| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 398. |
| 0:06.7 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating podcast. |
| 0:09.4 | It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin feeling confident and in control around food. |
| 0:15.1 | You are absolutely capable of eliminating binge eating from your life. |
| 0:19.5 | And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:21.5 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirsten Sarfdy. Now let's get |
| 0:27.9 | to it. Hello, let's jump right in and talk about eating when nobody will know. For most people, their binging happens in private. I know for me |

| 1:30.8 | In today's episode, I'm talking more about those times when it's intentional that a lot of food |
| 1:36.7 | is going to be eaten because this is your chance to do it. This is your opportunity because nobody |
| 1:43.8 | is going to know. And I want to talk about that |
| 1:47.0 | reason behind the eating that nobody will know. Like I said, this is usually a thought that comes |
| 1:53.7 | up when a binge is premeditated. That can be just moments before the binge or days before. |
| 2:00.4 | It can happen for people sometimes when they live |
