You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 70.

Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast.

It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin feeling confident and in control around food.

You are absolutely capable of eliminating binge eating from your life.

And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and insights that you

can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it.

Oh, hey, you want to talk about boring food? Great. Let's do it. When I tell people about how I eat day to day, they usually think I am such

a weirdo. I usually eat the same breakfast six days a week. This past week, it was actually all seven.

And the only reason I eat differently on that seventh day usually is if I'm out for breakfast. And when I'm out,

I usually get the same thing no matter where I go. Then here's the other part that people don't

understand either. I usually eat the same exact dinner three or four nights a week. I live alone and

am only cooking for me. So it's just easier for me to cook for one if I do it

this way. I waste less produce and I can buy a pound of meat and use it all up while it's fresh.

I have no problem eating this way and I actually really like it. The question I get asked most

often when I tell people about this is, don't you get bored

eating the same thing over and over? And the answer is, no, I don't. Many of you out there

want a lot of variety in your food. You get bored of eating the same stuff. And I don't think

there's a problem with wanting variety. I mean, it's not like I eat the exact same

dinners every week. And I go out to eat at different restaurants and order different things rather

often. There's so many different flavors out there. Let's experience them, right? But when you get so

caught up and having variety, I'd stop and ask yourself why it's important to you.

One thing I look at is whether you actually like the food that you're eating.
