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. Without even trying, I ate only 2 non-Core points yesterday. I did have some Truvia brown sugar blend on my Shredded Wheat, and some mints. It was by far the best day I’ve had in a long time.
It’s currently 3° outside, not including windchill. Most side roads are still covered in snow, as it’s too cold for the salt to do much food. 500+ schools are closed in the area. January—my least favorite month. Tomorrow we’re supposed to get an inch of rain.
(((Nancy))) Will the epidural be prednisone? Are you doing the treadmill stress test or the injection? I’ll be thinking of you today.
Cindy, glad you’re on the mend. One day at a time is the only way to do this thing called life.
Kathy, I really do think OP days get easier as you string a few together.
Lori, I love how you’re adding variety to your workouts. It’s so much better for your body and prevents boredom and burnout. Have fun in AC!
