| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 388. |
| 0:06.4 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.9 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.4 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:21.2 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:30.1 | Hello, today I want to talk with you about giving yourself unconditional permission to eat what you |
| 0:36.1 | want. And I want to talk about this because quite often |

| 1:31.2 | You are welcome to come. That's all it means. And it's important that we separate this permission |
| 1:36.8 | from the decision that you make with the permission. They are not the same. You have permission |
| 1:43.1 | to eat what you want, when you want, |
| 1:45.5 | but then you decide what and when. So you have permission. You are invited to go to the party, |
| 1:53.3 | and then you decide if you're going to go or not. Now people tend to think that if they have |
| 1:59.4 | permission to eat what they want, then they're going to |
