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
