Lose Weight By Saying Yes (to yourself)

23-LoseWeightBySayingYesDo you say yes to cake?  Yes to pizza?  Yes to chocolate?  If the answer is โ€œyesโ€ then maybe you need to start saying โ€œno.โ€  Not to food, but to people.

In this episode, Dr. Nina talks about how setting limits can help you lose weight.

She explores the reasons why itโ€™s hard for people to say no and provides guidelines for how to say โ€œnoโ€ to others and say โ€œyesโ€ to yourself.

When you devalue yourself, it feels bad, and when you feel bad, youโ€™re more likely to turn to food for comfort and distraction.

When you say โ€œyesโ€ to yourself, when you feel empowered, youโ€™re less likely to stuff your feelings, literally and figuratively.   And thatโ€™s how you win the diet war.
