This is the third installment of the back to basics series in October.
You’re probably thinking October 1 marks the beginning of the holiday season and you wouldn’t be alone. You might also be thinking well I didn’t lose weight again this year, I guess I'll just wait till the new year. But it doesn't have to be that way.
The Back to Basics series will teach you the fundamentals of losing weight anytime and anywhere, regardless of what season it is.
The third basic is Cravings and What To Do With Them!
Managing cravings is an ongoing process within our brains and bodies. Having a craving for something is not a sign that something has gone wrong, or that you can’t “stick to” something.
It’s absolutely normal and natural for your brain to remember something that you’ve eaten in the past and bring it up to the forefront and propose that idea as a solution to the current emotion you are having. Your brain is very efficient at doing this–searching in the past for a solution and then offering it up, regardless of your current way of eating.
You don’t actually have to obey every craving or worry that they are still coming.
Follow my allowing process that you’ll hear in this episode and you’ll be well on your way to knowing what to do when your lower brain offers up the next thing it thinks you should eat!

00:00:00.055 --> 00:00:02.214
This is the Eat Well, Think Well, Live Well podcast.
00:00:02.455 --> 00:00:07.195
I'm Lisa Saulsbury, and this is episode 65 back to basics.
00:00:07.245 --> 00:00:09.074
Cravings and what to do with them
00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:17.740
Welcome to Eat Well, Think Well, Live Well; the podcast for women who want to lose weight, but are tired of counting and calculating all the food.
00:00:18.370 --> 00:00:19.931
I'm your host, Lisa Salsbury.
00:00:20.321 --> 00:00:25.981
I'm a certified health and weight loss coach and life coach, and most importantly a recovered chronic dieter.
00:00:26.591 --> 00:00:32.530
I'll teach you to figure out why you are eating when you aren't hungry, instead of worrying so much about what you are eating.
00:00:35.384 --> 00:00:36.015
Hey, everyone.
00:00:36.255 --> 00:00:39.645
Back with you with another back to basics episode.
00:00:39.645 --> 00:00:47.685
I hope that you are getting a lot out of these, especially those of you that did not listen back when I first started the podcast, I know it's always good.
00:00:47.715 --> 00:00:49.094
Like I said, for a review.
00:00:49.545 --> 00:00:59.054
But especially for those that have never heard these concept, I hope that this is really helping you lay the foundation for some of the things you've probably heard me talk about just in passing.
00:00:59.414 --> 00:01:02.384
So today we're going to be talking about cravings.
00:01:02.835 --> 00:01:15.465
I think this is probably the most important topic for a lot of my clients, because it's the thing that gets them really stuck the most in overeating is what they call cravings.
00:01:15.765 --> 00:01:23.204
Before we jump into that, I want to remind you that I do have those free get unstuck sessions I'm doing this month.
00:01:23.564 --> 00:01:28.094
So I know the availability is a little bit limited and I apologize ahead of time for that.
00:01:28.094 --> 00:01:32.114
If you are not finding something that works for your schedule, honestly, and I really.
00:01:32.114 --> 00:01:36.855
Really mean this, please feel free to send me an email and say, Hey, here are some times that I can make work.
00:01:37.125 --> 00:01:38.114
What have you got?
00:01:38.144 --> 00:01:39.915
And we will find a time for you.
00:01:39.915 --> 00:01:42.344
So I know it's really limited in there.
00:01:42.375 --> 00:01:47.025
And once all 10 get scheduled, they will go away because I am only doing 10 of those.
00:01:47.325 --> 00:01:56.444
But if you are listening to the podcast and you have not lost your first five pounds, just by the tools I'm giving you for free, it is time for me to take a look and see what's going on.
00:01:56.495 --> 00:02:00.935
I want you to get unstuck and that's why I am doing these free.
00:02:00.965 --> 00:02:01.745
Free sessions.
00:02:01.954 --> 00:02:06.454
So let's jump into today's episode and start with defining a craving.
00:02:06.950 --> 00:02:12.020
I define a craving as an intense desire caused by your thinking.
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.280
This is an emotion or a feeling, depending on which word you like.
00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:22.460
And we can have cravings actually for lots of things, shopping, gambling, sex, exercise.
00:02:22.969 --> 00:02:26.659
But today we're just going to stick with cravings as they relate to food.
00:02:27.532 --> 00:02:32.213
A lot of times we think that cravings are more dependent on the situation.
00:02:32.544 --> 00:02:36.503
Like, well, I saw a donut and then I had this craving.
