What the heck is fat talk? Here are some examples:
“You look great! Have you lost weight?”
“I just feel fat.”
“I can’t believe I pigged out so bad!”
“I was really bad today and ate pizza.”
“I can only wear that if I lost 10 lbs.”
Most people are guilty of making these kind of statements. It’s become normal and comfortable. These statements also lead to crash diets & unhealthy negative self talk.
Your challenge this week is to notice when fat talk comes out of your mouth. Then stop what you are saying and turn it into something positive about yourself. One great tip is to stop thinking externally and think internally. What behaviors, talents, passions, skills do you have?
