January Challenge - Me vs. The Binge

Posts: 15,385 Member
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.
January 2014:
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,
Molly

I'm soooooo completely in. I'm new here but excited to find some people struggling with the same things I am.
I have had four consecutive binge free days. Going to keep it going in the new year.

Happy New Year!!
This is perfect timing - I have just realized that I binge eat. I know that sounds stupid - I knew I was doing it (hence the 35 pound weight gain), I just didn't know it had a NAME for it. That is a relief. Not sure if that makes sense...
But anyway, here I go:

Good job for you all who check in with us in December!! I know December is always tough but you all were troppers.
January thru March or April is always a good time for me. Let's put 2013 behind us! On to 2014 everyone!! :drinker:
Excellent work! :flowerforyou:
:flowerforyou: And I want to thank you all for participating too because out of all the groups I am in, this one is most important and critial to my success. I think about and am more mindful of my behaviors. I want to win! We are all winners for just checking in. I think if we were not checking in, it could be worse.
So give yourselves a pat on the back!! We got this!! Hugs!!:flowerforyou:0 -

Thank you so much for actually taking the time to read introduction. We have not had this problem in a while. In the beginning it was a problem. Welcome and I hope you find this check in will help you to be more mindful fo binge eating>I like this concept a lot so I'm in. And I can definitely see the point and benefit of the no specific foods rule.
