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

C94D1 โ Iโm going to call it another binge. All day was good, the Boston Market dinner as planned, but then got a big snacky at night. Will this cycle ever end? Three solid days coming up before WI.
Table tennis, treadmill (only 15 minutes), beginnerโs line dancing.

20 non-Core foods and 25 APs yesterday. They were giving out a new protein drink to kick off the start of our fitness challenge, so that consumed 8 points. Itโs the first protein drink Iโve ever had that actually did taste like a milkshake. It was delicious! It was high in sugar, so it would be nice for a treat, but not something to have every day.
This week is so busy, with no let up in sight. Thank goodness itโs Wednesday, though it feels like Friday.
Nancy, I hope today goes as planed for you.

Good Morning!
Yesterday, I followed CORE for the breakfast, lunch, snacks and then switched to freestyle. I just felt like having my 1/2 cuban sandwich with (5) sweet potato fries and veggies. Tracked the non-zero foods and came to an estimate of 15 points for the day. I think that might be a good combination of both plans.
Nancy, Three solid days - You got this!!! Jan, the beginning of the year most be a crazy time for you...Sometimes busy is good as long as it's not too stressful....hang in there a couple more days!! Hi Cindy, hope yesterday went well!
