You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 327.

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 Sarkty. Now let's get to it.

Hi, most of us spend a lot of time thinking about who we're going to be when we reach a goal. When you reach the goal of

stopping binge eating, you probably imagine what you'll be like, how you'll feel, how you'll

act, and how you'll identify yourself. And you probably think it will all be great. So you feel great

just thinking about it as long as you believe that it's actually possible for you to get

there. But how much time do you spend thinking about who you want to be until you get there?

That's not something most of us tend to think about as often or at all. But it's so important that

you do because if you're not being intentional

about how you will show up while you're in the process of stopping binge eating, you might end

up showing up in ways that are going to slow down your progress or even stop it. Who you decide to

be will affect how you feel, how you act, and the results you get. And you get to

decide who you want to be as you go through this process. Now, you might not have realized that.

You might not have realized that you don't have to be pessimistic, negative, hard on yourself,

frustrated or apathetic as you go through the

process of stopping binge eating. You might instead think that that's just how you are.

Or think that that's just what the process is supposed to look like. Like it's like that for

everyone. And that's what it's supposed to be like when you work on big goals. But no.
