Hope no one minds that I started this week's challenge...

Welcome to the binge-free challenge!! You can come in here and post your weekly successes and struggles and keep track of your binge free days. You can also vent about anything and everything you feel like getting out. We are here to share our feelings and to encourage and inspire each other. No negativity! We are strong chicks and I KNOW we all can do this!! And we don't have to do it alone, we have each other to get us through the rough times.

ALL chicks are welcome -- no one is excluded! If you are trying to lose weight, not trying, maintaining, recovering from an eating disorder, in the midst of one, or have ANY kind of problem with food, we would love to have you join us!!

Let's have an awesome week!!

Day 40 for me.

I started thinking today about the circumstances that have helped me stay strong. I'm in a completely different state for the summer. Literally, another state, i'm in VA and during the school year, I live in NY. I hope that once i'm back in NY, at my usual job, in my usual routine, that I am able to keep up with my healthy eating.

Happy Tuesday to all and to all a bingefree day

Day 2 for me, did good even though I really wanted ice cream again. I chewed gum instead!

I'm in on this! I've been good the past two days, despite the Mcdonalds cravings. Hopefully this challenge will help motivate me to stay that way.

earning day 8. it has been a long time since i made it past 7 days so i am excited about this string... will have a challenge tonight when my bf leaves my place before my bedtime and i am alone in the house... at least there is very little binge-triggers left in the house!!

lets keep the positive momentum!

Day 12 here! I'm really liking how my body is feeling as a result of eating clean and not going overboard. It's really beginning to feel like my relationship with food is changing!!

Day 184! Now the hard part is the next few months. (My anniversary is coming up, my hubby's birthday and then the holidays!) But can't worry about that right now. It's best to focus on one day at a time.

I finally lost another 2 ounces today. Losing weight is very slow for me. It's so hard sometimes when there's no reward when I work so hard. But those 2 little ounces gave me back the determination I needed today.

Maryjaneld, thank you for the congrats. I really appreciate the support.

Here's to another successful day to all of us!

Tyla

You guys are doing so good it really motivates me!


Day 3 = binge free

It seems to get easier especially when I'm prepared foodwise. I went to the grocery store yesterday and that's usually one of the times when I get tempted to go over board (I have eaten junkfood in the car on the way home from the grocery store and then hide the evidence) oh! the horrible stories I could tell Anyway yesterday I shopped, wasn't tempted at all came home made turkey burgers and didn't binge at all. It felt really good!

day 92!

i'm so proud of all of us! Look at all our sucesses!

Fruitlady...great job chewing gum and not all the other stuff!

blindcantaloup - 2 days is a great start and if you start having more McD cravings, imagine your favorite meal strapped to your butt (cuz that's where it's gonna go...). Makes ya not want to eat anymore, and it makes ya laugh

happytobemom - glad you're earning your days. I know how easy it is to binge when you're by yourself. Imagine cuddles from you bf and not food.

Vixsin - day 12 holy moly, that's great! I know what ya mean about feeling better about your body, same here!

Tyla - you are a constant motivator. Look how far you've come, the holidays and anniversaries will feel so much better eating healthy than feeling stuffed. Think about all those things you're celebrating, they are worth being healthy for

K-boogie - I find that being prepared is 2/3 of the battle. When you don't have healthy food options planned, it's so easy to just say, "oh to **** with it".

Paris - wow! in the 90s....i hope to make it there!

Well it's day 41 for me Sending everyone good vibes

I'd like to join in the challenge. I will be starting tomorrow. Thanks!

And congrats to all of you doing so well!

Thanks all! yeh, the gum thing really does work for me, even if I have to chew 10 pieces a day, it's worth it.

Well, today I didn't pop that gum in my mouth, I ate too much ice cream ( almost a whole half gallon), it's so hot here in Pa. again. This has been the hottest summer in a long time. I always want to binge on something cold. I'm starting day 1 tomorrow even though it wasn't as bad as usual.

Haven't checked in awhile...been super busy with stuff and working a TON. Finished Day 4 today!
