There are an awful lot of bad habits out there. Whether yours is eating too many sweets, enjoying one too many libations, procrastination, smoking, a deep love of potato chips...we all have them and we know lots of people with them. But today we're talking about a bad habit of a different sort. Fat Talk. Disparaging comments about your body, weight, physical insecurities. So many people - women in particular - spend a great deal of time on a daily basis putting themselves down, comparing their assets (or what is perceived as a lacking of assets) to those of others and wishing they were different.
And it isn't always about putting yourself down. If you've ever had someone give you a compliment - whether about your outfit, your make-up, your hair - and you couldn't fully accept it with grace, that's part of this bad habit as well.
Often, we're so busy thinking of all the things we don't like about ourselves we leave very little (if any) room to appreciate someone noticing something good.
Health Magazine recently shared information about this and ways to curb the Fat Talk. Changes to the way we think about ourselves will actually improve our energy levels and moods - reason enough to consider kicking this very bad habit to the curb.
