Have you had an issue with binge eating? Emotional eating? That’s exactly what Megan and I

[00:00:00]Starting close to my 30s before I met my girl, that I said like I kind of feel like I'm dating food. If I had nothing to do on a Friday night and I didn't want to go to the bar by myself or with younger guys, try that. Bars terrible place. So then I just find myself smoking weed, ordering in Skip the Dishes. There was this brief moment of just like I feel complete here. But then I met my girl. I certainly still had splurges, but if she was over, I really didn't binge much. It's actually discussion with Jordan Sayat. He had mentioned how binge eaters eat alone.

[00:00:25]I'm like, "Well, [ __ ] That's That just makes sense." So I stopped allowing myself. The reason why I am able to justify this is because the thing that I got lucky with is that I found a partner. And so I found that I could get away from this coping mechanism. But I'm curious, what were some big ones for you that helped you get in a better position?

[00:00:40]>> So for me it was almost the opposite.

[00:00:41]Like my husband and I when we first started dating, he was very much so still in that like that phase of his life where like that's where we met up with everyone was going out to the bars.

[00:00:48]That would turn into late-night ordering or going to the grocery store and getting pints of ice cream and like eating those in bed together. He did not help my binging.

[00:00:55]>> [laughter] >> Then it was just kind of like, oh, like this is just what we do. But for me it was more of like this internal battle of I just did all that. I've been so good all week. I feel like crap. There were instances where like if he would go home after or like I wasn't staying at his place where I would then make myself purge. And these were all things that he didn't understand were going on under the surface or happening behind closed doors, literally. When we decided to get married, it was more of for me of I can't bring this into a marriage. That can't be a part of it. The partner side of it was harmful and helpful.
