Summary
Sometimes when I ask people why they do what they do, or think what they think, they tell me, "It's just a habit." It's true that it's a habit but, there's more to the story.
In this episode, I'm talking about how people think about their habits and how you can get started on changing them. You don't need to feel powerless when it comes to changing habits. Listen in to find out what steps you're going to take to make the change happen.

| 0:06.1 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.6 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.2 | binge eating from your life. And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:20.9 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.9 | Hi, how are you? I'm great. Things are great. Life is good. And I've been doing some really fun stuff. And I have some |
| 0:39.2 | other fun stuff coming up too. And I hope the same for you. If not, get on it and make the fun |

| 0:53.1 | habits that you don't want to have. We all have so many |

| 1:33.7 | habits, they feel powerless. They think that if it's a habit, if it's so automatic, if it happens |
| 1:39.8 | so quickly that if they don't even notice they're doing it, then either there's no way to stop it |

| 1:53.4 | sometimes, but not always and it's not always as hard as we think it will be. And if you are going |
