Me vs. The Binge - July Challenge

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.
Current month 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 and not for other threads within the BE Support Group.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Molly

I'm in too. I'm not setting my sights too high as this month involves a baby shower, my birthday and multiple other summer social events. But, I will come out in top even if the Binge is higher than 0.0

I'm so happy I haven't binged for awhile, but keeping count helps me a lot. I've been feeling blue the last few weeks and I'm afraid I'll succumb again to bingeing. I've been doing well in my balanced diet and I really really don't want to give in again, not ever!!!
thank you all for your support. Like I said I've been feeling anxious and I'm exercising to combat it, but I might need extra support. I'm always here for anyone, feel free to friend me, thanks o much

This is particularly satisfying for me as someone tired to break into my flat and I scared them off but I was left overwhelmed and in need of comfort and usually this is where I binge but I managed to keep it together for like the first time EVER!! Just the rest of the month to go now!! lol!!0 -
