You will never speak to anyone more than you speak to yourself in your head. Be kind to yourself.

Immediately after writing my first post I began to tell myself , ” That’s stupid. That’s lame. That’s too plain. It’s too short. Too vague. Too random. Too ’emo’. Weak.” Immediately I ‘went there’. I’m not sure if I’ll ever stop doing that. I cannot say when the negative self-talk started, but I can push back . Fight darkness with light and talk myself back into something I’ve started that could potentially be good for me and someone else. So let’s practice…

Say This…
“I love every cell of my body.”
Not That…
“I’m fat.”

Say This…
“May the next few months be a period of magnificent transformation.”
Not That…
“I’ll never lose this weight.”

Say This…
“ I can.”
Not That…
“ I can’t.”

Say This…
“ I lose weight systematically and I keep it off permanently.”
Not That…
“ I can’t get rid of this stomach.”
