    Finishing out the month. In addition to emotional battles, I think I have been struggling this week to fuel my body with healthy foods in abundance in the beginning and the middle of the day and then by the evening I've set myself up for ED behavior.

    I'm ready for June!

    BED - 5


    For me starting in the middle of the month I did pretty good. I do think this thread help me be more mindful of BED. I had a mini binge last night and I gave it to BED because I was not hungry and was eating under duress and binging.

    Ready for June! Thanks you all for hanging in there and supporting each other! We can do this! :flowerforyou:

    What is your goal for June? My goal is to not binge more than 9 days. You can make your goal whatever you want as long as it relates to BED. Like Diane's goal was to log it all in May. Share if you would like to or if not comfortable with sharing or you don't have a goal, so not sweat it. :wink:

    Keep up the good work!:flowerforyou:

    ED - 0


    Please know for me I do not beat myself up when I don't make goals. Goals for me are to push me, keep me mindful and give me something to reach for. If you think that you will be down on yourself IF you do not reach your goal then don't do it. For me if I have 12 binge days I will be fine but I am going to shoot for under 10.

    i'm excited to start june with a clean slate. i'm going to try to make it at LEAST ten days in a row without binging, but my ultimate goal is to be binge free for the entire month.
    good luck, y'all!

    I didn't see this challenge until today and already blew it over the weekend, but I will start the challenge today and take it one day at a time. The whole months sounds overwhelming and a day at a time sounds more manageable to me at this point. So far, so good for today. :smile:

    This thread is getting long - IMO, we should start a new one for the new month, but what do I know.

    I'm going to make the commitment that Diane did - this month, I am committing to finishing my diary no matter what!! I seem to do much better when I do.

    I'm also not counting days. For me, it's not helpful.

    I'm glad to see you all doing so well! Let's have a great Monday!

    Thanks again for helping to hold me accountable. Yes, I will be filling out my diary again every single day for the month of June no matter what. It really did help in May. There were at least 5 times that it was a real struggle to fill it out and I know I would have just said screw it if I hadn't made the goal. My diary is open to my friends. I welcome new friends, especially those who struggle w/ BED.

    Diane :heart:

    I really want to say that I am in. Well, I am in. The binge monster in me is fighting though.
    Ill take it one day at a time.... so TODAY I will not binge. Thats a big step at this point.
    I will check back in tomorrow!


    I am with you!!! We can do this

    You can do it Mary!!! It helps looking at ED as a person because for us it really is. I learned this in an ED program I attended last year and I talk to my ED all the times now because I am stronger than my ED. We are strong than our ED!:flowerforyou:

    That's so awesome. I'm still so hesitant to open mine..even fill it out all the time! I had a horrible night Friday, (June 1st ugh)but then got back on track (over-ate twice, but wasn't out of control).
