Me vs. The Binge - October Challenge

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.
So 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 accountiability 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 The Binge. One day at a time.
Current month 2014:
Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 0
The Binge - 0
***** ATTENTION *****
This request is not meant to offend anyone. I am requesting that people please refrain from mentioning specific foods on this particular binge thread. This is what is used in most therapy groups for BED. When I was in BED therapy in 2011 we were not allowed to mention specific foods. It could lead others to think about foods that they otherwise would not think of and can trigger binges for others. Hope this makes sense.
Again this request is not meant to offend. It is requested as a means of support and consideration for others using this thread. Please note this request is for this thread only and not for other threads within the BE Support Group.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Molly

Darn it! I was doing well and then my grandmother brought me my binge food as a treat. Just ended up throwing the rest of the day away with that. Aiming a bit higher today.0 -

Ate lots of junk today due to my son's 6th birthday (cupcakes, dinner out, scones for breakfast) but it didn't slide me into a binge. For me there is a huge difference.0 -
I have another personal battle that I face daily. Although not food related, it is just as damaging and just as challenging to overcome.
I have to do something about it, and hope that the accountability of this thread will help me beat it.
Going forward I will post the numbers with my other post; but I have to start changing right now so here are the details for October so far.

Hi guys, I just had the worst binge of the year (possibly the worst I've had ever) today and I really feel so lousy right now. I found this group and was hoping for some motivation. As reluctant as I am to do it, I'm going to count starting from today's binge, so that I remind myself of this feeling and how I never want to feel this way again!
Really admire everyone here who have beaten the binge so many times this month!
