The 12-Day Weight Loss Doesn’t Have to Suck Challenge!

How to Decrease Your Desire to Overeat

  • Visualize yourself at your goal weight. What specific activities would feel better? How would your daily life improve?

  • Compare how your body feels when satisfied versus overfull. How does each state affect the rest of your day?

  • What's more important to you: momentary food pleasure or the lasting benefits of reaching your goals?

Journal Prompts/Questions to Ponder:

Overeating is a learned behavior, and I am actively unlearning it every day.

I choose lasting satisfaction over momentary pleasure. What I want MOST is more important than what I want now.

My lower brain is wrong about food being the most important thing. I know what truly matters to me.

Day 5 Power Statement:

Listening to Your Body for Weight Loss

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

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
