Me vs. The Binge - December Challenge

Welcome!!
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.
So 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 accountiability 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 The Binge. One day at a time.
Current month 2014:
Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 0
The Binge - 0
***** ATTENTION *****
This request is not meant to offend anyone. I am requesting that people please refrain from mentioning specific foods on this particular binge thread. This is what is used in most therapy groups for BED. When I was in BED therapy in 2011 we were not allowed to mention specific foods. It could lead others to think about foods that they otherwise would not think of and can trigger binges for others. Hope this makes sense.
Again this request is not meant to offend. It is requested as a means of support and consideration for others using this thread. Please note this request is for this thread only and not for other threads within the BE Support Group.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Molly

Ok so it's been a while since I took part in these monthly challenges but I need to get back into it to keep myself accountable. Bingeing has gotten way out of control lately. Maybe having some extra support will help me stay on track.

Overate as I baked a ton of home made holiday treats today but I logged it all and didn't binge. That's a win for me.0 -

I have to be honest, I almost blew it on only the 2nd day of the month yesterday. I'm still not sure what exactly triggered it, stress, frustration over our very messy apartment and the fact that my husband doesn't seem to mind one bit, or do annnnything about it, or just really tired. Once I was in bed and he left with the dogs, I almost got up to eat all that frustration. Instead, I ended up falling asleep before I could do anything. Thank goodness I was so exhausted...I guess.

Seems like December 2nd was a tough day for quite a few of us! I overate yesterday morning. I was feeling sad and anxious, and ate a bunch of sweets as a result. I thought I was going to blow it, but I managed to stop before it got too bad and the rest of the day went fine.0 -

Another tough day to battle. Overate, but was not in that binge state of mind. Very close call though.
On another note, I drank wayyyyy too much. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, I'm immediately regretful. Water water water water, and more water today.
