How do you talk about your body and weight? Look at your word choices. Your body hears everything you think and say. You would be devastated to have someone call you fat, so why do you say it to yourself? Your body hears it and takes it in on an emotional level. Encourage yourself to start using positive self-talk, like “I’m not where I want to be but I’m working to get there,” “I’m working to be healthier.” *
