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

C95D8, 14 points and 989 calories + second of of isolated Boston Chicken meal, 8 water, K:15-3
Pool cancelled this morning and no other plans so treated myself to a PJ day. Disappointed that I didn't get more accomplished. It's already late, so personals will have to wait. No exercise. Wishing you all a nice, solid, healthy OP day.

Good morning. For some dumb reason, I got into the peanut butter last night. Everything up until that point was OP. Moving on today.....
Thank you for the compliments on the Facebook pictures. I do feel that I have some weight to lose, especially after seeing the pictures.
Lori, I don’t have any suggestions re: pictures. It’s a struggle here, too. It’s been a year since I did 40 bags in 40 days. I need to go through closets and drawers again.
Kathy, safe travels to you this week. I think you’re doing well with weight loss considering all your traveling.
Nancy, a pajama day sounds great. I’m sure you’ll be back in productivity mode today.

Good Morning Ladies!
I was happy with the scale this morning so the rest of the week I will be following Freestyle with mostly zero foods aiming for the low end of the Healthy Eating Zone. After a MFP day, I really enjoy the freedom of adding fruit to my day and not having to track it….lol
Nancy, It's good to have a non-productive day (I call it my lazy day) every once in a while. I feel it makes me even more productive going forward...kind of like rejuvenates me...Have a Great day today!
Jan, PB is at least a healthy choice!! Cleaning out near seems to end....
Kathy, Great way to start the Day!!!
Lori
