@dr.rachelpaul: I used to think in order to lose weight, I needed to scold myself whenever I overate. I would say things like: “What’s wrong with you, you slob? You need to eat perfectly starting tomorrow.” Do you ever have those thoughts? The great news is that that type of negative self talk is actually completely unnecessary for long term weight loss. Instead, self-compassion is key to actually staying consistent. Will you try any of these new reframes? 🥘“I will focus on making myself proud at the next meal.” 🧘‍♀️“I will find de-stressing activities that leave me feeling truly relaxed (and not over-full) afterwards.” 💪“I can learn 1 thing from this overeating experience, and then move on.” 💛“Getting down on myself makes me feel terrible, and isn’t necessary or helpful for permanent weight loss. I will try self-compassion instead.” If you want to lose weight with mental health as your number one priority, I’d love for you to join Best Body! #healthyweightlossrecipies #selfcompassion #easymealideas #mindset #healthyweightloss
