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
