This is a great thred.
I already get enough calcium as my N stresses about it so much...but well done to everyone who's added it in!
Me too. I tend to have quite a lot of calcium purely because I'm very vain about my teeth and stuff. All my 'safe foods' have calcium in them, like smoothies and yoghurts.
Everyone who has added it in, or has been trying to are doing amazing!
I had a hot chocolate yesterday and will have a yoghurt today.
I will announce the new challenge later today but for now have a good last day

We are all experts at putting ourselves down, declaring ourselves as incompetent, bad, fat, hopeless and so on.... but 99.99999 percent of the time we are far superior than we give ourselves credit for.
It is bloomin hard to change how we feel and think so what I want us to do this week is each day pick one negative thought and change it so we have a positive viewpoint and thought processes associated with it.
Common negative thought - I am fat
Challenge the thought - I may feel fat but realistically I know that my BMI places me in xyz category and so I am not fat.
The only criteria is that you believe what you say each day post your thoughts in here (if triggery hide them) and go for it :)

Okay, I'm going to start this one right away today because I think I need it
Negative thought>>
The following content has been hidden - Reason : Possibly Triggering Negative thought
absolutly need to look unrealistically skinny, that is the only way people will love or care about me, and my ED is the only thing that will get me there. I must be skin and bones, or I am worth nothing.
Positive Change>> I am a very realistic weight for my size, I am curvy and beautiful, and people love my curves. I do not wish to look like the emaciated girls that can hardly stand, I want to be strong and full of glow and life. My ED will not give me that, and if I continue at the rate I am, I am putting my life at risk. I am beautiful just as I am
Like a tree I stand, reaching for the light, gaining strength from the darkness at my roots. I am mangled from the torments of life, but in my uniqueness I am beautiful.
Bulimia has purged my soul. This can't be control.
The following content has been hidden - Reason : Negative
I don't think I can stop the binging and purging and it all seems incredibly difficult and pointless.
Positive thought>>> Deep down I do actually believe I can do this. I have people who care about me who are willing to help me through it. Tomorrow is a new day, and it's going to be ok.
oh dear... this one might be slightly harder.. *tries anyways*

um yeah, mine is jess's O.o
cept minus the underweight part.
but it is 'normal'... and i know logically it wasnt *that* much

The following content has been hidden - Reason : Negativeee
I know that I am overweight for my age and height (bmi prooves that) and I dont deserve to eat anything until I lose weight and if I do eat I must purge.
Positive: I know deep down that fasting/purging is not the way to go about getting healthy so I am going to make myself a nice healthy breakfast when its a more practical hour =]

I only joined yesterday but I've got so much out of it already. This is an amazing site!!! And this challenge is great, so I'm definitely in....
Negative:
"I'm never going to be good enough at anything I do"
Positive:
"I'm good enough"
Sounds simple, but I've never felt good enough, in relationships, in my family, in my work, in my creativity, in my body, in my eating, in the little things, in the big things, etc, on and on and on.....
The following content has been hidden - Reason : Triggering maybe.
I am a waste of space and time and effort unless i can lose weight and be perfect.
Positive: Deep down i know that's rubbish. If someone told me that they think that of themselves i would gladly spend a whole day telling them otherwise. It's not going to get me anywhere thinking like that and i want to get better. I really do. Purging will only make me ill and i'm tired of being ill. I want my life back and i'm not going to give up. Not ever.
positive: people always tell me how great i look and how pretty i am, and they starting to make me see that they are right and i maybe i can start to love myself.
omg i soundlike i have a big head.

" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.

Yeah, last week's challenge wasn't a challenge for me because I normally eat a yoghurt each day.
But this week is sooo hard for me because I think so negative of myself.

I am a stupid cow, a failure and I only get good grades because my profs feel pity for me.
The following content has been hidden - Reason : feel ashamed to write it because I feel overwheening and cannot believe it
truth: Deep down I know that I am quite intelligent and I seem to have kind of luck sometimes when it comes to tests and oral exams.
Oh, I hope that it is O.K. to hide the "truth", too .

I trust my soul. My only goal is just to be. (Rent)

I dont deserve to go to the Dr.
Everyone deserves to go to the Dr. and if nothing is wrong how much better is that :)
