Summary
Kathryn and coach Julie help you reframe how you think about recovery. You’ll learn to challenge the belief that stopping binge eating is a hard road and see that ending this destructive habit is actually the easy path. Ease never comes from giving in to urges to binge, or trying to control weight through restriction, but from nourishing your body, accepting your natural weight, and letting go of the binge-restrict cycle. Even if there are some challenging and uncomfortable moments in recovery, it’s never as hard as bingeing.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Brain Over Binge Podcast, where you learn a simple, brain-based approach to ending binge eating. |
| 0:10.7 | I'm Catherine Hansen, and in today's episode, Coach Julie and I want to help you reframe how you think about recovery. |
| 0:17.0 | If you've ever believed that stopping binge eating is a very long, very difficult road, we're going to invite you to change that mindset and help you see that ending the destructive habit of binging is actually the easy path. |
| 0:29.5 | The truly hard path is continuing to binge, or binge and purge, and restrict. |
| 0:34.8 | Even if it seems like acting on the urges to binge is easier in the moment, |
| 0:39.0 | ease never comes from going down that habitual pathway. Ease also never comes from trying to |
| 0:44.5 | control your weight through depriving your body of enough food. It comes from nourishing your body |
| 0:49.0 | and stepping away from that exhausting binge and restrict cycle. Recovery absolutely has challenges, but it's never as |
| 0:55.8 | hard as continuing to binge. Before we get started, I want to remind you about the new |
| 1:00.2 | Brain Over Binge podcast guide that I introduced in the previous episode. It's a simple index PDF |

| 1:49.4 | and we want to kind of walk you through it and help you see that recovery is actually the easy path. |
| 1:55.7 | Yes. In so many ways, it is the easy path. You know, this is a lesson that I did with the group and it really |
| 2:01.9 | resonated for people. And so I thought it would be a great thing to bring up here on the podcast |
| 2:06.9 | because it's really a way of reframing the whole path of recovery as a coming home to yourself, |
