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

Day 161. Grateful to be on the beam!
Lori: I love kayaking, too. I came really close to buying an inflatable one a couple of years ago, but then backed out.
Peace.

I posted this morning but evidently it got lost in cyberspace.
Lori, we got a kayak a few years ago. I think Alex is keeping it at someone’s house on the river. I went several times one year but never made it out last year. I tend to get antsy if I’m in it for more than an hour. It’s very peaceful out on the water.
Kathy, many times I’m pleasantly surprised when I track those unplanned items. It’s not always as bad as I think it will be.
Meg, happy you’re back on the beam!
Nancy, is it this weekend that you’ll have company again?

Jan - Yep Steve and Leila arrive Saturday and stay for the week. I plan to be on my best behavior with food (from my mouth to God's ears <g>).
