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...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
