Summary
I can't tell you how many times I've asked people why they made the decision to eat instead of allowing their urge to pass and they tell me, "It's just easier." I'm not going to argue this statement. Eating is easier. So why wouldn't you just choose the easy way every time?
The easy way isn't always the bad way. Sometimes easy is good. But sometimes it's not. In this episode, I'm deciphering between the easy stuff and hard stuff and how to know which to choose. It's always your choice and I'm going to help you choose.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarfdy episode number 107. |
| 0:06.2 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.5 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.1 | binge eating from your life. And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:20.8 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get |
| 0:27.2 | to it. Hi, how are you? You ready to dive in? Me too. Today's episode is about the easy way to get pleasure. Wanting pleasure is innate in all of us. |
| 0:45.2 | I've talked about this before on the podcast, but in case you missed it or forgot, there's this |
| 0:49.7 | concept called the motivational triad. It involves three things that our brains have always been wired to do |
| 0:56.7 | that keeps us alive as individuals and as a species. It's seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, |
| 1:03.7 | and doing it with the least amount of effort as possible. Basically, some of the pleasure part is |
| 1:10.0 | eat to stay fueled, have sex to reproduce, connect with |
| 1:14.1 | others to be a survival team, stay clean and warm to not get sick and die. |
| 1:19.7 | The pain part is pretty self-explanatory. Don't hurt yourself because an infection could mean |
| 1:25.3 | death and don't get eaten by a bear. And the least |
| 1:28.7 | energy part is because food was scarce back in the day and we needed to conserve our energy |
| 1:34.0 | if you wanted to be able to go out and find it. That's what kept us alive back before humans |
| 1:39.6 | made it so much easier to survive. But now in our modern industrialized world, we don't have to work so |
| 1:47.2 | hard to stay alive. Food is everywhere. We have medicine and surgeries. Wild animals aren't |
| 1:54.1 | typically roaming around us and living easily is very, very easy. Surviving in this world is easy. Getting pleasure has become extremely easy. |
| 2:07.0 | If I wanted to, I could stop recording this episode right now and in a matter of minutes get pleasure |
| 2:12.5 | from several different sources. My computer, my books, my phone, and any of the restaurants within |
| 2:19.2 | walking distance from me. I could hop in my car and go visit a friend. I could do a puzzle, |
