Summary
Do you ever stop to consider what your future self would want you to do when you're making an eating decision? Most people who binge eat don't and they end up just doing whatever feels good in the moment.
In this episode, I'm talking about the concept of your future self, why it's important to consider them, and how to access your own inner wisdom so you end up doing what you really want to do. You really do know more than you think you do.

| 0:36.3 | topic. The future. Actually, you and the future, |
| 0:42.2 | your future self. This person does not exist yet, only in our minds, but they will. And too often, |
| 0:50.3 | they are not considered. All it's considered is what your present self wants, what you want now. |
| 0:57.1 | Your present self wants to feel comfortable instead of feeling urges. Your present self wants a |
| 1:02.5 | whole tray of brownies because they'll taste yummy. And your present self wants to do what's easy. |
