Our self talk matters



Recommended Posts

A friend of mine posted this on FB & I think it's a really important message. The things we say to ourselves MATTER, in the same way that the words we direct at other people matter. Why are we so often willing to treat ourselves with less kindness and consideration than we would extend to someone else?

Liked it!

Men do this crap, too.

If I worked for a boss that talked to me like I USED TO talk to me I would walk off the job ....hopefully before I busted his jaw.

It's interesting. My husband is the worst "fat talker" out there. He is a performer and feels that everyone judges on appearance. They do, but not solely. We have had this conversation a lot…I know fat shaming exists in the profession, but no one can possibly be worse to him than he is to himself. He is working with the therapist on this too. This is a multi-layered beast...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
