Do any of these issues plague you… • Overweight? • Lacking formal education/qualifications? • Unhappily married/single / divorced? • Unhealthy addiction? • Continuous negative emotions like anger, greed, fear? • Self-hatred? • Regrets?

I often say them while I am driving, when I am about to address a challenging issue, or when I feel uninspired / demotivated and need a pick-me-upper. Examples of affirmations (you can also write the opposite to your stressors list from above)

    The article “Fat Pride World Wide” by Juliet Samuels describes the conflict in the US where “fat” people are claiming that prejudice and discrimination of larger people is a problem.

Some people out there are natural larger but there’s a difference between being too heavy that it impacts your health and just having a larger frame.
