September Challenge - Me vs. The Binge

Welcome!!
Well this challenge is a challenge with yourself. The challenge is 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 each other along the way. Please feel free to share your 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.

***** 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 therapy groups for BED. When I was in BED therapy 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

I had a pretty bad binge last night (9/1). First one since July 31st. I am feeling confused about it more than anything else. While it was happening it was quite pleasurable, I had forgotten that part of it. It didn't last long and I didn't feel horrible about myself, I mean it wasn't one of those binges where I trashed the kitchen and stained my shirt. I want to tell myself that it was just because I was hungry, but I think that's a lie. I think I know why but not sure. Oh well, on to making today binge free.0 -

I've watched this thread for a while now (for previous months) and never joined in because I wasn't sure if it would help me or not. Now, at the start of September, I'm thinking what have I got to lose? So I'm joining in this time.

I'm a competitive bowler and I always count my ratio of marks (closed frames) to open frames at the end of each game. I think I'll do something similar with my goal here - at the end of September, I want my ratio of wins to binges to be at least 2. (For those of you non-math people, that means I need at least 20 non-binge days for this month.)
Thanks for letting me get in on this! If any of you want more support (or have more support to offer), please feel free to friend me! I'm also happy to share numbers so we can text if needed (females only though).0 -
Just noticed that last night was the end of my almost week long nightly binge trend. Here's to a new start in September!

I proudly battled the craving for a second helping of dessert tonight, and managed to instead drink a glass of water! No binge for me!
Ahh... progress. :flowerforyou:0 -
I'm so glad this is going on for September. I have been doing great and since I have joined MFP I only have had 2 binge days. Sadly, today was one of them. I just felt so hungry. I tracked all my food but it was definitely over calories. So I'm counting it as a binge day. My goal is to this be the only binge day. I'm training for a 5K and wedding I am going to in October.
