You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 318.

Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast.

It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin feeling confident and in control around food.

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 insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it.

Hi. In today's episode, I want to clearly define the different types of eating you might experience

and help you to set realistic goals with

each type. And this is important because many people get frustrated with themselves because they

set goals that are actually unrealistic and they're just not able to achieve them. So they try to eliminate certain behaviors

that are very difficult to eliminate completely and also not always necessary to eliminate.

What usually happens is that they try to become a perfect eater. And perfection with your eating

is not only very difficult to maintain but again it's also

not always necessary and can just add unnecessary stress obsession guilt and deprivation to your life

so let's make sure that doesn't happen to you so first i begin with listing out the different types of eating that you might experience.

These are the ones that people who binge eat most commonly engage in. And I'll give you the basic

definition for each. So first there is, of course, binge eating, which can be described as eating an excessive

amount of food in a short period of time, usually to the point of feeling extremely full,

while feeling out of control, usually eating quickly, and afterward feeling intense shame

and other negative emotions.

Overeating is a less intense version of binge eating.

Either you're eating past full but not in as much excess as binge eating.
