Summary
There's probably some things in your life that you wish were different. You might feel angry about them, resentful, embarrassed, ashamed, or dissatisfied. You might also think it's useful to feel these feelings because you think they're what will push you into changing what you don't like. But they won't.
In this episode, I'm talking about why it's not useful to hate on where you are and why acceptance of what is is so important. Acceptance doesn't mean you don't change. It can actually be an important step in the process of changing. Listen in to find out why and how you can be more accepting of all the circumstances in your life.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 103. |
| 0:06.4 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.7 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.2 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:21.0 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:30.0 | Hi, how's it going? How are you doing? I am great and I am ready to talk to you about accepting where you are. A lot of the time when |
| 0:42.3 | things aren't as we want them to be, we get very upset about it. Sometimes our circumstances are |
| 0:49.4 | not ideal or are very far from ideal. It's not enjoyable to not have things be how you want them to be. |
| 0:57.9 | But this is how life is. You can't always get what you want, right? I'm a big believer that there is so |
| 1:05.9 | much that we want that we can get, so much more than we think. We are capable of achieving our dreams and |

| 1:24.5 | ever have it. Let's not forget that. |
| 1:27.7 | Don't sell yourself short. |
| 1:29.6 | But also, it's important to accept the place that you're in right now, |
| 1:33.8 | even if it's not where you want to be. |
| 1:36.4 | So let's look at why acceptance of where you are is so important. |
| 1:41.8 | To really understand why, we got to look at what happens when you don't accept |
| 1:46.9 | where you are. Let's take acceptance of your body as an example, since I know a lot of you struggle |
| 1:52.2 | with thoughts about your body and the way you see your body. When you're not accepting of it, |
| 1:57.0 | you're rejecting it, you're hating on it, you're feeling ashamed of it and embarrassed by it. |
| 2:02.3 | These kinds of feelings are not going to drive you to be confident in your body and to show up |
