Summary
Most people who binge eat want to be healthy. But is being healthy a good enough reason to do all the work to stop binge eating? Your health is important, obviously, but is "being healthy" a reason that makes you feel compelled to do all the hard work and to never give up on yourself? If it's not, let's make it so.
In this episode, I'm going to show you why "being healthy" isn't always the best "why" to have for stopping binge eating. I'm also going to show you how to find that reason that's so compelling that it will make giving up not an option. Listen in to find out how.

| 0:06.3 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and |
| 0:11.5 | begin feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.3 | binge eating from your life. And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:21.1 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:30.1 | Hi, how are you doing? I'm good. Let's talk about wanting to be healthy and using that as motivation to stop binge eating in my |
| 0:41.4 | stop binge eating program one of the first things that we talk about is having a compelling reason |
| 0:46.3 | to stop binge eating that compelling reason is what keeps you doing the work even when you don't |
| 0:52.5 | feel like it even when it's hard and even when you're not entirely sure that you'll be work, even when you don't feel like it, even when it's hard, and even when |
| 0:55.0 | you're not entirely sure that you'll be able to do it. You look to your compelling reason, |
| 1:00.1 | your why, to remind yourself of why doing this work is so important to you, why not doing it |
| 1:06.5 | isn't an option, and why you will be so much better off if you do the work. And it's either |
| 1:12.7 | going to make you feel motivated or it's going to get your butt in gear when you're not |
| 1:17.9 | feeling motivated. So your Y has to be compelling, something you really, really want. So you'll work |
| 1:26.1 | to get it no matter what. In all my years working with people |
| 1:30.4 | to help them stop binge eating, I have heard countless compelling reasons. And when I hear a lot |
| 1:36.8 | is health. People want to stop binge eating for their health. They want to be healthy. And I know I for |
| 1:43.7 | sure wanted that. I can't tell you how many times I had the thought, I They want to be healthy. And I know I for sure wanted that. I can't tell you how |
| 1:46.0 | many times I had the thought, I just want to be healthy. I wanted to feel healthy. I wanted my |
| 1:50.8 | body to be healthy. I wanted to be a healthy person. And I'd say most people who binge eat want the same. |
| 1:57.8 | But just saying that you want to be healthy isn't always a great compelling reason. |
| 2:04.7 | It might be, but I think you could have a better one if you dig a little deeper. |
