Personal Best Challenge
Lack of self-esteem and anxiety are very common amongst young people and can sometimes lead to other mental health issues.
The My Personal Best Challenge will enable you to celebrate your personal achievements and as a result increase your self-esteem and confidence; whether it’s making a new friend, speaking aloud in a classroom or at work, or running a marathon – your challenges are personal and no matter how small, deserve celebration and recognition when they are achieved.

Make plan for weekend
My boyfriend is out of town all weekend so I need to make some awesome weekend plans to keep me from panicking about having lots of unstructured time.
Self care activities :)
Even though I felt like giving in to harmful behaviours, I focussed on self-care activities instead: went out for a coffee, called a friend, did some mindfulness meditation
Make the most of therapy session
I've found it difficult to motivate myself to be proactive over the last few weeks and I really want to make the most of my last few sessions - try to go in with an idea of what I'd like to achieve.
Do healthy exercise twice this week
I've started a body image group programme where one of the homework exercises is to start exercising for health, mental health
Complete mindfulness programme
So many people have recommended mindfulness as an awesome way to relax, beat depression, reduce anxiety and generally live a more fulfilling life, so it's something I'd love to try for myself :)
To go a month without selfharming
Up to my full meal plan
Added the last thing I need to add to be on my complete meal plan: dessert after dinner! No very happy about it at all, but I proved I could do it ! (now I just have to get through supper ;-))
be happier with myself
I have always been very low in confidence although I have been through alot in my life. I want to believe in myself and believe that I'm a worthy person
went cycling
I made myself go. Feeling great
To enjoy my birthday meal.
After a few more positive days I decided this morning that I wanted to be able to enjoy my birthday without ED thoughts taking over. I have had a lovely day and have managed to not let the ED thoughts win. I've eaten a lot more than I have been eating and feel proud that I've enjoyed my bday without constantly thinking of food and feeling guilty x
went for a walk
Finallt got myself to go out into the world. Didn't feel as bad as I thought.
Said no to anorexia for once
I started calorie counting this morning, and was going to go for the breakfast with the least. I shut out the thoughts and ate something I wanted to eat rather than the thing I considered 'healthiest'. And it tasted really good ;-)
ate 3 healthy meals
i have stuck to my meal plan all day, and didnt binge when i had a few sweets, i felt guilty but stopped and watched some tv instead.
