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

28 points 1996 calories 23+ APs
It was a high point and calorie day for me. It was a combination of being my usual busy Wednesday and PMS.
Great stats for yesterday, Nancy!
Lori, itβs hard to have such beautiful weather and not be able to walk. Youβre almost a week into it, and Iβm sure the next week will fly. Hang in there.

Three day's following MFP, staying around 1200 calories the scale this morning was 138!! I'm a happy camper!!
Yesterday was a beautiful day. I went for a stroll after lunch just to enjoy the weather. The ankle is feeling better each day. Planning the same for today. I want to be 100% for our AC trip which is now scheduled for 5/29 and 5/30th!!
Jan, I use to struggle a lot with my weight with PMS. Since, completing menopause it has been so much easier for me. Hope down the road it's the same for you...
Nancy, your doing great! how is the aid situation? Enjoy another beautiful day!
Kathy, check in if you can....
