Well this challenge is a challenge with yourself. The challenge is for you to win in the fight against "The Binge". Many of us struggle with binging and a few of us have found that making "The Binge" a person has helped us fight the emotions or urge to binge.
The objective of the challenge is to have more days for you (Me) than the "The Binge".
When you have a day you do not succumb to binge urges or binge give yourself (ME) a point. When you give in to the urge to binge you give 'The Binge" a point. No beating yourself up about it because tomorrow is another day. Honesty with yourself is crucial for it to help you and others.
So we keep score with ourselves the whole month. We encourage each other along the way. Please feel free to share your ups, downs, successes, struggles, etc. You will find you are not alone. See below for format. Feel free to use it or use your own format. This Challenge keeps you mindful of binging and the daily support and accountability helps also.
Check in often. The more you check and share the better you will do for the month. So are you in? You are stronger than “The Binge.” One day at a time.
Current month 2017:
Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 0
The Binge - 0

Yay! I've been away and busy with my move, so I haven't been tracking like I should. But I am ready to start August strong! Good luck, everyone!5

I've been struggling in the vicious "binging-restricting" cycle for over 10 yrs. Just yesterday I talked to my husband through it for the first time in years and I felt so relieved. Breaking the mindset is hard, but I'm so glad I find this support group in which we can share and encourage each other along the way. Thank you everyone, good luck!6
