Create a personal power statement to support changes in your food-mood connection. Here is what I suggest to my health coaching clients:

I reject fear and fat as I nurture my body to my ideal weight.

Notice that this statement is POSITIVE. The diet mentality is filled with negatives (can’t eat this, don’t do that, never do… ). Our brains work better focused on what is positive.

Create your personal power statement. Type it on a small index card or business card and place everywhere you go: car, refrigerator, office, tv room. And remember to carry this card in your calendar, pocket or purse and wallet.

It’s YOUR personal power statement.

Say it. Claim it. Act on it.
