July Challenge - The Binge vs Me

Well this challenge is a challenge with you. The challenge is to 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 on another along the way. Please feel free to share you 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.
Check in often. The more you check and share the better you will do for the month. So are you in?

I'm trying to break the connection between stress and boredom and binge eating.
The last huge binge I had was 2 weeks ago at the command of my grandmother. well it was her funeral...
But I've eaten clean all week. So today, I'm good.
I won

Not the best nutrition day for me, but not a binge day either despite an emotional struggle. I called on a few MFP friends early in the day to let them know this day felt like a challenge, and their words of encouragement did make a difference in my outlook. (Yay, MFP friends!)

I found this group awhile back and read it for support all the time. This challenge was calling to me so I had to make it my first post
Yesterday for the first time in a very long time I did not binge. So, I can honestly say:
Me - 1
The Binge - 1 (sunday was not such a success!)0 -
Welcome to all of the newbies! :flowerforyou:0

Please note I have posted a monthly conversation thread for us: See link below and please share because we are not alone in this struggle with binge eating:

(I started eating something I eat almost every day, but instead of portioning it out as usual, I kept the bag near me. A little too near me, apparently. *sigh* Lesson noted.)0 -

The heat has really upset my appetite, so it is easy not to binge when you don't even want to eat. However I should give myself more credit than that because I have been working really hard on emotions the past 3 days. It has been a really rough few days for me. Lots of anger and guilt. I described myself as feeling like a dragon. I asked my Mom, "How do you tame a dragon?" - She says, "You feed it." DAMN!! Although it was really kinda funny because of food being my issue- gotta love irony. She reads fantasy novels and also said you can oil dragons - so maybe it is time for a massage. 0 -
