Men Get Eating Disorders Too
Nick & Sarah’s Advent Calendar Challenge!

Nick Watts from MGEDT and Sarah Fullagar from Body Gossip bring you yet another challenge!

You may remember Nick and Sarah took to the streets in the summer spending seven days getting as many photo’s of people wearing the MGEDT charity band as possible!

Well this time they bring you an even more fun project:

This year the countdown to Christmas will not only be marked by the tiny piece of chocolate hiding behind that cardboard door- oh no! Nick and I have something far more exciting up our sleeves for you.

We out our heads together and compiled a list of 23 body image topics which we will be quizzing the public about over the next 23 days. Their responses will be caught on film and uploaded to our challenge blog each day (or every day we manage to get one!) then on Christmas eve, Nick and I will post a video of our experiences throughout the challenge. (We did contemplate doing the final video on Christmas day but concluded we would be far too busy eating, drinking and generally being merry.)

As always we want to hear from you too.  We’ve added our list of different body image subjects below, along with the days we’ll be chatting about each of them. So if you’ve got something to say then get involved! Film a clip of yourself talking about the topic and send it in to us.
