Summary
It's not fun to feel discouraged. A mistake, fail, or misstep happens and discouragement stops you in your tracks and prevents you from taking action to move forward.
If you want to keep going, you have to overcome your discouragement. You have to understand why you're feeling it and what you need to do to not let it stop you. When you work toward a big goal, it's going to come up. Listen to this episode to find out what to do when it does.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarfdy, episode number 49. |
| 0:05.9 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.4 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:16.9 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and |
| 0:21.3 | insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:28.9 | Hi. How are you feeling? Have you felt any discouragement lately? I have and it's not super fun. As you've been trying to stop binge eating |
| 0:42.7 | for all these years, how many times have you felt discouraged? It wouldn't be surprising to me |
| 0:48.2 | if you told me it's happened dozens or hundreds of times. When you're working toward a big |
| 0:53.7 | goal like this, mistakes, |
| 0:55.7 | fails, and setbacks are going to happen. And for most people, with them comes discouragement. |
| 1:01.8 | The discouragement might come after a series of many mistakes. You see yourself binge and binge |

| 1:11.0 | the first few times, eventually the discouragement sets in at some point. You start believing |

| 1:23.2 | you're discouraged, you try one thing, one time, it doesn't work, and now you think you can't do it. |
| 1:29.2 | Then there's the most unfortunate one. The one when you're successful for a long period of time, |
| 1:35.8 | whatever that means to you, it could be multiple days in a row, weeks or months, and then it happens. |
| 1:43.2 | You binge after all that time. So much work, so much success, |
| 1:48.0 | and now you're back where you started. You can't believe you binged. Guess you aren't as successful as |
| 1:54.7 | you thought you were, right? Hmm. We've all felt discouraged, whether it be in one or all of those types of scenarios. |
| 2:03.0 | And what do you do when you feel discouraged? You beat yourself up. You give up. You stop trying. |
| 2:07.8 | You take a break. Not much that's good, not anything that's going to lead into action. |
