A simple shift in what you're thinking can make a big difference in how you feel and what you do. Listen in so you can learn how you're going to do this for yourself with your unhelpful beliefs.

| 0:06.0 | 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. |
| 0:14.2 | 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 |
| 0:21.1 | insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarkty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.6 | Hi. One of the most important things that you need to work on to stop binge eating is changing |
| 0:34.9 | what you believe. For you, it might be what you believe about you, |
| 0:39.0 | about binge eating, about your emotions, about your urges, about your body, or about food. |
