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

    I'm shooting to do 2 or less binges (binges, not binge days...ugh, once I start I tend to keep going).

    I managed that in February, but March is 3 days longer.

    Not a good day. Lots of triggers and I didn't make great decisions either. Today will be better.

    Tough evening but had some controlled extra which I made sure didn’t turn into a binge.

    Well, after a perfect February, had a minor setback last night. I say minor because in the end, it wasn't an extreme quantity of the food that I ate... but it was the reasons I ate (stress relief, not hunger) and that I did so knowing I didn't need to. Even debated internally on whether it was a "binge" or not, but I generally realize if I'm having that debate, it was a binge.

    Lots of urges and one close call, but so far no binge this month.

    Tough evening but decided I’d do a workout and have a black coffee, thought if I was hungry afterward that I’d have something but got to the end and couldn’t be bothered to make anything.

    Really tough evening, had dinner later and because I was hungry I eat quickly, then desert and then some cereal but i was determined not to keep eating, so made sure I stopped and did my strength exercise instead to try and distract myself, high on carbs for the day but didn't overeat.
