Many people who struggle with their weight speak to themselves in the privacy of their own minds in a harsh, cruel or even abusive way. In a way that they would never dream of speaking to someone else. It's the voice that calls you fat, or lazy, or belittles you for not having enough discipline or willpower. This kind of voice, with weapons of shame and guilt, might get you to white knuckle it for a little while and lose weight. But the weight loss doesn't stick and you're left with only a drill sergeant in your brain.
The tip of the week is to begin to listen to that voice in your head. If it's unkind, pay attention to how you can change the vocabulary. To lose weight and keep it off (especially when you're an emotional eater, binge eater or compulsive overeater) is hard work. Talk to yourself in a tone that understands that. Use loving and compassionate words. And in the most simple of terms, be nice to yourself.
