(i don't know why it's there, but i'm ~ 3 lbs from my goal weight and it's still there, so i dunno, i guess it's for good). that's the worst. but remembering that today / that meal was just a blip in the week tends to help a lot. my negative self-thought is most always on those days when i’m really hungry and i’ve just eaten something over my allotted ww points, and i catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and i see my back fat or whatever.

I love it!This (along with emotional eating) are both things I'm realizing I REALLY need to work on. I've lost 60 lbs (highest weight 230 lbs) but over the past couple months 10 have crept back on :( All the weight was gained during university (my undergrad) and my "normal" weight is usually between 130-140 lbs and that is my goal. I just need to get back on track and ditch that extra 10 plus more!Anyway, the most negative things I usually say to myself are:"You're never actually going to do this, you're just going to gain it all back again""How could you let yourself get this way in the first place??"and"Even if you do lose it all, your body is never going to be the same as it was anyway (saggy skin, stretch marks...) So what's the point in putting the work in to lose it?"I know, REALLY negative. But that's what I hear on the really bad days. Sorry for such a late response, I just found this site. I love it!

This (along with emotional eating) are both things I’m realizing I REALLY need to work on. I’ve lost 60 lbs (highest weight 230 lbs) but over the past couple months 10 have crept back on :( All the weight was gained during university (my undergrad) and my “normal” weight is usually between 130-140 lbs and that is my goal. I just need to get back on track and ditch that extra 10 plus more!

Anyway, the most negative things I usually say to myself are:

“You’re never actually going to do this, you’re just going to gain it all back again”

“How could you let yourself get this way in the first place??”

and

“Even if you do lose it all, your body is never going to be the same as it was anyway (saggy skin, stretch marks…) So what’s the point in putting the work in to lose it?”

I know, REALLY negative. But that’s what I hear on the really bad days.

I need to work on this too. Actually you wouldn't believe the horrid list of potential blog names I came up with before I settled on Little by Little. Most of them had "fat" in the title and then I suddenly realized that putting that in there would forever define me as fat and how was I going to progress with that as my defining label. The more successes I set up for myself the more the positive talk takes over but there is still a lot of negativity going on. I'm thinking I'll try the writing down bit. Nice video.

Negative self-talk is a HUGE issue for me due to abuse issues from my childhood. Thanks for reminding me that I CAN overcome those things and live the life *I* want to live! I know it's the end of the week already, but I'm definitely going to focus on this issue for myself next week.BTW, I have to agree with others, your arms are amazing! Rock on, MizFit!

I've actually used that "STOP" mechanism before, but not with body image issues (it's been more along the lines of thinking about some dude who doesn't deserve to have so much thought devoted to him...).
