Instead of: “I had a bagel this morning so I can’t eat any carbs for the rest of the day.” Try: “The bagel I ate was delicious and provided fuel and a full tummy. I’ll prioritize (but not limit myself to) other food groups for the rest of the day.”

If you think you have a weight problem, even if you’re not clinically under or overweight, then you still have a weight problem. If you change the way you eat, exercise, dress, or function because of the “problem with your weight,” then there is 100% a weight problem to treat.
