    Meh, got the better of me these past couple days. But dwelling on it gives the Binge too much power, so I'm moving on with my life today :bigsmile:

    Well, I thought I posted here last night, but it seems I didn't.

    Didn't make the most fantastic choices but was only a few calories over my limit. Parents' visit going ok but also stressful in expected and unexpected ways.

    Over my calories again, by 100. Could've been worse. The parental visit is kind of wearing on me. Two days and a wake up to go.

    This has been a good, not perfect, week. I got to the bottom of one thing that was causing me to run to the food for comfort - I had a very bad experience recently with a job. suffice to say that the owners of the company were emotionally abusive. Now whenever I try to fix my resume or apply for a new job, I am up in the kitchen searching through the cupboards for the food that will drown the fear. I told my husband about it - he is working two jobs to make up for my not working - and although there is no resolution, I feel better that he understands me - and he was very supportive:heart: . So, I really haven't felt the desire to binge since then. :drinker:

    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

    Last week was really bad for me. I struggled pretty much every day and even on the days I didn't binge I ate more than I should've. But I've been feeling in control since last Thursday, so I'm hopeful to finish the month on a good note.

    Stressful day . Emotionally draining too. I'm now mad at myself for adding one more problem, a binge. I turn to food so freaking easy.

    Hello! I also introduced myself in a post, but I'm new and am SO THANKFUL to have found this group. It looks active, too...which is just what i need. Please feel free to friend me!

    So far, this is the best I've ever done with binging. I feel like maybe I'm actually getting this down...but I've thought that before. How do I make sure this time it's going to keep going??

    Thanks!