00:02:36.804 --> 00:02:45.084
So rather than thinking that cravings are caused by your thinking, a lot of times you might believe that cravings are caused by your situation.
00:02:45.413 --> 00:02:52.403
And that would be a circumstance and the model that I teach, but it is really not the donut or the cookie that is sitting there.
00:02:52.403 --> 00:02:53.424
That is the problem.
00:02:53.454 --> 00:02:55.313
It's the thought that you have about it.
00:02:55.614 --> 00:03:02.003
Because if it were a shrimp cocktail sitting there on the table for free, I would just be able to walk right past it.
00:03:02.484 --> 00:03:05.843
And not have any thought except for gross.
00:03:06.174 --> 00:03:06.533
Right?
00:03:06.563 --> 00:03:08.574
If it's something you do not enjoy.
00:03:09.054 --> 00:03:11.843
You're not going to have a desire for it.
00:03:11.843 --> 00:03:16.463
So that's why we know that these cravings are caused by your thinking.
00:03:16.463 --> 00:03:23.063
So usually when we have a craving, we are wanting to eat something that we aren't physically hungry for.
00:03:23.123 --> 00:03:25.044
That's typically what people describe.
00:03:25.524 --> 00:03:29.243
I also though use the word urge interchangeably with craving.
00:03:29.514 --> 00:03:43.493
So just in case I do that here in the podcast, you'll know what I'm talking about, but sometimes I do prefer that word urge because it's a little more broad than a craving because it also encompasses the desire for say, like having seconds.
00:03:43.794 --> 00:03:50.574
Not just the desire to eat a sweet or salty item when you're bored or sad or confused or tired or frustrated all those times.
00:03:51.114 --> 00:04:05.153
And when I'm talking about the desire to have seconds here as a craving or urge, I use that word seconds and kind of air quotes, because what I'm talking about there is when we've gotten to that positive three on the hunger scale, that enough feeling.
00:04:05.633 --> 00:04:10.163
Then anything after that, any eating that happens after that point?
00:04:10.554 --> 00:04:13.014
Would be considered a craving or an urge.
00:04:13.527 --> 00:04:18.298
It's a desire to have more food beyond our physical hunger.
00:04:18.687 --> 00:04:26.067
So I just call it seconds because often we dish up what we think is probably the amount that will fill us to enough.
00:04:26.127 --> 00:04:28.017
And then we're like, that was delicious.
00:04:28.017 --> 00:04:29.458
I think I'll have more.
00:04:30.177 --> 00:04:39.898
Other times it can just be the rest of the food on the plate is getting us to our, beyond our three or four, but it's just kind of an easy term to use the word seconds.
00:04:40.533 --> 00:04:44.312
I think that the word urge really encompasses this situation.
00:04:44.343 --> 00:04:49.952
Well, because craving sometimes make us think of wanting to eat something sweet or salty.
00:04:50.372 --> 00:04:52.473
When we aren't currently eating.
00:04:52.833 --> 00:04:58.083
Urge can be the push to just continue eating more when we are already eating.
00:04:58.622 --> 00:05:05.223
So when we talk about cravings, especially to each other, as women, we often say like, we just couldn't help it.
00:05:05.552 --> 00:05:10.562
We feel sort of out of control around food, like we're eating against our will.
00:05:11.012 --> 00:05:20.642
I remember one time being in the gym a few years ago, and I was stretching next to some women and we were talking and one gal was saying, You know, I buy bread for my kids' sandwiches.
00:05:20.702 --> 00:05:22.473
So there it is on the counter.
00:05:22.473 --> 00:05:24.843
And I mean, how do I not eat the bread?
00:05:25.442 --> 00:05:27.603
And I really did feel for this woman.
00:05:27.632 --> 00:05:31.773
I did not jump in and start coaching her just in case you're worried.
00:05:32.192 --> 00:05:33.512
I just smiled and nodded.
00:05:34.892 --> 00:05:39.572
But she really thought her only choice was to eat the bread because it was there.
00:05:39.872 --> 00:05:43.023
She didn't have any other option, but to give in to her craving.
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.060
We haven't talked about bread or cookies or chips.
00:05:46.089 --> 00:05:47.470
And it's like, well, it was there.
00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:48.819
Like I had to eat it.
00:05:49.540 --> 00:05:55.149
I have this other client and she would tell me, well, I made cupcakes this weekend, but I didn't want to eat the rest.
