June Challenge - Me vs. The Binge
Hey y'all. I copied the intro from what IsMollyReallyHungry wrote since it's the 3rd of the month and we've been really wanting to get started!
~Mae~
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 2015:
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

but i did log (most) the binge day - came in at 2550 calories (goal 1570) I was on track til 8 PM then basically ate everything snackish I could find.
Strange thing was it was tuesday when I recorded my lowest weight since the 80s and got a stack of compliments at work. No idea what happened - it just did.0 -

This week I stopped restricting for a while. I found that I am kind of craving certain foods again and in certain amounts. Sometimes, I go over my calorie goal, sometimes not. Like I said, I stopped restricting to give way to cravings but avoiding binging at the same time. I think what leads to my binges sometimes is if I try to restrict so much while my body is crying for some certain food so I kind of let loose a little. I felt victory everytime I stopped when I think I am already almost full or full enough. I was also only allowing myself to eat what I want when I am already having hunger cues. It felt good not feeling my stomach hurting and almost bursting from binging. My weightloss can wait. I just don't want a binge relapse when I am doing so good these past few weeks. I did weigh myself after each morning though and I am glad to say I am maintaining. I am back to restricting now though that my cravings have calmed finally
Good luck guys!0 -

Well, we have fallen off together! Totally binged today and, like you, I had just reached my lowest weight since I don't even know when, and I seemingly had no reason to binge. Ugh

I've done that before! Something about weighing in and seeing a new low weight can be very triggering for me. . .but I also get triggered by gains. I'm sort of on the fence as to whether I should weigh myself at all! I worry though that if i stopped I'd balloon up super fast. . .Pudding1980 wrote: »JonathanP1962 wrote: »me : 2

I weigh daily because not weighing does not work well for me, to easy to get in self denial. This does not work for everyone and it is definitely not recommended in BED programs but for me it is a must and I feel everyone of us has to do and find what works for them. it takes no time for me to go out of control and gain 10 pounds so in order to prevent that I weigh most days and make myself never miss 2 days if I take a 1 day pass. Keep up the good work!
