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.

C112D6, 1198 calories, 21 purple points, 7692 steps - nice long walk and more back and forth pacing at home during a long phone call. Beautiful forecast for tomorrow - sunny in the 80's. Will walk with my friend and maybe later alone.

Yesterday’s weather was simply magnificent. I took advantage of it with a 21 mile bike ride. There will be more of the same today.
Nancy, I neglected to congratulate you for making it into the 130’s! Funny, I prefer series to movies. We have just about all of the streaming platforms as everyone has different preferences.
Kathy, you’re coming up on a full year of daily yoga. Wow!
Lori, I also recommend Asics and New Balance, more so the Asics. I think Kohl’s still carries them. It’s just a good quality shoe that doesn’t cave to trends like the minimalist shoe.

I am just checking in and hope to be back in a day or two. I am doing reasonably well with food. My cousin, who is ill, is doing less well than she had been. So, for the past few days, I have been staying at her house. Her partner is helpful. But, my cousin is 6-years older than I am and her partner is a close to a decade older than she is. There are some thing things that he is simply unable to do.
I hope that all of you are doing well!

janes, are they using Hospice? They were very helpful during the beginning of Mom's journey. Medicare pays for all of it.

Jan - We had the gorgeous weather too today. I got in two nice walks.
Jane - My heart goes out to you, your cousin and her partner. I hope you got to see the short but lovely service for RBG. I loved the rabbi's eulogy. I think I heard that her husband was one of RBG's law clerks. Maybe you know that already.

Can anyone tell me how you delete a food item (or the whole meal's content) in the MFP app?
