    Sigh. It's not even noon and I've already binged big time. Made the mistake of dropping by 7-11 and in a moment of weakness, ended up buying a bag of kettle-cooked chips and a king-size candy bar. Ate SO many of the chips and half the candy bar. I feel disgusting right now, augh. At least I'll have some motivation to work out later...

    This challenge is really helping me both in making better eating choices and knowing that all of you are facing the same challenge. We can beat the binge monster!

    Was doing great, until last night I ate three large tablespoons of peanut butter, followed by six fudgesicles. OOPS! Back on track today. I really should not buy fudgesicles......

    Weekends are my downfall. I can usually keep tabs on things pretty well at work.

    Today was not a good day--but I wouldn't say I binged..just overate. I had a girls night at my house and while I did go over a bit, I felt in control and have no regrets. Going to call it a win for me today...because my normal self would have had a second piece of pie after everyone had left..but tonight I wasn't even tempted! :)

    how do you gauge a binge? if you go over your calories, eat too much sugar, have too many carbs...

    Start date: July 8th
    Winning: 1
    Binge Monster: 3

    So, this wasn't a total binge, really. I did good until last night. I call it a binge because I did not control myself. I did make a wise choice to eat a salad, but did not really limit the amount and had 3 Tablespoons of a regular kind of dressing (not a light dressing), and for dessert a bowl of ice cream with 3 Tablespoons (at least) of Hershey's Chocolate syrup. So, not totally out of control as in eating the whole container of ice cream... but definitely will NOT lose weight by doing this kind of thing.. I really do call it a binge as I could not control the urge & HAD to do this.

    That's not a binge! It's okay to enjoy a little extra of the things you like. Imo a binge is like, eating the entire family size bag of chips in one sitting. You should not get bent out of shape over something so minor. Sometimes you just want some extra chocolate syrup, nbd.

    I lost to the challenge today.
    Binge monster got me eating 1,400 calories over my mfp limit.

    I would have probably kept eating more if I didn't force myself to go the gym to try and burn off some of the stuff I ate tonight.:frown:
