Who's up for a challenge?

My friend Sian and I were talking the other day about body confidence, and she mentioned an exercise she had to guide some young teens recovering from anorexia through during a youth counselling course. I thought that this challenge would benefit us all, and help us feel better about the skin we're in.

The challenge is this:

1. Buy a diary, date book or something to keep a record in.
2. Everyday write one positive compliment to yourself.

That's it. That is all you have to do. If you can manage more than one then write as many as you like. You might find that it's really hard at first, but the idea is it gets easier and easier, and on those days that you really feel low, or upset, or you're maybe having a 'fat day', get out your book and have a look at all the wonderful things you have said about yourself.

I'm going to give it a go and see if it works, I would love to hear from those who do the same!
