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 (therefore acknowledged 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

Morning, BFF's! Checking in. Eating has been healthy so far this week and I have that "feeling determined" feeling. Hope you are all doing well.

Nancy, there is a phone number for Garmin, but they're closed on Sundays so I just sent an email. Still going strong with 10k steps. I'm impressed! The health benefits are endless.
Not much to report here. It's a quick work day for me. I'm hoping things stay peaceful with the boys.

Hello all ~ I've been having a rough May and June- food wise. It isn't even my usual overeating of healthy foods (granola, dried fruit, nuts, etc...). I've been eating a lot of really junky food. Stress eating, boredom eating (lots of hours in the car), etc... The scale accurately reflects my poor food choices.
Today is a new day! I'm at a conference for lunch and dinner, but it is really healthy food and lots of fruit and vegetables. So I really hope to get closer to back on track..
EDESIA - so great that you are feeling determined! I feel determined, but kind of food incompetent ;-)
Jan - hope you have a great work day and peace with the boys!
Nancy - great job on all the steps! Looks like you are off to an ok start for June.
Kids up and I need to get going out the door. I will check in here every day (sometimes I'm gone when so so so discouraged with my food choices :-(
Hi to all who follow!
Kathy
