Written by Zo Houseman

It goes like this.

My thoughts: I always eat too potato chips, and I can’t lose weight. I’m so spineless.

Are my thoughts true? I don’t always eat too many potato chips. I’ve been eating dessert, which is probably why I can’t lose weight. It’s notrepparttar potato chips. I don’t know why I said I’m spineless. I’m not.

Why do I eat so many potato chips? When I ate them today, it was after that conversation with my friend. I felt angry. The crunch ofrepparttar 131442 potato chips helped me feel less angry. Now that I think about it, I eat potato chips a lot when I’m angry.

Do I want to continue believing my thoughts? No. I forgive myself for eating potato chips to swallow my anger. I forgive myself for calling myself spineless.

New thoughts: When I’m angry next time, I’m going to express my anger appropriately and talk withrepparttar 131443 other person. I’m not going to eat potato chips. I can lose weight. I am successful in losing weight.

Learn to listen to yourself and not rely on outside cues for what you may or may not think and feel. It’s not selfish to meet your real needs directly. When you meet your true needs, food is no longer a bandage. Then you can freely choose whether or not to eat that particular food withoutrepparttar 131444 intensity of unmet emotional needs. It’s about valuing yourself and making decisions and choices that honor your value. New thinking will support your weight loss efforts.
