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!!
Nancy, thinking of you....hope you can do a quick check in... Jan, Great day yesterday! Last night, I started the HIT beg. strength training utube, It's just what I was looking for. I only did 15 mins. after completing my 10,000 steps - starting out very slowly - and believe it or not, I can feel it this morning (that tells you how much I NEED it!). I figure 15 min three times a week is more than I was doing...I will increase as I go - want to make sure I'm doing it correctly and no neck issues....Thanks for the recommendation! Kathy, Last nights dinner sounded Yummy!! Great job at the pot-luck. All we can do, when we are not cooking, is estimate the best we can, be mindful of portion sizes and stay in Control!!
Hope everyone has a good day! Lori
