THE LAUREN CHALLENGE Mood
Thursday, March 5, 2009
Why? Because Lauren thought she was ok, she was on vacation, she had plans, she had dreams, she didn't see the end was near....

Who? Anyone with any ED, ana, mia, endos, BED.... Underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese.... It doesn't matter, eating disorders affect your health regardless

What? Make an appt. TODAY to get up to date blood work and an ECG (electrocardiagram- to check your heart function) Insurance will cover this!

EATING DISORDERS HURT FROM THE INSIDE OUT. And we may not see the damages until its too late. Please. Even if you feel fine, do it for LAUREN.

I made my appointment. Who's with me!???

    Okay, not to be a total b_tch but... did you REALLY know what Lauren was thinking?

    so glad you've made an appointment. even if things turn out to be okay, that does NOT mean you are fine though. don't forget that.

    I wasn't "in lauren's head" of course, but in her journals she constantly said she was "being a hypercondriac" and that she was ok- "it was just the supplement" and stuff like that. She had dreams of being a model, actress and skating again when she got to a healthier weight. She definately wasn't planning on dying on vacation!!! I know that for sure. None of us plan for that. The Lauren Challenge is about being proactive about our health on her behalf. NOT to start a controversy on if I can read minds.

    Jamie, I'm pleased to see you are so strong and determined to put ED to rest and that you want your friends to join the party but some will criticise you only because they don't want to recover and are not where you are on the road to recovery - take care of yourself honeybun.

    I think this is a great idea. Being proactive is the only way to recovery. I am glad to see that you are taking the right steps in the right direction.