00:05:55.180 --> 00:05:56.560
So I just threw them away.
00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:00.040
And again, that felt like her only choice.
00:06:01.149 --> 00:06:05.500
She was thinking I can't have them in the house or I absolutely will eat them.
00:06:06.370 --> 00:06:09.129
Incidentally, this made her family kind of mad.
00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:12.699
But that was what she felt like her only solution was.
00:06:13.726 --> 00:06:16.937
These two examples of either I have to eat it because it's there.
00:06:17.656 --> 00:06:19.487
Or I just have to throw it away.
00:06:19.937 --> 00:06:22.336
Seem to sometimes be our only options.
00:06:22.666 --> 00:06:27.166
When cravings are really strong, it feels like the food is in charge of the decisions.
00:06:27.586 --> 00:06:31.156
We check out mentally and just let the food, tell us how much to eat.
00:06:31.547 --> 00:06:34.067
And usually it's the amount that's left.
00:06:34.817 --> 00:06:35.086
Right.
00:06:35.086 --> 00:06:40.747
We need to clean our plate or finish the bag or the container or eat all of the rest of the cupcakes.
00:06:41.406 --> 00:06:42.877
But there really is another way.
00:06:42.877 --> 00:06:44.437
And that's what I want to teach you today.
00:06:45.276 --> 00:06:46.357
There's three options.
00:06:46.357 --> 00:06:52.326
When it comes to food and cravings, we can react resist or allow.
00:06:52.776 --> 00:06:54.367
So I'm going to go through each one of those.
00:06:54.877 --> 00:06:59.226
When we have a thought about the food and the emotional response feels very urgent.
00:06:59.257 --> 00:07:00.427
Like we must obey it.
00:07:00.427 --> 00:07:02.257
We react by eating.
00:07:02.677 --> 00:07:05.257
So our brains are pretty sure that we might die.
00:07:05.346 --> 00:07:06.637
If that urge is not answered.
00:07:06.637 --> 00:07:07.807
That's your lower brain.
00:07:07.867 --> 00:07:09.456
Of course, it's not a conscious thought.
00:07:10.413 --> 00:07:15.113
But that negative feeling of unanswered desire is pretty strong and serious.
00:07:15.144 --> 00:07:18.353
So we respond by eating and that's reaction.
00:07:18.863 --> 00:07:23.574
Reaction is also the just basic biological function of eating food.
00:07:23.574 --> 00:07:27.144
Like we see the food, we're like, okay, we're physically hungry.
00:07:27.173 --> 00:07:28.824
We think, okay, that sounds good.
00:07:29.153 --> 00:07:30.894
And we react to that thought by eating it.
00:07:30.973 --> 00:07:32.353
So there's really nothing huge.
00:07:32.384 --> 00:07:33.553
That's gone wrong here.
00:07:33.764 --> 00:07:35.353
There's nothing wrong with reaction.
00:07:35.353 --> 00:07:37.934
That's actually our brain working as it should.
00:07:38.353 --> 00:07:41.144
The problem comes when that reaction of eating.
00:07:41.504 --> 00:07:45.913
Leads to overeating or eating beyond our physical hunger or comfort.
00:07:46.363 --> 00:07:49.994
And I'm not even talking about like bingeing or gorging, but just regular.
00:07:49.994 --> 00:07:53.204
I ate too much and I feel extra full kind of eating.
00:07:54.074 --> 00:08:00.014
Of course, this reaction gives us an immediate dopamine reward in the brain, which then perpetuates the cycle.
00:08:00.463 --> 00:08:08.204
Then what happens over time is you have an urge or a craving, or even just a thought to eat and you immediately reward it or react it.
00:08:08.684 --> 00:08:10.514
And then that urge intensifies.
00:08:11.144 --> 00:08:11.744
So.
00:08:12.314 --> 00:08:18.134
When we're talking about reaction as a regular biological function of I'm going to see food and then I'm going to eat it.
00:08:18.134 --> 00:08:19.033
It's a good idea.
00:08:19.303 --> 00:08:24.913
The only reason that we're interrupting this is because we decide I want to react less often.
00:08:25.454 --> 00:08:30.043
So then the next option that we go into typically is resistance.
00:08:30.494 --> 00:08:41.504
This is what we do when we fad diet, because what we decide is, okay, I want to stop reacting to food every time I see it, you probably don't use that exact language in your brain, but essentially that's what you're telling yourself.
00:08:41.533 --> 00:08:43.813
You're like, I'm going to stop eating this certain food.
