Me Vs The Binge -- June 2017 Challenge

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

    So sick of the BINGE kicking my *kitten* after a good streak. Sometimes it seems like success is something the BINGE uses against me. Hey Mike your doing so good lets party! I'd use the F* word here to respond to the BINGE but MFP would probably remove me from the LIST. But you guys have been there you know!

    Yes, we all have streaks like that. May was not good for me. Just take one day at a time. We are all in this together.

    At least you had a string of double digits beast-free, @hillmike56. I was trying to hold the line at 5 for the month, but didn't make it. Trying again in June!

    @hillmike56 - I get those same thoughts: "I am doing so well I can afford a binge" "just this once". Hang in there and rebuild your streak.

    I liked the way MFP sanitized my language. Wish they could do the same against my BINGE! The "puppy" won another one last night. Oh yes that helps!

    @lamlam2013 someone shared with me in a message you had a streak of like 300+ days in our battle? I've seen some great ones in my 1/2 of year here now. I guess I'm just hoping at some point a streak becomes a habit that I don't have to constantly think about each and every day!

    Yes, I did! That's how I met my weight loss goal. I've since fallen off the wagon a bit but determined to get a new streak going like that! Remember the battle is one day at a time.
