| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 297. |
| 0:06.2 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.6 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.2 | binge eating from your life. And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools |
| 0:21.3 | and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.6 | Hello, let's jump right in. Do you ever eat just because everyone else is? Even though you're not hungry, or even though you're full, |
| 0:40.0 | or even though you don't really want to. And then later you wish you hadn't. Well, in this |
| 0:45.7 | episode, I'm going to help you to stop doing that, to stop using other people eating as a reason |
| 0:50.6 | for why you're eating when you don't really want to be eating. And I'll start with |
| 0:56.1 | the most common reason why people do it, why they eat when other people aren't eating, even if |

| 1:32.2 | awkward is our thoughts about the situation. We make it awkward in our mind. If I'm not eating while |
| 1:40.1 | everyone else is, I'm only going to make it uncomfortable and awkward for myself if I'm |
| 1:45.1 | thinking it's awkward, if I'm thinking I'm being weird, if I think I'm not connecting with the |
| 1:49.8 | other person, or if I think I should be eating. Again, the situation isn't awkward. We feel |
| 1:55.9 | awkward and our feelings come from our thoughts, not what we're doing or not doing. I don't eat when |
| 2:03.0 | other people are eating sometimes and I don't feel awkward because I'm not thinking it's awkward or |
| 2:08.5 | weird or uncomfortable or that I should be eating because they are. So we need to stop saying |
| 2:13.5 | that not eating when other people are is uncomfortable or awkward. It's not. You just make it |
