WELCOME TO REGULAR & NEW POSTERS! This thread is full of encouragement & suggestions. New people, welcome! We encourage you to jump in. One day, one hour, one minute at a time is easier to handle than a week, etc. Lurkers, join in
Our goal is 21 days Binge Free (studies show 21 days to break old habits & start new ones!). Whether we make 21 or one, the point is to learn as we go, replace binges with other things to help us through stressful times. Some days are harder than others & we may slip; that's OK. The Binge Monster is in the shadows waiting to pounce. Hopefully this thread provides inspiration, courage, & support to become a Binge Survivor!
You may see different folks on different "Cycles." A Cycle is a 21 day block of consecutive binge-free days. Stay with us for as many cycles as you'd like.
Everyone's definition of a BINGE is different. The Oxford Dictionary defines a binge as a spree of eating and drinking. To many of us, BINGE is defined as "eating without dignity." The dictionary defines "dignity" as a calm and serious manner or style, showing suitable formality or indicating that one deserves respect. Only you can define what a binge is for you. Going over points, as long as it was done with dignity and journaled (therefore acknowledged and "owned") isn't binging--it is up to you to decide.
SPECIAL THANKS TO LESLIE5609 for starting this challenge on the Out of Control Board, in August '02, and thanks to all who keep it going

Good morning! 18 non-Core points and 31 APs earned yesterday. I realized just how many more songs I need to learn for a 45 minute Pound class vs. a 30 minute class, and panicked. I spent a solid 2 hours practicing, with another hour planning and organizing. Tomorrow night is my first 30 minute class, and Thursday will be my first 45 minute class. I’ll be spending a lot of time this week listening to the songs and reviewing the choreography in my mind. The car is a great place to do that.
Nancy, I hope your weekend made memories for a lifetime ❤️

Was more or less On Plan yesterday. Very close to my targeted points - but it was a potluck dinner, so hard to know exactly.
Today has gone ok. Just too much going on.... Nice dinner in the oven - roasted chicken, baked potatoes, corn, and more cabbage salad :-)
Have a great day all.
Kathy
