You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 234.

Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin

feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating

binge eating from your life. And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and

insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it.

Hello, today's episode is going to be a little different than usual, because as you can see

by the title, I'll be talking about drinking alcohol. But don't

worry, I'll be talking about eating and binging too because this is a binge eating podcast. So in a

previous episode, I had mentioned that in 2021, I did a whole year without drinking alcohol. And I

said that if anyone is interested in hearing about it,

I do a whole episode on it. And because I did get requests for it, here it is. So it was an

interesting experience for me. And because I am a binge eating coach, I noticed there were some

similarities between drinking alcohol and eating food.

And I want to share with you what I learned. And along the way, I hope you learn a little

something about yourself too, whether it be why you have a hard time stopping binge eating,

maybe a new compelling reason for you to commit to doing the work to stopping venge eating. And

maybe if your drinking is something you're interested in changing because it affects your eating

or for any reason, really, you might learn a little something about your own drinking.

And let me be clear here before I get started that I'm not trying to convince you to change

anything about your drinking or your eating for that matter. I'm not trying to convince you to change anything about your drinking or you're eating,

for that matter. I'm just sharing my experience and what I noticed for myself and with other people.

So as always, take what you want, leave what you don't, and make decisions for yourself
