| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond. I'm Dr. Deb Butler, Master Life and Weight Coach, |
| 0:10.0 | and your coach. And today is episode number 31, the big D. And D stands for detachment. |

| 0:22.7 | This is really just a short, sweet episode, but I think it's got a lot of meat to it. |
| 0:29.8 | So stay tuned. |

| 1:55.2 | And this is how she defines codependency. |
| 1:58.9 | A codependent is one who has let another person's behavior affect him or her |
| 2:05.5 | and is obsessed with controlling that person's behavior. Hmm. Now, I can only speak for myself |
| 2:13.6 | when I say that I may be just a little codependent. And I think I know a lot of women who are just |
