Ep20 You can’t hate yourself thin!

Self-kindness is the secret weapon in weight loss. Self-kindness is proven to help us stay track with healthy behaviour change, and yet many of us find self-kindness very hard to do. Have you ever felt like giving up your weight loss efforts after slipping and eating just one piece of cake? Have you ever felt that if you eat one little bit of chocolate, you might as well just scoff the whole packet? Have you ever got angry at yourself for not always staying “on plan”? Being kind and compassionate to yourself allows you to accept the little ups and downs of your weight loss journey and to get straight back on track. Luckily, self-compassion is a learnable skill. Dr Lucy Burns and Dr Mary Barson discuss three simple steps to building and maintaining self-compassion. You can learn to change your eating behaviours without self-hatred, and without giving up.
