The biggest shift I've felt in myself on this journey has been learning the power of positive thinking. Learning I have a choice about what to believe about myself. I start every single day by writing down at least 3 of the following statements. I focus on which ever statements I need to tell myself that particular day. When the negative thoughts - the shame, the body bashing, the paralysis by analysis - inevitably start creeping in later in the day, I’m reminded of the commitments I made to myself earlier that morning.
Here are some of my daily journey starters:
- I believe I can change
- I believe there is freedom
- I am a manager of my thoughts
- I believe I can change my thoughts about myself
- I am worthy of love exactly as I am today
- I believe there is freedom from body bashing and obsessive meal planning
- I am worthy of changing my thoughts
- I am worthy of living in freedom
- I believe I can stop snacking out of boredom or discomfort
- I believe I can change the way I see my body
- I am worthy and capable of change and freedom
- I am kind to others, but also to myself
- I believe I can eat dessert and snacks and not feel shame
- I believe I can let go of the fear of weight gain as I learn to trust my body with food
- I believe there is freedom from a constant desire to lose weight
- I believe in body kindness and self-love and self-care
- I am worthy of self-love
- I believe I can forgive myself for all this struggle has taken from me
- I believe I can gain weight and still be worthy
- I believe I can gain weight and still be beautiful and confident
- I believe there are no “good foods” and “bad foods”
- I believe I can eat intuitively. I believe I can wait to eat until I’m hungry. I believe I can stop eating when I’m full.
I will continuously update this list as I continue through this journey!
