ME Vs. the BINGE -- January 2019 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 2018:
Me (or you can use your user name or real name) - 0
The Binge - 0

    I'm really struggling with binge eating at the minute and have been for a while. I lost 6 stone but have gained almost 3 stone of that back from binge eating. I'm so disappointed and angry at myself but need to break the habit as I'm stuck in a loop of binging and self hate. I will definitely be giving this a go though!

    I'm trying to surf this urge to binge tonight, so I figured I'd post it and then go to bed. Ugh, it's loud in my head tonight.

    Jan 4th, I beat the binge. Phew. Although I did factor the calories for the choc I usually have, but then added a fizzy drink on, woops.

    It was even pizza night. Typically that's a huge trigger for me. I had my 2 pieces, then went for a walk. It worked to distact me from the pizza long enough for the kids to finish it off.
