| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 279. |
| 0:05.8 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. |
| 0:08.5 | It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin feeling confident and in control around food. |
| 0:14.2 | 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 |
| 0:21.1 | insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, cursed and safety. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.5 | Hi, today I am talking with you about when bad things happen and you want to eat because |
| 0:36.5 | sometimes in life bad things happen, sad, devastating, upsetting, unjust things happen and you want to eat because sometimes in life bad things happen sad, |
| 0:39.1 | devastating, upsetting, unjust things happen. And for many of us, those are the times when we |

| 1:32.8 | But as I said, and as you know, it's only going to be temporary. |
| 1:36.6 | And you're not really coping because you're not effectively dealing with what's difficult. |
| 1:42.9 | But I also know that sometimes people just don't care if it's |
| 1:47.6 | temporary. They're just tired of feeling how they're feeling and want to break from it. And I get that. |
| 1:53.2 | And if you want to take a break and you want to distract and even if that distraction is with food, |
| 1:58.9 | that's fine, unless it becomes a problem. |
