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 2016:
Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 0
The Binge - 0

DBF is: days binge free.
My hope for you is that you let go of the guilt and feelings self-hatred or disappointment from yesterday's binge. Today is new and any step in self awareness is a win and a step toward stronger days. We are all here because we know the struggle and have all experienced it in our own ways. Bad days happen to all of us. What has truly helped me, is letting go of the guilt when it happens and having this group for support. Hang in there. It will get better with support and determination. You got this!1 -

mae918: Thank you for the encouragement/advice... I need to learn to let go of that guilt, for sure... I'm not going to count my 'streak', days without bingeing, DBF, because I feel like if I did my mind would just use it as a way to discourage me.
I'm also going to add "not sure: (insert number here)"... because there's this gray area I go through where I overeat, but it's not truly a binge. But obviously it's not good either; it's still part of my BED. So I'm just not going to count that number in the end, obviously.
