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!!
Last night's dinner was so good...I'm still enjoying the left over seafood bisque soup. I have been really stretching it out and using it more like a sauce than a soup. Last night, I had 2 tablespoons over cauliflower rice to go along with a chicken sausage and roasted veggies. Nothing fancy but very tasty!! I think I have enough left for tonight! I'm also enjoying something different for breakfast - a banana rolled in 1/2 Joseph's lavish bread smeared with pb2 (powdered peanut butter). I just saw on a WW facebook page that they are taking the WW oatmeal and making it into muffins using eggs and bananas...I might have to try that...
Nancy, great to see a strong day behind you...we all struggle, just at different times. Jan, Wow - great day yesterday!! Hi to Kathy and Cindy!!
Today's my DS 26th birthday! He finishes up his Master's program in May so were planning to All (DS included) meet in Texas to celebrate!! Something to look forward to..
Have a great day everyone!! Lori

Jan - You're doing well with the activity / core points. Whatever works, right?
Lori - That seafood bisque on the rice sounds yummy. We're ordering in from Houlihans tomorrow. I was thinking of getting a cup of lobster bisque and using it that way. I just checked the menu - they don't have it. Maybe just as well <g>.
