Summary
After you binge, or if you make an eating mistake, you have some thoughts and feelings about it and they matter. They will determine what you do and how you treat yourself afterward. How you're responding it either going to look like a judge or a scientist.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the two options and discussing which will be more useful and why. Your reaction choice is optional, so let's start choosing the one that will move you forward, not keep your stuck.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty episode number 168. |
| 0:07.0 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. |
| 0:09.7 | It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin feeling confident and in control around food. |
| 0:15.4 | You are absolutely capable of eliminating binge eating from your life. |
| 0:19.5 | And I'm going to show you how by giving you |
| 0:21.4 | simple tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. |
| 0:27.3 | Now let's get to it. Hi. How the heck are you? I'm good, feeling good and ready to talk with you all about being a scientist and being a judge. |
| 0:43.1 | And no, I am not talking about career choices. I'm talking about how you're handling your past eating decisions. |
| 0:50.6 | When you binge, when you make a mistake, when you eat something you said you wouldn't eat, |
| 0:55.6 | how are you responding to that decision? Are you being judgmental or are you being |
| 1:01.8 | curious? Because one of those is going to be useful for you and the other is not. Most of the time |
| 1:09.4 | when I would binge, I would be a full on judge. I would get mad at |

| 1:20.9 | party. I would be so judgmental of myself and what I did. And the next day, I would jump right into how I was going to fix it, |
| 1:30.4 | which was basically me punishing myself. I wasn't trying to fix my binge eating problem as a whole, |
| 1:36.5 | but fix that binge, which meant I was going to overhaul my eating and do an intense workout. |
| 1:42.8 | And I also may have punished myself by not allowing |
| 1:45.1 | myself to spend time with a friend if it was going to be an eating or drinking thing since I was |
| 1:50.5 | afraid of weight gain. None of that helped me to stop binging. All it did was make me feel bad. |
| 1:58.9 | I'd feel bad emotionally when I was mad and disappointed in myself and being |
| 2:04.3 | judgmental of myself. And I'd feel bad physically when I'd under-eat and work out too much. I'd feel |
| 2:10.5 | bad isolating myself because of my binge. Those punishments weren't teaching me any useful lessons. |
