Welcome!!
Well this challenge is a challenge with youself. The challenge is to 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 on another along the way. Please feel free to share you 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.

Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 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 thearphy groups for BED. When I was in BED therphy 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.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Molly

HI Love MFP and need help with the binge. My issue is when I am bored or alone at home. There is no stopping me on the sugar front. Love that I can make this "me against the binge". I have been doing it since I was a teenager and will go the week all on plan but by the weekend things get crazy. I will check in each day and glad everyone is here for support! After my day yesterday, I am ready to win.

The binge may have won the first day of June but I'm actually quite happy and proud of myself for not going overboard.
Usually I'd think to myself: now that I've started, the day has been ruined and I might as well eat everything I want.
Not this time though! So far today has been a lot better and I hope by the end of it it'll still be binge free.0 -

I think that vacation I took really helped my outlook on eating. I binged bad the first couple of days, then realized that I could have anything I wanted, I don't have to binge. That **** will still be there tomorrow.
I know I gained a few pounds from it, but I know how to take them right back off! And it is worth is if it helped my mental battle with binging for sure!0 -

Overate yesterday but stopped myself. Really doing a good job with the working out. I've realized that running makes me feel better about myself even if I'm not losing weight, I just feel stronger.0 -
