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.

Iβm still feeling a little gloomy. I think Iβm just so tired of peopleβs nonsense.
Lori, how has your step count been this week?
Nancy, you had a nice number of steps yesterday. The weather here has been ideal for walking.

Nancy, your calculations for the muffin is correct. I was just reading it incorrectly. and don't worry, I will have comfy shoes on!!
Jan, This, so far, it's a good walking week. I actually hit over 10,000 steps on Monday (thanks to the nice weather and my GF getting me out to walk after work). Yesterday it was over 6,000 which is also a big improvement (I'll take it!!). My goal right now is just to get over 6,000 a day. Thanks for asking!! I was thinking of you last night - you would have loved my dinner. It was a made up of all leftovers....portabella mushroom topped with low fat ricotta, roasted tomatoes, grilled zucchini and reduced fat mozzarella on top. (I should have added roasted peppers...next time)..It was quick, easy, delicious and satisfying!!
Hi to Louise and Kathy!!

Jan - The weather's been good here as well. Unfortunately I didn't get in much exercise today. Just line dancing. Afterwards I practiced piano and then had my lesson. Then I got busy and never made it out for a walk.
Lori - I liked it better at 90 <g>. 133 is a little steep but it does serve a purpose - mainly a way to use up a ripe banana.
