November 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.
September 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 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

Was a hundred or so over goal and I will admit I did overeat at dinner but it wasn't a binge. If it was, I would've bought binge foods when I was at the grocery store. But I do think I would've kept eating if I wasn't doing this again...so maybe this will be helpful for me! 0 -

I'm really hoping that that 1 point stays. It's the worst binge that I've had in awhile, but today is a new day. This is a great challenge by the way! Thank you!0 -

It's interesting to see my patterns from last year. (I was on vacation in Europe in july-august so I didn't track). Again, my goal this month is less than four! I have a cold right now and my senses are off which occasionally makes me eat more to compensate. Not this time : )0 -
