March 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.
Current month 2015:
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

Yesterday was not as terrible as some of my previous binges but I still feel bloated and awful this morning. So disappointing.0 -

Probably one of the worst binges to date. Glad I found this today to (hopefully) help me set out on a healthier path.0 -

Been awhile since I've been here not that my eating has been any better since I was here. Current struggles include having a 5w baby affecting my sleep and food choice, and treats we've been bribing my toddler to potty train with.0 -

As of now, I am doing well in terms of bingeing and finding balance in my life. However yesterday, I went to my doctor and we reviewed my bloodwork. My cholesterol is high again, which is unacceptable for a 23 year old. She thinks there is a tiny bit of hereditary influence since all my other numbers are fine and I'm just a touch overweight but this was still upsetting. This time last year I had basically overcome the binge beast and my blood work was perfect! Now that I've been struggling again my cholesterol is high. I know I shouldn't be too disheartened because cholesterol levels are reflective of eating over a several month span, and I've at least decreased my amount of bingeing. I guess the only thing to do now is to keep moving forward, keep improving myself, and hope the numbers go back down for next year!0 -

I do something similar - I have a calendar on the fridge. Green is for good days, Red is for Binge days. Yellow is for days I overeat - but dont by medical definition binge. It's a great idea for a visual.

I love these ideas
I went way over in calories yesterday but had planned to enjoy a delicious date meal with hubby so I don't assign that binge status at all. It was completely controlled, no guilt.

Brand new here as of today. I think the idea of this thread as accountability will help me a ton! Thank you!
So far for March...

Had the strongest binge urge I've had in almost a month, but there wasn't any food around thankfully.0
