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

C93D8, 19 points, 4 rollovers, 7 water, 1199 calories
Throat pain excruciating so went to Dr. Gave me a Z-pack which will hopefully do the trick. Still coughing too which hurts my already sore throat. Can’t wait to feel better. Appt with physical therapist on Monday. Line dancing cancelled.
Lori – That’s BS about unplugging it. I got the new one first so I could use the box to return the old one. Then I called back and said there’s no way I’m paying $93 for shipping it back. They emailed a prepaid label with no argument. This must happen all the time. If they charged me for the new one, I’d just dispute it with my credit card company. They always advocate on behalf of their customers. Hang tough GF!!
Jan – I ended up getting dressed to go the doctor’s. Wednesday will be my PJ day instead. I’ve been getting a lot accomplished – chomping away at my to do list. Tomorrow should finish it up. When life hands you lemons…………….. <g>.

Good morning. Yesterday was very similar in points to Monday, with several more APs. My clothes are fitting better than they were a few weeks ago. So far, I’m very pleased with how my eating has gone this holiday season. Soon the goodies will be rolling in, and I’ll need to figure out a way to enjoy without going overboard.
Nancy, hoping the Z pack kicks in soon. A sore throat is the cold symptom that I hate the most. At least you’re making the most of your down time.
Lori, I was kind surprised that Aaptiv was audio only, especially in this video age. Are you doing Shelly Dose on YouTube, or the other video I recommended?

Good Morning!
Nancy, hope the medicine kicks in quickly and your throat feels better today....don't worry Nancy - I'm on it!! I'd be lost without my air fryer, they make you fly thru hoops...lol
Jan, Wonderful that your clothes are fitting better that will make you feel better and want to stay on track!! I think my Biggest challenge is the week after Christmas - when I'm off from work (more down time) and lots of leftovers and goodies and eating out is involved....I'll also be working on a plan!!! I forgot about Shelly Dose - I'll be checking them out also!! The audio was good for the treadmill and walking but I was lost with the stretching - very hard to know what the heck they are talking about.....
gotta run...

Jan - Such good news the way your clothes are fitting. Aren't you even mildly curious about the weight? I'm betting a pleasant surprise is in store.
Lori - Anxious to hear how you make out with Cuisinart.
