Summary
Too many people spend too much time hating their body, or at least disliking them. There's a lot of encouragement for people to love their body but for some people, that just isn't a realistic goal right now. They can't see how they can think about it any differently.
What I'm offering in this episode is a middle ground. A place between hating and loving that will allow you to feel better and therefore not let your body hold you back from doing anything. You don't have to wait until you reach your ideal weight in order to feel better. You can feel better now. Listen in as I teach you how.

| 0:21.4 | apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:28.6 | Hi, how are you? I'm going to imagine that you answered that by saying you're great and I'll |
| 0:34.9 | tell you right back that I am the same. Today's episode is all about your |
| 0:40.6 | body. What are your thoughts about your body? Do you love it? Hate it? Kind of like it. Kind of don't. |
| 0:47.8 | It's a question I've been asking all my clients when we first start working together, and although |
| 0:51.4 | some of them are content with their body, a lot of them |
| 0:55.0 | hate it, or at least dislike it. There's been many times in the past when I've been unhappy with |
| 1:00.4 | my body, sometimes as a whole and sometimes just parts of it. I don't think I've ever said that I |
| 1:06.5 | hated it, but maybe there were times when I did. I don't know. But because I was so unhappy with it, |
| 1:11.9 | I wanted so badly to change it. And because I was binge eating, I was having a really hard time doing it. |
| 1:18.6 | I was unhappy with my body so I'd restrict my food in an unhealthy way so I could lose weight, |
| 1:23.6 | which would then lead to binging and I'd be back where I started and super disappointed. Or I'd feel |
| 1:29.1 | embarrassed by it and I'd isolate myself and not go out and not date because I didn't like how I |
| 1:34.8 | looked and I'd blame my binging for all of it and blame myself for being that way. And I'd usually |
| 1:40.3 | binge when I was in that space. Not a fun place to be. All those negative thoughts about my body |
| 1:45.9 | were causing me to feel negatively, which then drove me to take negative actions. It was not at all |
| 1:51.4 | useful for me to think so badly about my body, but I didn't know how else to think. I didn't want to |
