Summary
How do you describe yourself? Your body? Your life? If you're describing them negatively, it's likely having more of an effect on you and your eating then you think. And it doesn't have to be this way.
In this episode, I'm talking about how you describe things about yourself, how it affects you, and how to create a more positive effect. You have authority over the words you choose and choosing more useful ones will make a big difference for you. Listen in to find out how you'll do it.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirst and Sarty, episode number 311. |
| 0:06.1 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.5 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.1 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools |
| 0:21.2 | and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:30.0 | Hello, if you were to describe yourself, what would you say? What kinds of descriptors would you use? And if you were to describe your |
| 0:41.9 | body, what words and descriptions would you use? If you were to describe your eating habits and your |
| 0:49.0 | relationship with food, what would you say? If you were to describe your life, how would you describe it? |
| 0:56.7 | I'd suggest that you really take some time to answer those questions. Write down your |
| 1:02.5 | answers. See what comes up. Because your answers to these questions matter a lot. |
| 1:10.0 | How you describe these different things about yourself is going |

| 1:21.7 | eat the way you do. So often we use the self-descriptors we use and don't think much about them, usually because |
| 1:30.9 | we think they're just facts. We think that how we're describing ourselves, our bodies, the food we |
| 1:36.7 | eat, how we eat, our relationship with food, and our lives is factually how they are. But most of the time, it's not. Most of the time, |
| 1:47.5 | it's just our opinion. And when our opinion is negative, it's going to create negative outcomes |
| 1:54.7 | for us. Our self-descriptors aren't just insignificant words. They're very significant. Those words we choose to describe |
| 2:03.9 | ourselves with are going to make us feel emotions. We're going to feel something when we use those words. |
| 2:11.9 | And whether we feel good or bad is going to be determined by those words, by the descriptors we choose. And not only are we going |
| 2:19.9 | to feel good or bad, how we behave is going to be affected by that good or bad feeling. Those |
| 2:26.7 | good or bad feelings are going to drive us to act in good or bad ways, desirable or undesirable |
| 2:33.0 | ways in ways we want to or ways we don't. |
