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

    Got into a bad car accident this weekend. Mostly okay physically, but dealing with some major crap realted to it, so won't be on MFP much. I'm hoping to continue tracking my binging progress here for a few reasons, but probably won't be very responsive/involved for a while. If anyone has any good vibes to send this way, I could really use them :(

    @Moxie42 - Mad props that you've gotten this far past the accident WITHOUT BINGING. So proud of you, no matter what happens from this moment forward (so no pressure!). That's some major awesome right there. Get better soon and kick some insurance/other people butts!

    I thought I was back on track. But the urge to binge voice was very loud this afternoon.

    For some reason I can always justify a BINGE day. I believe it goes back to the first great weight control program that I tried Body For Life. But now I don't feel that way cheat days are just part of this bad habit. And doesn't help a guy with a BINGE eating disorder. It does help a guy trying to rewire a bad habit.
