Welcome February!
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 2020:
Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 0
The Binge - 0

DBF stands for days binge free, meaning how many days in a row you are binge free.

Well I gave the binge a good run for it's money but it got me yesterday. I know what the triggers were (poor sleep quality & not planning meals ahead), just need to plan better for them in future

Way to recognize those triggers! I have no clue what mine are yet. I'm pretty sure 17 days is my longest streak ever.0 -

It's looking pretty even. Lost first three days of February, did pretty well last three. And I'm so far so good today.0 -
I'm too far gone to even count how many binges I've had this month now. I desperately want to binge right now and it's not out of hunger. I'm not hungry. I just want to hand over fist binge on sugar. It's an addiction.0

Being extra tired is a trigger for me, too. Glad you are able to recognize what triggers you so you can conquer it in the future.1
