To Achieve Your Goals, Change How You Talk to Yourself
By admin on Oct 24, 2010 in Health and Fitness
We believe what we tell ourselves, whether it’s true or not. And when we talk negatively about our bodies, we start to feel negatively about them. That creates problems with our motivation to do the things necessary to take care of them.
Helping people understand that is one of the reasons behind Fat Talk Free Week, a campaign started by the Delta Delta Delta sorority to help women stop the negative focus on their bodies that is rampant in the US and elsewhere.
Fat talk doesn’t help and, indeed, harms by fostering body dissatisfaction that is linked to eating and weight struggles, and eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. It’s estimated that 10 million women suffer from anorexia and bulimia. But even more of us struggle with binge eating disorder, which is thought to affect three times as many people as anorexia and bulimia combined and at least one-third of people who participate in weight loss programs.
