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.
February 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

Still evading the binge but being home from break has not been good news food wise. I'm pretty sure I've eaten out at least once each day (going to the movies, and restaurants with friends I haven't seen in months). I guess I should just enjoy the week, and as long as no bingeing occurs, that's a win to me!0 -
First ever post although I have been a member for a while now.
Hoping joining this group will help me stay on track and not binge.
I had my biggest binge last night and I feel terrible today, not just physically but mentally too. I feel so ashamed. So here's hoping by logging into this group daily I can stay on track.

Binge: 1
Days Binge-Free: 0
Binges last month: 10 << I CAN beat this!
Goals for this month:
1. Log everything, and log it that day.
Too many times I get into a binge mindset and stop logging. I'll log the next day to see the damage but if I log in the moment, maybe that will lead to mindfulness and help me stop.
2. Additionally, log WHY.
If I start to binge, I will keep logging the food as well as noting my mindset and WHY I am bingeing. I think this will help me gain understanding of my binges, and help me be more mindful of triggers instead of just numbing out.
3. Beat my binge number last month!
Good luck everyone. Remember: It's a new day and I can always choose to be healthy.0
