Welcome!
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

Unneccessarily ate 2 cereal bowls of tortilla chips (around 120g) before dinner yesterday. Wasn't out of hunger or stress, so perhaps need to make more of an effort to implement my toolbox of alternatives for boredom.

So I binged last night. The first binge in a long time. I felt the trigger, staying up late to watch tv, annoyed at the days events, trying to unwind but feeling so antsy. That same day I also reached my new lowest weight on the scale. Now I’m up 2 pounds, I stayed gluten free to avoid an immune system response, but I still have allergies this morning. 🤔 oh well. Today is another day and I’ll try not to sabotage myself. I could have drank more water. I could have exercised during my show if I felt antsy. I could also have just gone to bed. There are always other options, just gotta make better choices and stay away from the kitchen at nighttime🤦🏼♀️ Thanks for listening guys.2

Was camping at the weekend so food intake has been up and down a bit over the weekend, but suspect it balanced out. Will see when I fill in my spreadsheet.

Had a binge yesterday for the first time in a very long while. I was happy to get back up from it today and be confident that I am still on a healthy journey.1 -
