I want to encourage you today.
You do not, and I’ll repeat this, you do not have to agree with the negative self-talk in your head.
It might not even be your original thoughts!!!
I talked in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDXjjv-gSE ) about the fact that it will take some willingness – not perfection – to get traction and not lose major ground with your non-diet living efforts.
Today’s Action:
If you find yourself having some of these repetitive thoughts
- I am not sick
- I am not thin enough
- It’s not that bad
- I don’t need that much (yes maybe you do!)
- This (intuitive eating/recovery/body acceptance) is for everyone else, but not for me
- Or whatever the withholding/critical/shaming voice inside is saying…
Get curious, and consider some options you might take next. These can include
- Reaching out
- Being with it
- Reminding yourself you are not doing that today/right now, I’ve got xyz to do
- Exploring it
- Comforting yourself
Agreeing with the negative self-talk is the last thing I want you to consider.
