| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty episode number 196. |
| 0:06.1 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.5 | 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 Sarty. Now let's get |
| 0:27.2 | to it. Hi, are you always trying to be an A-plus student? Are you always trying to make sure |
| 0:36.1 | everything is done perfectly? Do you ever think |
| 0:39.3 | that if it's not perfect, then it's not good enough? Then this episode is for you. Today, I'm talking |
| 0:46.8 | about B minus mentality. And what that is is basically the opposite of perfectionism. B minus mentality is allowing yourself to not be perfect. |

| 1:30.2 | perfect is not necessarily a problem. It's okay to want things to be perfect. It's okay to strive |
| 1:36.9 | for perfection. But what matters here is how you respond when you don't achieve perfection. |
| 1:46.6 | And no matter how hard you try, |
| 1:52.5 | there will be times when you don't achieve perfection, simply because you're an imperfect human and so are the people around you that you're working with and living life with. So if your response |
| 1:59.2 | is to give up if it's not perfect, then working on having a B-minus |
| 2:03.2 | mentality might be very beneficial for you. This is because when it's either perfect or fail, |
| 2:09.9 | perfect or not good enough, all or nothing, there is going to be so much progress that is not |
