| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 139. |
| 0:06.7 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:12.0 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.6 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:21.3 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:30.1 | Hi, if you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you've heard me talk often about your thoughts and your feelings. And if you're |

| 1:27.7 | even notice it, but it was there. Thoughts sometimes show up as words in our mind. You can clearly |
| 1:35.8 | notice the sentences you're thinking. And sometimes they're extremely quick interpretations that |
| 1:41.0 | aren't showing up as language. Now later we could probably put them into |
| 1:45.3 | language if we wanted to just to make sense of them. But when they're happening, there's no words. |
| 1:51.1 | Like think of a dog. Dogs think but not in language. And before humans had language, they still |
| 1:56.8 | had thoughts. If we wanted to put words to those thoughts now, it would probably be so simple, |
| 2:02.6 | like danger, scary, good, bad, want, right? So before you binge, you may be having one of those |
