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 2018:

I didn’t have a good start to September, nor for that matter a good end to August, but checking in, at least for today. We’ll see how the next few days go.

Doing okay so far this month...but, next month, I've got a test that requires me to only drink clear liquids for a day or two... Have any of you guys/gals had to do this? I'm worried about triggering a MAD BINGE.... HUGS to everyone!2

Check in: Feeling hungry today, but I'm sure I have been under eating. Balance is key and I am preparing for a nice solid meal this evening when I get home from work. Wish me luck 2

Welcome to the group! DBF stands for "days binge free." It's a running tally of how many days a row you are binge free. You don't have to do this, but if you want, I find it motivational.0 -
