Summary
Many people who binge eat tend to visualize failure more than success. It makes sense that they do this because they've seen themselves binge so many times, again and again, when put in the same circumstances. But whether it makes sense or not, it needs to stop. It's perpetuating more bingeing.
In this episode, I'm talking about how visualizing success and failure will effect whether you binge or not and how you can start visualizing success more often. It's possible for you to have more belief in yourself. Listen in to find out how you'll do it.

| 0:06.5 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:12.0 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.6 | binge eating from your life. And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and insights that you can |
| 0:23.1 | apply in your own life. |
| 0:24.7 | I'm your host, Kirst and Sarfdy. |

| 0:34.8 | And I want to talk about this because when people have been binging for a long time |
| 0:39.7 | and have had the same experiences with their eating over and over, they tend to visualize |
| 0:46.3 | failure instead. They imagine that the past is going to keep repeating. I was actually just |
| 0:54.1 | coaching one of my group members on this |
| 0:55.8 | today. She was imagining that after eating a joy food, she would binge later. She was also imagining |
| 1:02.4 | that she was going to feel urges and feelings all day and it was going to be a ton of work. |

| 1:21.5 | what the rest of her day would be like. And this was a problem because when she did, she felt anxious. And when you feel |
| 1:30.3 | anxious, you're probably not going to act in the most rational and logical ways. For most of us, |
| 1:36.3 | when we feel anxious, we start to become unfocused, maybe a little scatterbrained, which for someone |
| 1:41.4 | who struggles with binge eating and is trying to stop, that's not going to be |
| 1:44.4 | useful. You want to feel focused and have at least some confidence so you can handle an urge |
