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

C118D1 (starting over), 28 purple points, 1741 calories, 81 grams protein, 41 grams fiber, just table tennis.
Unnecessary snacking throughout the day - not really a binge and every morsel counted but definitely bingy. On the positive side, I've had 152 successfully k-closed nights out of 154. Out to lunch tomorrow and then all week with Steve and Leila. Whatever happens, I will consider it a success if everything is tracked even involving some estimates. After that I hope to get right back in the game. Not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in. You play, you pay.

Lunch was cancelled so I got to play pool which in all honesty I preferred. So today is turning out to be totally OP which is a pleasure.

Jan - I just finished Florence Adler Swims Forever and enjoyed it. Thanks. I now downloaded a sample of The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler. Joy Behar named it as her pick for summer reading. It sounds like something we'd both like. BTW I'm also enjoying Obama's The Promised Land on CD. I'm pretty sure it was another of your suggestions.
