The 12-Day Weight Loss Doesn’t Have to Suck Challenge!
Don’t Let Your Lower Brain Have the Last Word
What are the top 3 excuses your lower brain uses to talk you into overeating? Write them down word for word.
For each excuse, create a powerful counter-argument from your higher brain that reminds you of your true priorities.
What's one situation today where you can practice identifying and challenging your lower brain's message before deciding whether to eat?
Journal Prompts/Questions to Ponder:
Your body is telling you it's truly hungry when:
Your stomach feels physically empty
You notice gentle growling or gurgling
You're getting distracted from what you're doing
The hunger sensation isn't going away
A simple meal (like a sandwich) sounds good
I recognize my lower brain’s excuses for what they are - just thoughts, not commands.
I have the power to pause, question, and choose what truly gives me the most satisfying LIFE.
My higher brain knows what is actually right for me
Day 10 Power Statement:
Listening to Your Body for Weight Loss
You’re probably not actually hungry if:
You'd eat chips but would turn down vegetables
You're just worried about getting hungry later
You're "wondering" if you're hungry
You're craving one specific food
No physical hunger signals - just want to eat
You're at that perfect "satisfied" spot when:
Your mind starts wandering from your food
You could comfortably go for a walk
Your stomach feels content but not stretched
You're questioning if you need more
You'll probably be good for 3-4 hours
Quick tips for success:
Take a 5-minute pause halfway through your meal
Put your fork down between bites
Remember: There's always more food coming when you're truly hungry again!
It's okay if you overeat sometimes - just notice and adjust next time
Be kind to yourself as you practice this new skill
