Summary
You probably want to make changes in yourself ASAP. You want your eating habits to change ASAP. So you might try to make big changes today, or tomorrow. But do those changes stick? Do you end up creating new habits? Or do you do the new things for a little bit and then stop?
If your changes aren't sticking, try making your changes smaller. In this episode, I'm talking about why the smaller changes stick better and how to make the small changes without letting your patience get the better of you. Listen in to find out how you're actually going to change and make new habits.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 323. |
| 0:06.1 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.5 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.1 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and |
| 0:21.4 | insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.9 | Hi, today I'm talking about making small changes. Too often people think they need to make |

| 0:45.5 | Well, sometimes tell ourselves that tomorrow we're going to change this and this and this. |

| 1:19.9 | energy and do what's easiest. It's just how they are. Our brains love routine and habit. |
| 1:25.9 | So when we challenge our brain to change routines and habits, |
| 1:30.0 | what it's used to doing, and do harder things that use more energy, which big changes are and |
| 1:35.7 | will do, our brain is going to resist. It's not going to be easy for us to adapt. |
| 1:41.9 | And you've probably seen so many examples of this in your own life. I use diets as |
| 1:46.2 | examples a lot because I bet most, if not all, people who listen to this podcast have gone on a diet |
| 1:51.4 | or many in their lifetime. So using that as an example here, we make big changes to what we're |
