Summary

When you're deciding to eat, or deciding to eat more, what are you thinking about? How good it will taste? How pleasurable it will be? How good you will feel? That's all fine to think about but, is that all that will happen if you eat?

For many people, when they're deciding to eat, they're only telling themselves about what will happen at first, a.k.a. the beginning of the story. But what about what will happen at the end? The end matters, it's coming, and if it's likely not going to turn out well, you need to be thinking about that. You need to tell yourself the whole story of eating that food or of eating more, all the way until the end.

In this episode, I'm going in depth about why it's so important that you're telling yourself the whole story and what can happen if you don't. This is going to be a really helpful tool for you to use so listen in to learn about it and how to use it.

0:06.4	Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin
0:11.9	feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating
0:17.4	binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple
0:21.2	tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it.
0:30.1	Hi, today I want to talk about a concept that many of my group members have found to be helpful,
0:36.2	which is telling yourself the whole story.
0:40.3	What I mean by the whole story is what will happen from right now until you finish eating
0:47.1	and after you finished eating. It's telling yourself what will happen if you eat more.
0:53.1	It's telling yourself what will happen if you go to the store, buy all that food, and eat it all.
0:58.9	Too often, people are only telling themselves the beginning of the story.
1:04.2	That was what I used to do when I wanted to eat more or when I wanted to binge.
1:08.4	I'd think about going to the store and how fun it would be to pick out what I was going to eat. I'd think about going to the store and how fun it would be to pick
1:11.4	out what I was going to eat. I'd think about how good the food would taste, how much I would enjoy it,
1:16.7	how good it would feel. When I'd start eating, I'd think about how yummy it is and how yummy more would
1:22.3	be and I enjoy just eating without a care. I'd think that what I was eating was so good and I wanted more
1:29.4	good. I'd think that eating more would be more goodness. I was just thinking about right now and the
1:36.7	immediate immediate future when I'd eat my next bite. That was it. I wasn't thinking about how
1:42.3	eating all that food would affect me. I wasn't thinking about
1:45.1	how I'd feel after eating all that food. Or maybe I would think about it, but I'd lie to myself about it and tell
1:52.6	myself I'd feel fine. When countless times before, when I'd done the same thing or something very
