Do you really have an understanding of how much negative, self-directed talk is going on in your head? If you are like many people who have struggled with the weight, there are lots of situations which cause you to speak negatively about yourself and your abilities.
THIS ISN'T HELPFUL TO YOU!!!
Even though clients have, in the past, told me they use these negative thoughts to motivate themselves, hearing "You suck!" / "You're so fat!"/ "Of course you're going to fail!" is NOT motivating -- it is demeaning.
Your boss would be reprimanded if he or she spoke to you that way and you would be incensed.
So why is it okay to talk to yourself that way? The answer? -- It's NOT!!
Spend sometime this weekend writing down the negative self-talk that pops into your head -- there is a good chance you are going to be appalled at how frequent and mean it is.
