Summary
It can be hard to get out of the restrict/binge cycle. If you binge, you want to restrict but then, after restricting, you feel urges to binge on what you've been restricting. You might think you're helping yourself when you restrict but you're actually perpetuating the problem.
In this episode, you'll learn the two ways in which you might be restricting yourself, how restricting perpetuates the restrict/binge cycle, and what you can do to get out of the cycle. Listen in to find out how you'll do it.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number four. |
| 0:05.6 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.1 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:16.7 | binge eating from your life. And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and |
| 0:21.0 | insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarkdy. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.2 | Hi and welcome back. Thank you for joining me again. I am so happy to have you here. |
| 0:36.2 | Today I'm talking about a topic that you're probably quite |
| 0:40.0 | familiar with if you've ever read or listened to anything about binge eating. And it's food |
| 0:47.5 | restriction. For most people, being overly restrictive with food is what originally caused their binge eating behavior. |
| 0:56.5 | It's what caused them to start feeling urges. They'd go on restrictive diets to try and lose weight |

| 1:25.1 | about in episode number one, being overly restrictive can show up in two |
| 1:30.4 | different ways, either by under-eating or by not allowing yourself to eat the foods you want to be eating. |
| 1:37.2 | When I went on my first diet in college, I was doing both, but not in a super obvious way, or at least it wasn't obvious to me. |
| 1:47.8 | I thought I was eating the right way. I was doing what the magazines I was reading at the gym told me |
| 1:55.0 | to do. And my main focus during that time and for so many of the other times I was trying to lose weight |
| 2:01.9 | later on, was calories. I would set a calorie goal and then manipulate my eating throughout the |
| 2:08.8 | day to try and stay within it. And I didn't see a problem with it at all. I would eat enough |
| 2:15.9 | calories in a day again, according to the magazines. But knowing |
