April 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.

Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 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,
Molly

Oh good! I've been waiting for this. I can't believe I've been doing this since November! It helps, so much.
Goals: 2 binges or less...really focusing for none because of this wedding and fitting into a bridesmaids dress on 4/27/13. !00% paleo. but allowing a higher caloric intake once a week.0 -

Ok, I'm not quitting again this month. I've recommitted and am determined to make April good. My pants don't fit like they used to and I'm very uncomfortable.
I've decided to start rewarding myself with non-food related things at the end of a good week. I need a new pair of running shoes and that will be my reward for having a no-binge workweek.

I didn't do a good job of checking in the second half of March. Have been feeling frustrated that weight loss has stalled, even though my binges are almost nonexistent lately, which has been my primary goal. Hoping that regular accountability here helps me all the way round.x