00:08:44.451 --> 00:08:49.520
And often you have a laundry list of foods that are whatever diet you're on is telling you that you can't eat.
00:08:49.821 --> 00:08:54.591
So you decide to use resistance to not eat the foods on the no-no list.
00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:57.890
Resistance to the urge is using willpower.
00:08:58.280 --> 00:09:01.010
And that puts you in a lot of diet mentality.
00:09:01.370 --> 00:09:04.821
It creates a lot of rules and it also feels pretty temporary.
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:12.171
Resistance says things like if I can just hold on long enough to lose weight, then I can go back to my regular way of eating.
00:09:12.831 --> 00:09:14.780
Resistance thoughts also use language.
00:09:14.780 --> 00:09:18.380
Like I can't have that or I shouldn't have that.
00:09:18.770 --> 00:09:21.561
Or I'm not supposed to things like that.
00:09:22.610 --> 00:09:27.770
If you've ever been on one of those like six weeks slim downs, or even a whole 30.
00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:31.760
They have the length of the diet right in the name.
00:09:32.270 --> 00:09:37.880
These kinds of rules create temporary distortions to the way that we normally react to food.
00:09:38.270 --> 00:09:40.100
You are in resistance.
00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:41.571
You are white knuckling.
00:09:41.571 --> 00:09:41.870
It.
00:09:42.380 --> 00:09:45.770
And this typically works for just a short period of time.
00:09:46.461 --> 00:09:52.551
Ultimately, it ends up reinforcing the urge because we move into reaction after some time.
00:09:52.971 --> 00:10:01.240
Even if it's sort of a plan situation, like for example, those six week type diets or the 30 days you're white, knuckling it until day 31.
00:10:01.691 --> 00:10:06.370
And then you go ahead and react to that food that you have been cutting out for that timeframe.
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:12.640
So you can see how this resistance really is the willpower that we try to use when we're on a typical diet.
00:10:13.571 --> 00:10:15.760
Willpower can be similar to a muscle.
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:17.711
In that it wears out.
00:10:18.191 --> 00:10:24.071
It's not an effective tool for a longterm lifestyle change, which is really what we're going for here.
00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:24.551
Right.
00:10:25.030 --> 00:10:27.311
We're aiming to eat like our future selves.
00:10:27.311 --> 00:10:30.431
Do who live at our natural weight?
00:10:30.821 --> 00:10:33.221
And resistance is not going to get us there.
00:10:33.610 --> 00:10:38.831
We don't always want to live in a way where we feel like we have to white knuckle our way through every day.
00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:42.951
That brings us to our last option, which is allowing.
00:10:43.610 --> 00:10:45.380
When we are in allowing.
00:10:45.921 --> 00:10:52.280
We actually allow an urge to be in the body and be present with it without responding to it.
00:10:52.941 --> 00:10:56.331
This puts us in charge as an emotional adult.
00:10:56.900 --> 00:11:02.301
If you remember, in my last episode, we talked a little bit about our higher brain versus our lower toddler brain.
00:11:02.841 --> 00:11:05.301
Our toddler brain wants to have that food.
00:11:05.990 --> 00:11:13.400
And when you are allowing an urge, you're using your higher human brain to allow that toddler brain to scream.
00:11:13.821 --> 00:11:14.990
Without responding.
00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:22.461
So when we decide when and what we eat with our higher brain, we allow cravings to be present.
00:11:22.850 --> 00:11:25.640
Without reacting or resisting.
00:11:26.451 --> 00:11:27.831
We notice the craving.
00:11:27.951 --> 00:11:34.910
We choose not to respond to it with our higher brain and we process that craving or urge as you would.
00:11:34.971 --> 00:11:37.821
Any other feeling any other emotion?
00:11:38.780 --> 00:11:43.100
This is different from how we sometimes use the word allow in the English language.
00:11:43.370 --> 00:11:48.650
Sometimes we use this word, like I really wanted that chocolate chip cookie, so I allowed myself to have it.
00:11:49.100 --> 00:11:51.681
Or I allowed myself to order French fries.
00:11:52.400 --> 00:11:58.400
That's not what I'm talking about here, because allowing myself to have it is actually reaction, right.
00:11:58.400 --> 00:12:00.620
Because your brain is like, Ooh, cookie sounds good.
00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:02.390
And you're like, yeah, let's do that.
00:12:02.780 --> 00:12:04.658
And then you frame it with this word.
