69. How Self Talk Creates Your Appetite
In this episode, I’m taking you through everything self-talk. All too often, women come to me complaining about their appetites. “I’m just too hungry!” “I don’t have enough willpower!” “My whole family has always been fat. We celebrate with food, we grieve with food! I can’t imagine NOT having a big appetite.” Or, the flip: “I just see my food and I don’t want to eat it.” “I’m constantly thinking about food, but I get so overwhelmed I end up eating popcorn most nights.”
WHAT is happening, exactly? Self talk.
And if you can’t identify just how mean those inner thoughts are, just what exactly your inner voice is telling you, forcing you, MAKING you do… you’re never going to get off the roller coaster of dieting. .
