Hi Gillian, and everyone,
I’ve titled my post “I am not a piece of trash” because in working through the exercises this week on non-weight motivation, I’ve discovered that this is actually a huge motivator for me. A long-term relationship has just ended, and I have been treated like a piece of trash for quite a while. It is over now, thankfully, but my self-esteem is shredded. I know I am in serious need of addressing this issue and it really hit home to think that I can rediscover self-respect, self-esteem and self-confidence through tackling my eating issues. It’s a huge motivator for me. I am not a piece of trash, and I don’t need to treat myself and my body like a piece of trash by eating 2 bags of crisps right now, I can feel good about myself and my choices and gain some serious self-respect by leaving them in the cupboard. For example.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s webinar!
