Weight Loss for Food Lovers with Molly Zemek
Summary:
In this episode, Molly talks about how transitioning from hating yourself to loving yourself (exactly as you are) can more quickly drive success in weight loss.
All of this is in your control: the way you think about yourself, about your weight, the way you talk about yourself. You can control these things and determine what they mean. Molly wants you to start thinking about how to take control of your thoughts.
Number 1: Change the dialogue you have with yourself. She says to detach from these thoughts and become the “watcher.” The watcher is aware but does not engage. As you get more comfortable here, you can start to “level up” the content of these self-conversations. Make it a daily practice. The more you do this, the more automatic it will become.
Number 2: Pay attention to your emotions. And stay with them. You can resist them, but they won’t go away. You also deserve to be intune with your emotions and experience them for all they are—even if they’re negative emotions.
Number 3: Build evidence that you are somebody who loves their body. This looks like starting to take action like someone who loves their body, even if you don’t right now. Over time, you can look back and build confidence. You can show: yes, I do care about my body. Look at the evidence!
