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

    Thanks @Nevadaden :)
    I managed to completely avoid a really bad food purchase that I definitely think I would have binged on if it was in my house. Happy with myself for that. It's probably been a couple months since I have been able to do that without a struggle.

    Making a choice not to even go grocery shopping tonight because I know I will make bad choices. I am really happy that I'm tracking my meals again and it's making a HUGE difference for me. BUT, I still can't have my favorite junk food around. I have no ability to resist them if they're in the house and evenings are when I'm most likely to make those purchases.

    Hey everyone,

    I haven’t been around in a while, at least a year I think. Life just got in the way and, unfortunately, my binge eating has become a problem again. Time to get back in here:

    Made really healthy choices today & trying new foods so I don't get bored. Going to bed a little hungry tonight but I can live with that. Another good day :)
