I was trying to come up with a time to use "contradicting" and nothing came to mind quickly.

You could say that "what you wrote in the second paragraph contradicted what you wrote in the first paragraph" or "what I wrote contradicted the commonly held belief."

How about: "You are aware that if you write that, it will be contradicting what you said back in December, right?"
