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.

C114D5, 19 purple points, 1248 calories, 2 hrs of line dancing with friend
Lori - The idea of that final treat is really appealing. I'm looking forward to my built bite and am positive it will eliminate any additional night time snacking. Today (Tuesday), I had 43 grams fiber (MFP goal 22) and 64 grams protein (MFP goal 60). Treat calories 11% of day's total - 1/2 cup enlightened ice cream and a built bite.

Yesterday was a really good, satisfying eating day. I made a healthy version of KFC chicken bowl (mashed cauliflower, corn, caulipower chicken nuggets and FF gravy). Also made french onion soup w/ 647 croutons and 1 slice of thin 40cal provolone cheese. Boy, both were Really good!!
Nancy, Great day Yesterday!!!

Meg and Kathy - Wishing you both a Strong day!!

Hi there. Late check-in. I had a good day but ate way too much for dinner.
Lori: I started listening to the Half Size me podcast, and will look for her other stuff, too.
Thanks, everyone. Peace.

Jan - Line dancing with my friend made me smile too <g> Lovin' the 9/9.
Lori - The built bite at bedtime is a game changer for me. I call it a treat BTW, do you? Anyway, it keeps me honest all day because I have it to look forward to. I find it much more satisfying from the fridge. Chewier. And once I have it, I'm done, physically and mentally. Merci beaucoup!!
Meg - Lovin' your daily check ins. Keep 'm coming!
