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

I am upping my calories as I go into maintenance. For about a year and a half I averaged 1200, lower some months. Now I am up to 1600 and sometimes eating that much makes me feel like I have binged, stuffed. Despite not bingeing in a year and a half I still feel the urge to. It can be hard some times to stop after eating what I plan, but I am doing it.0 -

Change in exercise has me snacking a bit more. Yesterday's binge wasn't too bad calorie wise, I am trying not to keep calorific stuff in, which is helping.

Yesterday was a good day, no binge and no strong urges to battle. However I always have that nagging feeling that I should eat more, particularly when I finish a meal. It never feels like enough at the time, a few minutes later I may feel full, but stopping can be hard. I suspect that will always be true, I am just trying to figure out how to live with it. I know a binge is never more than 5 minutes away.

No binge yesterday! I know this sounds easy to people who do not understand, but it it is not. A year and a half without a binge and I still struggle with it almost every day. I think I always will.

Discovery, good for you!
Lamlam, just focus on today, adding another binge free day is a lot more important that what happened yesterday. You can do this!
