EDAW Day 1: Challenging ourselves
In honor of the first day of Eating Disorder Awareness Week, let's each commit to one small healthy step - you can share your step / personal challenge for the week in this thread and let us know throughout the week how it goes!
And if you're feeling inspired, share your personal challenge in the feed, too, with our hashtags #EDSupport #EDWarriors #EDAW
This Eating Disorder Awareness Week, I'm committing to...
Tagging people who indicated interest in joining the ED team!

This Eating Disorder Awareness Week, I'm challenging myself to maintain eating a healthy amount on the weekend even though it's busy and out of my normal habits!
Some other ideas:
- Trying a fear food
- Preparing a meal
- Asking someone for support
- Trying a new coping mechanism
- Researching recovery options
- Avoiding ED behaviors for one of your tougher days
This Eating Disorder Awareness Week, I'm committing to... trying to get back on track with meal planning with eating atleast 2 times a day after being sick all of last week.
@Autismaunt14 - Awesome goal! It's not easy to get back on track after being sick, but I believe in you!
@Anomalia
thanks
@Autismaunt14 - How did it go this week? Were you able to stick to the goal?
@Anomalia
Thanks for checking, I did 1st half of week but the end of the week was VERY hard as a family, we had 2 losses.
@Autismaunt14 - I'm really sorry to hear about your losses - that makes it much harder to stick to the other goals, but I'm proud of you for keeping going through the first half of the week and I hope that you are able to take care of yourself and get the support you need right now.
@Anomalia
Thanks im trying, normally would shut down, n trying very hard not to do that.
@Autismaunt14 I'm so sorry to hear about your losses 
I know it's difficult to stick to goals and focus on your well-being when things like this happen, it's so understandable. You're very strong, and I hope that you can have strong support through this difficult time. Try your best to take care of yourself when you can, and take your time with this. I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts 
@TaranWanderer
thanks
This Eating Disorder Awareness Week, I'm committing to... eating a healthy amount of food for each meal, and try intuitive eating.
@paattym1 - That's a fantastic goal! Good luck!
@paattym1 - How did it go? What did you think about intuitive eating?
This Eating Disorder Awareness Week, I'm committing to: focussing on the parts of my body that I view positively 
@TaranWanderer - Love it! Good luck!
@TaranWanderer - How did the goal go this week? Do you feel like you were able to keep that focus?
@Anomalia I think I did! I feel like last week was a pretty rough one, but overall I stayed positive towards myself and this week I'm feeling much better!
@TaranWanderer - That's fantastic! Well done, and I hope that feeling sticks around and this helps a new habit set :)
