February Challenge - Me vs. The Binge

Welcome!!
Well this challenge is a challenge with youself. 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. 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.
February 2013:
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 thearphy groups for BED. When I was in BED therphy 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.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Mollie

November: 9 binges, December: 9 binges, January: 4 binges. Progress! Aiming to get over this for the long term. There IS a difference between over-eating and bingeing. A large meal is okay, but out of control & emotional eating is not.

January was a binge filled month for me. I'd love to try this for February. Although I'm also a little terrified to keep track.

Though admittedly, I ate rather a lot of chocolate before bed, due to staying up too late and having an immense craving for it, for some reason. But I wasn't stuffing it in as in during a binge.0 -

I would list my goals.... but expectations always trigger me to binge. When I tell myself I'll do it, I end up sabotaging myself.
I just want to get through this month making it as balanced as I can.

I've almost finished reading _Brain over Binge_, and I hope to post about it in our book thread soon. The author's recovery from BED ultimately took an approach that helped her to drastically reduce binging, and then eventually helped her to completely stop binging. Parts of her story & method of recovery do click with me. I've only binged one time since starting the book, and not at all since Monday in spite of several persistent urges. Check out the description @ amazon if interestedhttp://goo.gl/g38vG 0 -

My plan is to upload good days and binge days every night before sleep, so I don't have an opportunity to dig my way through the pantry!
Still the morning...and its already a bit of a struggle.
I just have to remember that I don't "need" food right now at this moment. I can wait at least a half hour, and hopefully the urge passes.
Good luck everyone!0 -
