| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarfdy, episode number 249. |
| 0:05.9 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.3 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:16.9 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and |
| 0:21.2 | insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:30.0 | Hi, how are you doing? Good? Good. Let's jump right in and talk about judging your emotions. This is an important topic because |
| 0:40.5 | for a lot of you, one reason why you binge eat is because you're eating to avoid numb or |

| 1:42.2 | it'll pass and you'll feel better and you'll feel a lot better |
| 1:46.0 | doing it this way, the slower way than trying to feel better quickly by eating a lot of food. |
| 1:52.2 | Now, this is totally doable for you and you are capable of doing this, but it's probably going to be |
| 1:57.7 | challenging at first if you're someone who hasn't allowed themselves to feel their emotions for a long time. And it's also going to be challenging at first if you're someone who hasn't allowed themselves to feel |
