Summary
This episode is all about escaping yourself. When you binge, that's exactly what you're doing. You're trying to get away from your thoughts, your feelings, and/or your urges. Eating is your way to get away from yourself for that moment.
So I want you to see what happens when you do that. Escaping doesn't result in zero consequences and your life might be a heck of a lot better if you stop escaping and just stay with your thoughts and feelings. Listen in to this episode to hear why avoiding doesn't make your life any better and how you can experience more good with less negative consequences.

| 0:05.2 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:10.5 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:16.1 | binge eating from your life and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and |
| 0:20.4 | insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host show you how by giving you simple tools and insights that you can |
| 0:21.6 | apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirsten Sarfdy. Now let's get to it. Hi, how are you? I hope you're good. |
| 0:32.6 | I'm good. And I'm ready to talk about escaping yourself. What this is about is not wanting to experience |
| 0:41.9 | yourself or your life fully. It's about only wanting to experience parts of yourself or parts of |
| 0:50.0 | your life, the parts that you want rather than being present with all of it. |
| 0:56.3 | When you're not willing to be with life and with you, you use food to try and to create |
| 1:05.6 | better, to hide away, to not have to deal, you use food to escape whatever is happening in that moment. |

| 1:20.5 | Some of the things I hear most often are that you're thinking about food a lot. You're feeling |

| 1:28.6 | just feeling an urge. Something is happening that you don't want to happen. Thoughts and feelings are |
| 1:36.3 | happening. And there may also be things around you that are happening too that you don't want to |
| 1:42.1 | happen. People are doing things and saying things |
