Summary
Failure stops so many people. Either they're afraid to fail so they don't even try, or they do fail and make it mean nothing will work.
But failing can actually be a useful thing if you do it right. It can help you succeed and help you build confidence in yourself. In this episode, I'm showing you how and helping you see failing in a completely different way that will change how you react to it.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarfdy episode number 18. |
| 0:05.6 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. |
| 0:08.4 | It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin feeling confident and in control around food. |
| 0:14.1 | You are absolutely capable of eliminating binge eating from your life. |
| 0:18.4 | And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and |
| 0:21.0 | insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.4 | Hi, welcome back. So glad to have you here, and I know you're probably busy, and I seriously |
| 0:36.0 | applaud you for taking a few minutes out of your day |
| 0:38.4 | to work on yourself improvement. Today, I'm talking about failing. It's something so many people |
| 0:46.5 | are afraid of. It's something so many people don't want to ever experience, and when they do, |
| 0:52.1 | they make it mean terrible things about themselves. You're weak. You |
| 0:56.4 | can't do it. Nothing will ever work for you. You're doomed. All because you failed. You may think |

| 1:17.0 | two of my favorites, which I think are the most relevant to binge eating. And they are. |
| 1:22.8 | To be unsuccessful in achieving one's goal. To behave in a way contrary to hopes or expectations by not doing something. So you set a goal and you didn't achieve it. You had hopes and expectations and didn't behave in the way that you had planned. That's it. You set a goal to not binge and you binge that doesn't have to mean all the terrible |
| 1:45.9 | things you make it mean. You expected to not give in to your urge by doing the things you've learned |
| 1:50.7 | to do and you didn't do them and instead you gave in. That also does not have to mean all the |
| 1:56.0 | terrible things you make it mean. Not achieving a goal and not doing what you expected mean nothing until you give |
| 2:03.6 | them meaning and the meaning you give them is up to you. What you might have been doing is beating |
| 2:09.0 | yourself up when you fail and labeling yourself as a failure and thinking how much you hate |
