The Monster hug
You look back on the past few weeks, and their experiences with the delightful food. Draw your attention deliberately on what didn’t go so well: Have you found eating habits to you have appalled? You have admitted to yourself that cravings or emotional eating is an issue for you? Have you thought in between: “This is all well and good. But I weigh ten pounds, and since all this also helps me nothing.”
Please be petty. Yank out the negative thoughts and doubts, or self-reproach that you make as a result of their figure. Imagine now this tangle of accusations and Doubt as a Monster, they embellish this image to be calm and use your imagination (think of eyes, mouth, Claws, teeth). Has it worked? Well, now comes the next step.
Now imagine two things: firstly, that you have to fight with this Monster. On the other, they walk Arm-in-Arm with this Monster through life.
- Try to imagine how you will feel when you have to fight against the Monster: you Have your destination and your way there, still in view, if you are struggling, you can enjoy your life and also your food yet?
- Now imagine how you will feel when you walk Arm-in-Arm with the Monster through life. What is your view on your goals and your way now? How can you enjoy your food, if the Monster is on your side? You feel the difference?
