The 12-Day Weight Loss Doesn’t Have to Suck Challenge!
How to Stop Making Impulsive Choices
What happens when you create some space between yourself and your urges? How does your perspective change when you observe rather than immediately react?
Think about a time when you successfully allowed an urge to pass without acting on it. How did you feel 5-10 minutes after the urge passed?
How will your life be different when (after practicing this work!) urges and cravings aren't such a big deal to you anymore? What will change in your day-to-day experience?
Journal Prompts/Questions to Ponder:
My urges don't control me. I observe them with curiosity and choose my response.
I am becoming someone who can feel uncomfortable feelings without needing to eat over them.
Every time I surf an urge, I strengthen my freedom muscles.
This discomfort is temporary, but the benefits last forever.
Day 6 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
