Summary
You ate off your eating plan, you went over your calorie goal, or you ate more than you said you would. You blew it. You ruined everything.
But did you really?
This way of thinking is an example of being "all or nothing." Either you were good or bad with no in between. It's extremely important to find the gray area in your black or white thinking and in this episode I'm talking about why and how to do it. Wouldn't it be nice to overeat a little and not binge? It's possible and I'm going to show you how to make it happen.

| 0:05.1 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:10.4 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |

| 0:28.8 | Hi, how are you? Are you amazing? Terrible? Somewhere in the middle. I'm going to assume that you are |
| 0:36.7 | somewhere in the middle, and this is a good that you are somewhere in the middle and this is a good |
| 0:39.0 | place to be. When it comes to something like asking how you're doing, it's easy for us to say that |
| 0:44.7 | we're good, okay, not bad. But when it comes to eating, some of you have a really hard time |
| 0:50.5 | living in the middle. You consider yourself an all or nothing person. Your eating is |

| 1:01.5 | And if you've decided that you've completely failed, then this means that you're a failure. |
| 1:05.8 | Something's wrong with you and you should just give up entirely. As soon as you make a mistake, |
| 1:09.8 | even just a little one, |
| 1:11.2 | then everything you truly want for yourself long term is out the window. This used to happen to me |
| 1:17.0 | with my calories back in the day when I used to count them. Not all the time, which is interesting, |
| 1:22.2 | but sometimes. I'd go over my goal even just a little and I'd declare my day as bad and just keep eating more. |