00:12:04.928 --> 00:12:09.038
I allowed myself to have the cookie because it just sounds nicer than I gave it.
00:12:09.458 --> 00:12:14.019
We frame it from a point of giving ourselves grace and allowing treats.
00:12:14.499 --> 00:12:26.019
And this is really the work to do not reacting every time the lower toddler brain wants to eat something when we aren't hungry for it or when we haven't planned it.
00:12:26.318 --> 00:12:31.208
So when we plan a chocolate chip cookie, you might use that word.
00:12:31.239 --> 00:12:33.458
Oh, I'm allowing a chocolate chip cookie tonight.
00:12:33.458 --> 00:12:34.928
It's on the plan.
00:12:35.198 --> 00:12:36.668
I've allowed for it.
00:12:36.969 --> 00:12:38.678
I mean, the English language is so confusing.
00:12:38.678 --> 00:12:38.889
Right?
00:12:38.889 --> 00:12:40.869
We use the same words for all kinds of things.
00:12:41.558 --> 00:12:47.708
But when I use the word allow, I'm talking about allowing the craving to be in the body.
00:12:48.158 --> 00:12:51.999
And moving towards it, recognizing it saying, Hey.
00:12:52.509 --> 00:12:56.019
I'm really wanting a chocolate chip cookie and then not eating it.
00:12:56.499 --> 00:12:59.469
That's what I mean by allowing you allow it to be present.
00:12:59.828 --> 00:13:04.328
You get really honest with yourself, instead of saying things like I shouldn't be wanting that.
00:13:04.629 --> 00:13:06.129
Or I'm not supposed to have it.
00:13:06.188 --> 00:13:07.269
I can't have it.
00:13:07.298 --> 00:13:09.399
All of that is resistance language.
00:13:09.938 --> 00:13:12.849
Allowing says, I hear you body.
00:13:13.239 --> 00:13:15.249
I hear that you want a chocolate chip cookie.
00:13:15.668 --> 00:13:17.408
It's not on the plan for today.
00:13:17.528 --> 00:13:20.918
I'm going to feel what that feels like to want a cookie.
00:13:21.458 --> 00:13:22.538
And not eat one.
00:13:23.288 --> 00:13:25.389
Where in the body do I feel this craving?
00:13:25.928 --> 00:13:34.448
What exactly does it feel like, what am I thinking that is producing this desire or urge or craving?
00:13:34.945 --> 00:13:39.235
That's how you allow the craving to be present in the body and move towards it.
00:13:40.554 --> 00:13:47.965
You've all probably heard of Pavlov's dog studies, where he conditioned dogs to salivate for food when they heard the ringing of about.
00:13:48.534 --> 00:13:53.815
So they conditioned these dogs, they would ring a bell and then bring the food and they would eat it.
00:13:54.144 --> 00:14:03.715
Pretty soon, they were able to ring the bell and the dog would start salivating prior to even eating or seeing the food because the dog knew that the belt was associated with eating.
00:14:04.434 --> 00:14:08.034
They conditioned them to be ready for food when they heard about.
00:14:08.784 --> 00:14:10.254
Well, you may not know.
00:14:10.674 --> 00:14:14.184
Is that they went on in this study to decondition the docs.
00:14:14.544 --> 00:14:17.394
So they would ring the bell and not bring the food.
00:14:17.695 --> 00:14:21.384
The dog would still salivate thinking he would be eating soon.
00:14:22.284 --> 00:14:24.414
They'd ring the bell, the dog would salivate.
00:14:24.445 --> 00:14:25.465
They wouldn't feed it.
00:14:26.335 --> 00:14:31.014
And they continue to do this deconditioning process until they eventually rang the bell.
00:14:31.044 --> 00:14:34.705
And the dog did not salivate when they heard the ringing of the bell.
00:14:35.575 --> 00:14:39.235
This is called reconditioning or counter conditioning.
00:14:39.955 --> 00:14:44.784
Interestingly, they even managed to decondition the salivation by ringing the bell.
00:14:45.205 --> 00:14:49.914
Presenting the food and then taking it away without allowing the dog to eat it.
00:14:50.485 --> 00:14:54.955
Essentially, they managed to keep the dog from craving or anticipating the food.
00:14:55.345 --> 00:14:57.325
Even when the dog would see the food.
00:14:57.745 --> 00:14:59.904
They would ring the bell, bring the food.
00:15:00.144 --> 00:15:04.914
The dog would not salivate because he knew he was actually not going to be eating it.
