Summary
Are you lacking fulfilling connection in your life? I was, during the years when I was binge eating. Sure I did have some but it wasn't enough. And when I was craving it, too often, I'd eat food instead of connecting with people. I used food to try and fix my loneliness instead of giving myself what I was really needing.
Although I'm still not great at connecting as much as I'd like to, I've gotten a lot better. I've also gotten better at not letting any loneliness I do feel lead me into a binge.
In this episode, I'm going to help you to create more fulfilling connection in your life too. Food isn't going to satisfy your craving for connection. What will, is spending time with people. Listen as I'll help you overcome whatever it is that's stopping you from doing it.

| 0:21.1 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get |
| 0:27.5 | to it. Hi, this episode today is about getting more fulfilling connection in your life. |
| 0:36.3 | I wanted to do this episode because when I was binge eating, |
| 0:39.0 | there were lots of times when I was lacking fulfilling connection. And I think it really |
| 0:44.7 | affected my eating in a negative way. Now, I'm using the word fulfilling because there's a |
| 0:50.9 | difference between just connecting and having fulfilling connection. |
| 0:55.8 | Like, I could connect with the cashier at the grocery store, but it's not really going to fulfill me. |
| 1:01.2 | It's not really going to have much of an impact on me. |
| 1:04.9 | Or like when I've had roommates, we could connect through small talk, but it's not really |
| 1:09.5 | impacting me. |
| 1:12.7 | But when I'm connecting on a deeper level with someone, or when we're talking in depth about something important to me or something |
| 1:17.5 | I'm interested in, it feels so different. It fills me up in such a better way. Now, it wasn't like |
| 1:25.8 | I had zero fulfilling connection during the years when I was binge eating. |
| 1:30.9 | I definitely did have some. For most of those years, I had close friends that I would connect with |
| 1:35.6 | in meaningful ways and it would be fulfilling and I would feel connected and it was great. |
