| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 148. |
| 0:06.3 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.6 | 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 |
| 0:20.9 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarkdi. Now let's get |
| 0:27.2 | to it. Hi, let's talk about not feeling better. Who wants that? Probably not many people. Most people want to feel better now as quickly |
| 0:43.3 | as possible. You're feeling uncomfortable. You want to feel comfortable. You're feeling sad. |
| 0:47.6 | You want to feel happy or content. You're feeling stressed. You want to feel calm. |

| 1:31.1 | even if just temporarily. So much of the time when we're in discomfort, we don't care if the relief |
| 1:37.7 | is only temporary. We just go for the quick way out even if we know it's only going to be temporary simply because we're not |
| 1:46.6 | willing to be in discomfort in that moment. It's like if you have a chronic itch from a rash or a |
| 1:53.3 | mosquito bite or a bug bite of some kind, you know scratching it isn't really going to fix the |
| 1:59.2 | itch, but temporarily it will stop it. So you do it. And once you |
| 2:03.9 | stop scratching or maybe a little later, the itch comes back. You're not feeling better without a |
| 2:10.4 | consequence. You don't just get the temporary relief. You get something that you probably don't want |
