Thanks so much for starting this @EmotionalEater84! Life had been hectic for me the past two weeks, but I'm back in and determined to get my bingeing under control again.3

Not new to the forum but new to this group.
No Formal BED diagnosis but reading up on it and taking all the online questionnaires would suggest I very much do have it.
However finally putting a name to it seems to have had a pretty interesting change to my thought process, or lack there of and giving me a new focus.
So for October i'm at

Welcome! I'm self-diagnosed also, but it's pretty obvious I have a problem. Glad to have you aboard

I had 10 days binge free and then binged tonight. I was not expecting it. I don’t know if it was triggered mostly by emotions or because I had too many carbs. It is probably a combination. Tomorrow is a new day.1 -

I have been struggling the last few days. I think I’m eating too many carbs and not enough protein. Going to increase protein and see if it decreases my urges to binge.1 -
Happy Friday, everyone!

I ended the day 250 calories over because my family went out to eat. I came home at 9 pm and instead of binging because I was over, I exercised instead! That was a victory for me today!3

It's been a horrible month so far, but today was the first day I didn't binge.2 -
How come every time I think I have binging more under control, I have another binge episode. The urge sometimes can just come out of nowhere.

Making progress from last month. I would like to see more people post how they did at the end of the month. You don’t need a perfect month to post how you did.2 -

Diet change dilemma for a few days, spiraled out of control (just not consistent enough) for a few days...back on my feet after attempting some experimentation. Mainly messed up by just not using pre-packed/set allotments of certain foods (should have invested in a scale or somehow adjust to only use pre-packed portions/sizes I'm familiar enough to do mental math).2 -

*Agreed with others noticing a distinct lack of posting/commitment as each month wanes on...reminds me of the New Year Gym crowd who burn out on motivation come Feb-March. Will admit a slight tendency to do so myself but I honestly don't care what time of the month or year it is1 -

The November challenge is up! I promise I'll be more vocal in November, as I am really struggling with this and need to be focused.2
