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.

    Hi Mollie, thanks for the welcome! I'm in! September was not too good for me. I will check in every day, most likely in the afternoon because that's when I struggle the most. So far so good for me today, but that could be because yesterday was not good but who cares, I'll take it. :smile:

    So, here goes!

    Hi ladies,
    I'm going to do my best to be accountable and to avoid binging as much as I can. Today the binge has won but tomorrow will be a new day! I have a lot on my plate lately and could really use the support.

    September was pretty horrible for me. Tried to up my cals and it just led to losing control. I need to learn how to relax and go over my cals by a couple of hundred, rather than losing control and going over by a few thousand.

    In October I’m taking control, allowing myself to CONSCIOUSLY over-eat but stopping before binging.

    Hi everyone, had a good binge-free day yesterday and so far today but I am feeling the urge to binge, or at least eat more even though I'm not hungry. I know why and I'm doing my best to work through it. I do not want the binge monster to win today!!

    Thanks guys!!
