Me Vs the Binge -- December 2016 Challenge

Options
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.

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 accountability 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 Binge.” One day at a time.

Current month 2016:
Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 0
The Binge - 0

    Streak: 5

    The BINGE was working its magic against me last night. Had to remind that voice I had a 59 day streak against it last time. But boy was the voice strong with only 5 days into this one. Luckily because it was Dec 1st and a new month I was able to draw from my past battles. Lets all have a strong month as we end 2016.

    Streak 2

    I ended November with a binge on a very stressful day, so that is why my streak has been reset to 2.
