Summary
When you're feeling an urge to binge, are you thinking it's going to last forever? Are you thinking it's not going to go away? If you are, you're not going to be willing to allow the discomfort of the urge. If you don't believe that relief and comfort are coming after the urge, you're going to eat to get them ASAP.
In this episode, I'm talking about your belief in good feelings. When you feel a lot of urges or a lot of negative emotions, it can be hard to believe it will get better. When you're in the think of discomfort, it can be hard to believe it's going to go away. Listen to this episode to see how your lack of belief is affecting your eating and how you can build your belief in comfort and good feelings.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarfdy, episode number 97. |
| 0:05.5 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and |
| 0:10.6 | begin feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:16.4 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and |
| 0:20.7 | insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host show you how by giving you simple tools and insights |
| 0:21.2 | that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:28.6 | Hello, what is up? How's it going? I'm doing great. Thank you for asking. It's been so warm here. I've been loving spending more time |
| 0:42.1 | outside in the fresh air. And I've been able to see some people that I haven't seen in a while. |
| 0:47.2 | So yay for less restrictions. All right. So today we're going to talk about good feelings. But first, we're going to talk about the feelings that you don't want to be feeling. Have you ever felt an urge to binge and thought it was going to last forever if you didn't eat? Or maybe not forever. That's a little much, but you'll feel it for the days ahead or for at least the rest of |
| 1:12.6 | the day if you don't eat you think that if you don't eat the food that you're urging and craving for |
| 1:18.5 | then the urge will persist and you won't stop thinking about it it will be all you think about |
| 1:23.4 | and you will feel uncomfortable indefinitely and so you just need to eat the food to stop it all. |
| 1:30.0 | It's either a never-ending urge or eat the food. This is what led me to binge probably most of the |
| 1:36.5 | time. The urge was intense and I didn't believe that it would go away unless I ate. I didn't believe |
| 1:42.3 | that if I sat with it long enough, that it would go away and that I'd |
| 1:45.8 | feel better on the other side. I really did believe that since it was there, it was there to stay. |
| 1:52.2 | I thought this way about cravings too. I'd think that if I didn't give in to my craving for something, |
| 1:58.3 | then it would keep coming up every day until I ate it. So I just give |
| 2:02.4 | into the craving and eat it. Get it over with. But it's not just urges and cravings where this |
| 2:08.6 | can show up. It can happen with any emotion. Have you ever felt sad, heartbroken, lonely, |
| 2:15.3 | angry, grief, stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, and you believed that it |
| 2:19.4 | wouldn't go away? I think a lot of us can relate to this with heartbreak and grief. We think |
