Self-talk. What are YOU saying about YOU?
Self-talk. It’s really just talking to ourselves. Talking to yourself used to be something we thought only the mentally ill did, however now we know that we all talk to ourselves all the time! So what exactly are you saying to you and about you?
First, let’s look at the language around weight loss. In fact, let’s start with the word “loss” itself. What happens when you lose something? Your brain immediately starts looking to find the item again. Whether it is your keys, your money, or your grocery list, the minute you realize you have lost something, your brain is programmed to find it again. So, from this point forward, we are not going to use the words “lose”, “loss” or “lost” with regard to weight. Because if you “lose” weight, your brain is going to want to “find” weight again. I know how silly this seems, and for now, you are just going to have to trust me on this one! So find new ways to talk about what you are doing. You can be reducing your weight, or releasing your weight, or shedding your weight, or finding your ideal weight!
