Summary
Not binge eating isn't the only thing worth celebrating. There are so many other things that deserve to be celebrated and having awareness of what you're thinking, feeling, or doing is one of them.
In this episode, I'm exploring why it's cause for celebration, why it's still considered progress even if you do binge after being aware of yourself, and why celebrating yourself in general will be helpful in stopping binge eating. Listen in to find out why.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 251. |
| 0:05.8 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. |
| 0:08.3 | 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, |
| 0:18.3 | 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 Sarkty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.5 | Hi. Today I'm talking about celebrating awareness and about seeing awareness as progress. So this topic |
| 0:37.0 | came to mind when I was coaching one of my group |
| 0:38.8 | members about a recent binge that she had had. As she was telling me about it, she said that |
| 0:45.2 | usually when she binges, she is on autopilot, barely or not at all aware of what she's doing. |
| 0:52.4 | But this time, she was fully aware, yet she did it anyway. |
| 0:56.5 | She was really disappointed about this because she thought that once she was conscious and was |

| 1:17.4 | But before that, we worked on her judgment of herself with this binge. She was looking at |
| 1:24.9 | herself making this conscious choice to binge as something that was bad. |
| 1:29.5 | That's why she was feeling so badly about it. But I gave her a different perspective. |
| 1:36.1 | I remember doing the same thing after my last out-of-control binge. I made a conscious decision |
| 1:43.4 | to go and buy a bunch of food knowing I would eat |
| 1:47.0 | it all. I didn't feel out of control and I wasn't zoned out. I was aware and present the whole time. |
| 1:53.8 | And afterward, I saw it as progress. I was aware and didn't feel out of control. And I saw that as a win. Something was changing |
