Summary
If you’ve read Brain over Binge, you know how problematic cereal was for me during my dieting and binge eating days. But now, many years after recovery, I don’t eat much cereal at all, and it’s not a struggle to avoid it. I never would have believed that this was possible when I was bulimic, because cereal seemed to control me. Through my story, I want to help you learn to develop a healthy relationship with former binge foods.

| 0:12.4 | Binge eating does not mean that something is wrong with you. It's a natural but primitive brain response that you can correct. |

| 0:45.0 | Welcome to the Brain Over Binge Podcast, where you learn a simple brain-based approach to ending |
| 0:49.8 | binge eating. I'm Catherine Hansen, and I'm happy to be here to share insights and ideas and information to help you stop |
| 0:56.5 | binge eating. For those of you who are new here, I'm the author of Brain Over Binge and the Brain Over Binge |
| 1:01.7 | Recovery Guide and my mission is to make recovery practical and attainable for anyone who wants to live |
| 1:07.7 | free of bulimia, binge eating disorder, or any form of out-of-control eating. |
| 1:12.8 | For today's show, and I hope for some future shows as well, I thought it would be helpful to share |
| 1:17.7 | some real-life situations that I encountered while I was giving up binging and after recovery. |
| 1:23.6 | I often talk in pretty general terms on this show when it comes to eating because everyone is so |
| 1:28.6 | different as far as how they choose to eat and I never want people to think that they need to |
| 1:33.0 | eat in the same way that I'm eating. And another reason that I usually talk in a more generalized |
| 1:37.9 | way is that conversations about specific foods or ways of eating can cause some anxiety or other uneasy feelings in some people. |
| 1:46.7 | But we have to remember that ultimately binge eating is a problem involving food, and we cannot |
| 1:52.6 | avoid that. And not talking about the food can prevent some issues from being fully addressed. |
| 1:58.5 | So I'm hoping that hearing about a few of my experiences with eating |
| 2:02.0 | helps make the concepts that I talk about on this show more real to you |
| 2:06.3 | and helps you apply what I teach in your own life. |
