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.

Celebrating day 60! I started Feb. 11 and by God's grace am still plugging along.
Thanks for the kind words. Knee is wrapped and elevated with periodic icing. Staying home from church cause I don't need the extra steps.
Peace to all.

So today DH and I went to a diner for lunch. It was my first meal, I enjoy 1/2 eggplant sandwich 1/3 fries (est. 500 cal). They had an amazing dessert display. So for my delayed gratification challenge, I bought a almond danish - when I got home I looked up the calories by weight, 1/4 of the danish - 60g = 194 cal. Wow, was that an eye opener. When I think of the holidays, celebrations when I overdid dessert - I canβt even imagine how many calories I consumed. Grateful, Iβm now in a piece where 1/4 danish is a treat!! Learning so much....
Nancy, Great day yesterday!! Glad you got out for the two walks....so dreary out today....
Meg, WhooHoo on day 60!! glad your taken good care of your knee....

Meg - Looks like you're taking good care of the knee. I hope it works. 60 days is amazing. 3 more days with be 3 cycles. WTG!!
Lori - OMG the whole danish would be 776 calories. That would be 35 Kedem tea biscuits or 11 built bites <g>. Just think of the days we would have had a full one or even two plus who knows what else. We've come a long way, Baby.
