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 Thursday morning. Excellent food day yesterday. It’s a relief to be consistent with healthy eating again.
Lori, wonderful that you have two trips to look forward to!
Nancy, when we were in Hawaii for four weeks several years ago, I did an album online at the end of my trip. After that I was hooked.

Food and exercise are going well! It’s already been 9 weeks since I incorporated, 20 minutes of two days of strength training and two days of Pilates into my routine!! Clothes are a little looser and I am feeling more toned. Yeah!! The dining hall at work changed chefs about two months ago and has been including a lot of vegetarian dishes. It’s been great trying all the different dishes. I’m lucky enough to see the nutritional information on the website (you have to have a special code). It amazes me how good he can make tofu and seitan (never even heard of it, but it tasted good!) I’ve actually been eating a lot of meatless meals – something different.
Nancy, Snapfish and Shutterfly are awesome! I love to make photo projects and give as gifts – I’ve made a collage for DH’s retirement, Mugs with the kids photos, a pillow for my DD of her cat (that she absolutely loves), calendars and many photo books…you should check it out.
Jan, Yeah for Consist!!
Happy Thursday!!

So last night, when I switched to the recliner, I really wanted a 1 point WW snack size fudgicle. My throat was hurting and the cold felt so good. But here's the good news. I had nothing else!! For me under those conditions a huge NSV.
Jan - You're doing really well in the food department. Hope you can keep it up. I get the feeling that you're so much happier when remaining OP. No amount of chocolate or peanut butter can trump that feeling.
Lori - How absolutely fabulous that you've been sticking with the strength training regime. The results have to be motivational. And it's wonderful that the new chef is providing so many healthier options - good for you and especially good for the kids. And yes I will try snapchat and/or shutterfly. I have a feeling I'll be instantly hooked.
