| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 32. |
| 0:06.3 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.7 | 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 |
| 0:21.0 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get |
| 0:27.3 | to it. Hello, today I'm talking with you about binging because you're anticipating future |
| 0:35.8 | restrictions. Being overly restrictive with your eating is one of the |

| 1:25.6 | deprived or resentful that can cause a problem for you. |
| 1:29.6 | That's what I call being overly restrictive when you're putting restrictions on yourself |
| 1:34.1 | that you don't want, that don't feel good to you, and that you really don't need to. |
| 1:39.0 | When you do that, your resentment, deprivation, and feeling restricted can build up. |
| 1:45.8 | And at some point, |
| 1:51.2 | you might react to those feelings by eating all that you have been restricting. You finally cave and do what you haven't been allowing that you've been wanting to do. When you want something |
