Ask why am I eating and why am I eating this. Do it for two weeks to build in the moment awareness that makes new choices possible  .

We talk about failing on purpose to find the next skill to build and why your approach must be customized to your real life instead of copied from a one size plan.

The way you speak to yourself determines whether you persist through setbacks or spiral into giving up.In this episode, Chris unpacks the role of self-talk in long-term weight loss and identity change. You’ll hear personal stories, lessons from coaching, and practical tools you can begin using right away to change the way you treat yourself.⸻Key Takeaways • Self-talk shapes identity. The way you describe yourself becomes the way you act, so harsh inner dialogue only reinforces old patterns.Stop making it personal. Critique your behaviors, not your character. Hold yourself accountable without tearing yourself down.Leave wiggle room. Replace absolutes like “I always fail” with flexible language that leaves space for growth.Practice daily compliments and gratitude. Look for reasons to praise yourself—your brain will start seeking positives instead of negatives.Apologize to yourself. If you catch yourself being cruel, stop, correct it, and move on. This rebuilds trust with yourself.⸻Why It MattersWhen you improve your self-talk, you do more than ease the weight-loss journey. You create a healthier relationship with accountability, both with yourself and with others. This isn’t fluff—it’s a skill that can change how you approach every challenge in your life.
