you, i will always listen + never judge. but, i mean we've been friends for 6 years now, you should know that ;)
The most incredible compliment you can receive is that you inspire someone. Ultimately, my goal is to make a difference in the lives of people, just as you all have impacted me. I am so glad that I'm inspiring people with this blog. You all inspire me to keep with it. Again, thank you to my friends and family for supporting me and loving me unconditionally, I feel really lucky.
