You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 13.

Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin

feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating

binge eating from your life. And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and insights

that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it.

Hi, how are you? I am so good. Life is good, you guys, and I'm so excited to talk with you today.

I have a question for you.

Do you find yourself mostly binging at night? I know I've personally binged at all times of day,

breakfast binges, afternoon, anytime was a possible time, but night was by far the most common for me,

and I hear the same thing from so many people I talk to.

You eat so well during the day, you stay on track, you stay on your plan, and once night comes

around, boom, it's all over. Maybe it's right when you get home in the evening, maybe it's after

dinner. Both happen to me. I would be tired after work and I just want to

relax with a bunch of food or I'd finish dinner and then my dessert would get really out of hand.

So let's talk about why. What are the reasons why you binge at night? Well, I've got six reasons for you,

the six I find to be the most common. So I'm going to

go through each and teach you how to handle them. All right, here we go. Number one, you come up

with lots of excuses for binging because of how your day was. You've been good all day,

or the last few days maybe, so you can have a treat, and then that

treat turns into an extra meal or an extra large meal.

Or you deserve it after such a hard and stressful day.

This is your reward.