00:15:05.784 --> 00:15:07.825
Now I know we're not dogs.
00:15:08.245 --> 00:15:12.294
And I know this study kind of sounds mean, so let me just acknowledge that right now.
00:15:12.325 --> 00:15:15.625
I feel bad to think about my dog, like salivating and not getting the food.
00:15:15.625 --> 00:15:17.245
Obviously they fed them enough.
00:15:17.544 --> 00:15:19.195
That they were not in harm.
00:15:19.585 --> 00:15:21.115
I'm hoping at least.
00:15:21.595 --> 00:15:24.054
But, you know, humans are smarter.
00:15:24.085 --> 00:15:26.215
We do have that prefrontal cortex.
00:15:26.245 --> 00:15:32.455
And of course the dogs didn't have a choice in the matter because someone else was showing them the food and then giving it to them.
00:15:33.054 --> 00:15:37.615
But we can learn a lot from this study of behavioral psychology.
00:15:38.215 --> 00:15:44.695
We want to be able to hear the bell quote unquote and not respond by eating the food.
00:15:45.294 --> 00:15:47.215
This is what I mean by allowing urges.
00:15:47.215 --> 00:15:49.105
We want to be able to notice the food.
00:15:49.134 --> 00:15:50.575
Oh, that's good food.
00:15:50.575 --> 00:15:51.625
That's edible food.
00:15:51.625 --> 00:15:52.615
I like that thing.
00:15:52.644 --> 00:15:54.264
I do eat that sometimes.
00:15:54.835 --> 00:15:59.095
We know this, the desire to eat the food, allow it to be present.
00:15:59.664 --> 00:16:01.735
Uh, not reward that desire with the food.
00:16:02.695 --> 00:16:06.654
When you practice this over and over the urgency will go down.
00:16:07.044 --> 00:16:11.904
You will decondition yourself and you won't need to either automatically eat the bread.
00:16:12.235 --> 00:16:14.095
Or throw away the cupcakes.
00:16:14.455 --> 00:16:15.835
You'll see those foods.
00:00:00.055 --> 00:00:02.214
00:00:02.455 --> 00:00:07.195
00:00:07.245 --> 00:00:09.074
00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:17.740
00:00:18.370 --> 00:00:19.931
00:00:20.321 --> 00:00:25.981
00:00:26.591 --> 00:00:32.530
00:00:35.384 --> 00:00:36.015
00:00:36.255 --> 00:00:39.645
00:00:39.645 --> 00:00:47.685
00:00:47.715 --> 00:00:49.094
00:00:49.545 --> 00:00:59.054
00:00:59.414 --> 00:01:02.384
00:01:02.835 --> 00:01:15.465
00:01:15.765 --> 00:01:23.204
00:01:23.564 --> 00:01:28.094
00:01:28.094 --> 00:01:32.114
00:01:32.114 --> 00:01:36.855
00:01:37.125 --> 00:01:38.114
00:01:38.144 --> 00:01:39.915
00:01:39.915 --> 00:01:42.344
00:01:42.375 --> 00:01:47.025
00:01:47.325 --> 00:01:56.444
00:01:56.495 --> 00:02:00.935
00:02:00.965 --> 00:02:01.745
00:02:01.954 --> 00:02:06.454
00:02:06.950 --> 00:02:12.020
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.280
00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:22.460
00:02:22.969 --> 00:02:26.659
00:02:27.532 --> 00:02:32.213
00:02:32.544 --> 00:02:36.503
00:02:36.804 --> 00:02:45.084
00:02:45.413 --> 00:02:52.403
00:02:52.403 --> 00:02:53.424
00:02:53.454 --> 00:02:55.313
00:02:55.614 --> 00:03:02.003
00:03:02.484 --> 00:03:05.843
00:03:06.174 --> 00:03:06.533
00:03:06.563 --> 00:03:08.574
00:03:09.054 --> 00:03:11.843
00:03:11.843 --> 00:03:16.463
00:03:16.463 --> 00:03:23.063
00:03:23.123 --> 00:03:25.044
00:03:25.524 --> 00:03:29.243
00:03:29.514 --> 00:03:43.493
00:03:43.794 --> 00:03:50.574
00:03:51.114 --> 00:04:05.153
00:04:05.633 --> 00:04:10.163

00:05:27.632 --> 00:05:31.773
00:05:32.192 --> 00:05:33.512
00:05:34.892 --> 00:05:39.572
00:05:39.872 --> 00:05:43.023
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.060
