You’re listening to the Nourish and Nurture Podcast: A Weight Watcher’s Journey, Episode #110: Boxes and Boundaries: When a Chip is Just a Chip.

What might drive you to eat food that would supersede the importance of the results of all the hard work you have done to reach the point where you are at the moment you put that food into your mouth? Sometimes it is not sinister at all and something you might have planned for and have looked forward to.

In this episode, Miriam explores setting up boundaries and what might happen if those boundaries are set in a deep and dark Pandora's box, as opposed to a mesh box where the light can shine through.

She talks about fuzzy boundaries and what you can do to get back on the road and not run yourself into a ditch.

You’re listening to the Nourish and Nurture Podcast: A Weight Watcher’s Journey, Episode #108: Ladder Those Thoughts.

Self-talk is your inner voice. It is what you are telling yourself all day long as your day unfolds. Affirmations are positive statements that reflect that you are already where you would like to be. You may need some "laddering" even with simple affirmations. Make the affirmations positive and the direction where you would like to head, but make them doable and believable. Learn what laddering is and how to do it.

Miriam calls out the mistakes we make: We make the mistake of not realizing the importance of catching ourselves in that loop of negative self-talk. We make the mistake of not even questioning whether the thoughts are true or not. We make the mistake of not laddering our affirmations so that they are something we can believe. We make the mistake of not talking kindly to ourselves. We know the words. We have them for friends, family and even strangers. Why not ourselves?

In this episode, learn a new and constructive way of talking to yourself and developing believable and helpful affirmations.
