Edited Thanks to Helen :)

1. There is a complete BAN on all numbers.
No numbers that refer to eating disordered behaviour or body size/shape will be allowed. This includes BMI, Weight, Calories, as well as numbers such as amount of purges, binges, laxatives taken, or days fasted.

The number aspect is only a small part of what an eating disorder is, and to move the board into a more positive spectrum of the disorder, we want to take the emphasis off numbers, and on to emotion.

Whilst numbers are no longer allowed, word categories are.
For example:
* "my weight is alot less than what is "average" for my height""
* "my BMI is considered underweight"
* "I ate heaps more than what is recommened for a daily requirement for someone my age, sex, and height"
* "I purged several times today"
* "i took alot more laxatives than what it says on the box/container" "


Sorry Mark, thought I should let you know so you can edit it without mods needing to. I know you don't have an ED, but I believe everyone has to follow this guideline and it's within the main rules aswell I believe x

Thanks Helen:)

Thanks for the heads up, Helen... I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still learning all the rules and there are lots to keep up with :)

Sorry about the random disappearance. The hubby and I had to run to town. But we are back now.

-snuggles mark- I'm sorry to hear that you are depressed. But, you are so not worthless. You are awesome. You have helped me so much in the short amount of time that I have known you. I lubbles you. -snuggles and squishes more-

You're welcome :)

You're also welcome, it takes time to know them all :) So don't worry too much about it.

Yaaay :P

*Hugs everyone*
I'm home, my family are all still at the pub, but after I broke down crying whilst having a massive panick attack, I gave up and came home with Kirsty (she is my cousin and she has aspergers so also finds crowds hard.)
I just wanna cut now :(

Hugs ya'll
Night ward mate perhaps the fire works will awake me?

*hugs lots and lots* Sorry you cried & had a massive panic attack. Please don't cut Nicole. It's not worth it or worth making yourself feel worse xx

Night Mark, see you in 2011 xxx

*hugs Nicole94* sorry hun. I wish I could make it better. :(

*Hugs Mark* Night hun, Happy new year, speak Next year :P
*Hugs Helen* I can't cut cause Kirsty is here, I suppose thats kinda a good thing, but I still really want to :( What is the point in me being here? I mean, Why put myself through another year of this crap?
