    :noway: Uh - oh. This is the first time since I've been recording on these binge challenges (which is a long time! Over 2 years I believe.) that the awful Binge has had a higher score than me at this time of the month.

    This challenge is so good for me because it always reminds me that "it isn't every day". No matter how I like to catastrophize it, the numbers don't lie. And I try so hard to make it less than half the days.

    I have got to turn this around!

    I was having a very great day, but then recieved some very bad news about a family member and shut down. Seems like I'm fighting a losing battle here. I take a couple of steps forward, and then get pushed right back down the stairs. Nothing to do but keep on trying. There's still a chance for me to get my score higher than TB's by the end of the month.

    Sorry to hear about the bad news but you can definitely beat the Binge. Keep going!

    Thanks for posting this! I always think I'm horrible for having so many binge days but yes, at least it's not every day.

    Another decent day for me. I have had less of an urge to binge again since increasing my calorie intake.

    3 day streak going for me. Went over my calorie goals today. The bulk of my calories came from lunch, but we had lunch out and I wouldn't consider it a binge per say.

    Does anyone have experience with enablers? My significant other loves that I'm curvy and always tries to get me to eat a little bit more. It's really triggering to be honest. He's a really sweet guy, he just doesn't understand that I like to have complete control over what I shove into my mouth. I think he's starting to understand, but I'm having a hard time expressing myself. Any suggestions?

    George please don't give up! We fall down and we pick ourselves back up. You can do this!

    Greeky just coming here and talking about it is a win in itself in my book. I believe in you! :)

    The Binge: 3

    Merp. Was traveling all weekend so I fell off the wagon for 3 whole days. Oh well. Going to workout like a mo fo this week to make it up! and I guess it wasn't my "classical binge" where I would eat on random days, in my routine. This was me when I was not in my routine. I'm not saying it wasn't bad. But atleast I didn't do it when I was home--which means that when I'm at home (which is like 99% my life hehe) is when I don't binge anymore. I'll have to work on the binge when I'm not in my routine.. hmmm

    the binge 3

    Had 3 binge days over the past two weeks: two were really bad, the other was just a day where I gave up... Hoping to better that ratio in favor of me.

    It's nearly the end of july and I've only just found this. I would love to be helped and help others to stop binging and I like the idea of being honest and acknowledging a binge. I would also like to be friends with a few people on MFP so we can encourage each other's diary entries so if anyone is interested in mentoring me and in return me mentoring them please let me know. My email is minimises@msn.com.

    For now though, Mondays are not good days for me, as are other week nights as my habitual binge habit has returned over the last year and slowly increased in that time. It is most definitely a habit as I don't believe I am that unhappy any more that I need it but the comfort I take in eating is too great. Plus I can't let go of wanting to lose weight so I need to be wary of this. What I want? To loose 1 1/2 stone and to be binge free. Possible? My logical brain says hell yes, my binge brain says no you'll never be free to have a healthy normal relationship with food so you might as well stop trying.

    Month: July
    Day: Monday
    Binge: 2
    Days logged: 0 (starting again tomorrow)
