What is the silent enemy of your success in any weight loss program? It’s not a food or a drink. It’s not even another person. The silent enemy is the internal, critical monologue you endure each time you flay yourself for how you look or how much success you have or have not had.
You see, you listen to this silent enemy every single day. You listen to it when you look at yourself in the mirror. You hear every derogatory word you say about yourself and to yourself.
You listen to it when you try on clothes. You listen to it when you give into a craving. You listen to it when you compare yourself unfavorably to others. This silent enemy is insidious and deadly to all your good intentions.
It’s called negative self-talk. The more you do it, the more you create the self-fulfilling prophecy of your own defeat. When you cease talking to yourself this way you create a mental space where you care for and listen to your body. You can give yourself encouragement. You can tell yourself that you believe in what and who you can be. You can make your silent enemy your greatest cheerleader.
By destroying your silent enemy and loving your body, you can make weight loss easier to attain and weight loss programs easier to follow. Consider vanquishing your silent enemy and make the road towards achieving your goals easier and better.
