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

TGIF! Eating remained in check the remainder of the day. One of my men in senior fit brings me two Lindor truffles occasionally, and yesterday was one of those days. I enjoyed them both last night with no urge to scour the house for more chocolate. Wonders never cease.
Today I have a podiatrist appointment. My PCP asked me if I had one when I mentioned all my foot troubles. I told her I went to one a couple years ago but was not impressed. She gave me a name. I was limping by Monday afternoon, but have been fine the rest of th week. I’m betting I’ll be getting some orthotics.
Nancy, I don’t like this feeling of sadness either. It’s like a heavy blanket that’s weighing me down. What a difference good doctors make, yes? Wonderful that you’ve had no pain or bruising from the procedure.

Happy Friday!!
I enjoyed every bite of my dinner last night. DH is looking forward to leftovers. He also had me bring home a whole pizza so tonight I'm planning to have a veggie pita pizza with a side salad. Breakfast and lunch is the same as yesterday...nice and light after a very heavy meal....
I just got a call from the dermatologist, the test came back Atypical so I need to have more removed which will require stitches so I scheduled that in between my two trips. Just a reminder of how important skin checks are...
Nancy, stats are great!! When will you receive your test results? Jan, You are doing so awesome enjoying a treat and keeping things under control!! Good luck at the podiatrist - if orthotics work, that's an easy fix and your feet will be happy!!

Lori, it’s a good thing you went for your skin check. I really need to schedule one.
I finally spoke with the guidance counselor today. It’s a good thing I’m on it, because they dropped the ball big time. On top of not returning phone calls and emails, she flat out admitted that he was not forefront in her mind. Other kids took the Workkeys test last week! She tried to tell me he had to wait until the next scheduled exam, which will be April 18. Nope. No way. There won’t be time for him to retake the test if he needs to. I was absolutely livid, and I’m still seething. I emailed the principal about this, insisting that the exam be administered the first week in April. I WILL go to the superintendent if I need to.
