If you want to be more consistent, you're in the right place. I'm Elizabeth Benton. Welcome to

Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of

progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically

chasing new habits and start

strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it. Hello everybody.

Welcome back to the primal potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. I am pumped for today's episode.

I used to think that the cost of my binge eating was that I hadn't lost the weight yet.

That was the cost.

That's what it was costing me to keep going was not losing weight.

In hindsight, that was the smallest cost because the most expensive part

wasn't being overweight. It wasn't the gene size. The most expensive part of that pattern

was what it stole from me. Starting with my health, but certainly not limited to my health, it did.

It did steal from my health, not just then, but probably in ways that will impact me for the

rest of my life. But it also stole options. It cost me confidence. It cost me self-trust.

It was the heavy mental weight of,

I should do this, and I shouldn't do that, and I need to do this, and I didn't do that, and I'm going to start on Monday, and how am I going to overcome this pattern this time? Here's the part that

hits me the hardest now. I didn't get an invoice, but I did get

consequences, costly consequences that didn't show up as a bill in my mailbox or a line item on

my MX, so I didn't treat them like they were truly costs, but they were.

So today's episode is kind of a little bit about money, but not in the way that you think.

I have had over the past couple weeks a lot of conversations through scholarship applications

for the Defense Foundations program.
