Retrain Yourself-Jillian Michaels

Retrain Yourself
A key element of changing your attitude is changing your self-talk or internal monologue. Your self-talk is that chattering conversation you have with yourself all day long, whether you are aware of it or not. It's the voice in your head that says, "I'm too fat" or "I'm not good enough." I don't need to go on, do I? You know what I'm talking about!
Well, it's this kind of useless negativity that's keeping you from being the best that you can be. Now it's time to turn it around once and for all. You need to retrain yourself to think positively!

Imagine what would happen if you changed the dialogue so that it sounded more like this: "I can lose weight and be healthy, exercise to the best of my ability, and get stronger and better at it every time I do it." Your self-talk can make the difference between happiness and despair, success and failure. I can promise you that if you start making your self-talk more positive and affirming — and less defeatist and self-depreciating — your whole life will change for the better.

AMEN ! you aer right.
My boyfriend gets onto me all the time because i over think every single little thing having to do with calories and exercise. I can't get motivated because of this voice, and he's saying "you just have to DO it!" Alot easier said than done!

My boyfriend does the same thing to me. Its so frustrating because he thinks I can lose 5 pounds by exercising for an hour like he can.... :grumble: "Quit complaining and just do it." That's what I keep hearing. AH!
