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. It was cloudy but such a nice, mild day yesterday. It got into the low 50’s. I’ve upped my Sunday runs to 8 miles. I do wish my foot wasn’t still sore, as otherwise 8 miles isn’t a problem. I got out for my first bike ride of the season yesterday! I’ve been so antsy to go, and I saw several other people out on bikes. It’s 3 weeks earlier than my first ride last year.
We did asparagus on the grill yesterday. I read that thicker asparagus is less stringy than the thin stalks, and I found that to be true yesterday. It was so good!
Lori, how much fun redoing a room!
Kathy, good job at the bowling alley. I agree with Nancy, ordering is the hardest part. Once the decision is made, I’m relieved and enjoy whatever I’ve chosen.
Nancy, I think my sausages turn out softer inside. I’m surprised at how much I’m enjoying them. Great step count yesterday!

Jan, Wow, bike riding 3 weeks earlier - that's surprising to me. It just seemed like winter was forever....Never knew that about asparagus...interesting...
Kathy, look forward to your checking in....I keep thinking about your beach vacation - sounds heavenly...
