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 2017:
Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 0
The Binge - 0

    I've been making awful choices and totally gained weight last week. So tired of undoing everything good that I do. Also very much in a funk today. An MFP friend passed away, someone who made a huge difference in my life even from the other side of the world. Planning to keep my head down and get through this week without making more bad choices. Just feeling really defeated right now.

    @moxie42 - Sometimes with all the ups, downs, and sucker punches of life, I truly wonder how any of us survive. Just focus on making the better choice where possible, and work through your grief. We know you'll be plugging away again against the insanity sooner or later! (HUGS)

    Thanks, @KnitOrMiss. I fell off the wagon, and was feeling okay about starting over again today, and then that news just shocked me. You're right though- this will pass. At least I don't want to binge- I'm a little surprised but very grateful for that! *hug*

    @Moxie42 - I am sorry for your loss and for your feelings of defeat. That sucks. I am feeling down right now as well. We will get through this. Hang in there.

    Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss! You're going through a hard patch now. We all do. Just take one day at a time. You'll get back to it.

    No bingeing is a great thing! The better food choices will come in time. Congrats on not caving in!
