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 (thereforeacknowledged 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.

Quick post this morning. My irritability from yesterday has carried over to today. Just tired and fed up with everything. At least the weather will be beautiful this week.

Feeling a little bit stronger each day!! Feels good to be back to healthy eating!
Nancy, I found the cheesecake tasted better and better each day...I would say mine was like a creamy cheesecake consistency...It may depend on what brand yogurt you use (I used Fage). The weather looks great for the weekend (maybe even hot!) I'm excited since we'll be meeting Saturday and DH and I are headed to AC on Sunday till Tuesday!!
Jan, not a good way to start the day...hope you day turns around!! hope the sunshine helps brighten it!!
Hi Louise, hope all is going well!! Kathy, thinking of you!!

Nancy, regarding cheesecake - I also used 1 egg and 2 egg whites....wondering how many calories does the kodiak banana muffin come to?? My say 129 for two muffins...does that sound right?

Jan - Hope you're feeling better as the day progresses.
Lori - I just used Stonyfield plain yogurt. I'll try the Fage Greek next time. I'm sure that will make the difference. Hmmm - I get 133 for one muffin. 190 (1/2 cup Kodiak) + 200 (2 bananas) + 144 2 eggs = 534 / 4 = 133. What am I doing wrong? I've actually been counting one muffin at 90 calories and I'm not sure why. Wear some comfy shoes.
Louise - Hi.
