Stop self-sabotage by being positive about your body
SELF-SABOTAGE is one of the biggest obstacles people face. So let’s talk about ways of knocking it on the head through body positivity!
The past three weeks of the Summer Challenge have focussed on creating effective goals, healthy eating and exercise – but healthy eating and exercise are no good if you only stick to them for a short time and you don’t stay on track to achieve your goals.
So this week’s video is going to help you overcome self-sabotage and will enable you to stay on course so your new habits become lasting.
At the end of the day, making those habits stick is what we all want!
Self-sabotage is one of the things that prevents people achieving their dreams and one of the reasons people self sabotage is because they’ve got negative self-talk going on in their head.
This negative self talk can be very powerful and destructive. Watch this video – it will help you to stop self-sabotage and move past the obstacle so you can achieve your dreams!
Key points about stopping self-sabotage
If you love your body you’ll automatically begin to care about what goes into your mouth and how you look after your health.
Pay attention to your language. Be really aware when you talk about your body, or when others around you do it.
Show yourself kindness and compassion. If you slip up, don’t berate yourself.
If a colleague makes a critique about their weight, you DON’T have to join in with your own “me too” insecurities.
Affirmations help keep you in a consistently positive mood that gets Nature’s happy drugs dancing in your brain.
The more you practise, the more you notice what aspects of your life are most important to you – as well as things that may be holding you back from being happy
Leave a comment below to let me know how you’re getting on with stopping self-sabotage. I love reading all about your success!

Get moving! Get motivated! Start my super new 21-day fitness challenge today
ONE thing I’ve noticed over the years is that when people have done about 14 days of a healthy lifestyle regime their motivation can suddenly become much weaker. So let’s keep the motivation going! Now that we’ve done 14 days of our #SummerChallenge, I’ve got something that will definitely keep you motivated for the next few weeks!
Watch my new video discover what it’s all about (and please hit the Like button and subscribe to my channel to see all my Slimpod videos completely free of charge!)
In the video I mentioned the lovely Caroline Lockie and here’s a video she created last year which is truly inspirational!
A recap of the tasks this week in #SummerChallenge:
ONE: Set yourself a daily exercise goal – a distance to walk or run or a number of strength exercises to achieve.
TWO: If you’re at a desk all day, set an alarm on your phone every 50 minutes to remind you to get up and walk for 10 minutes.
THREE: Get your heart rate up regularly – walking or running up stairs is great for that. Or take part in a YouTube exercise video.
FOUR: There’s a new Couch to 5K thread in Slimpod Club – and there’s no better time to join in.
FIVE: Be accountable! There’s an accountability thread in Slimpod Club or you can post comments daily on this blog to share your progress.
Remember our Slimpod motto: All movement is exercise!

Three easy tasks to help you drop a size in just 21 days
THIS WEEK we’re continuing our mission to drop a size in four weeks and the Slimpod #SummerChallenge is focusing on food! What’s your relationship with it? Is it your friend or foe? Do you use it for fuelling your mind and body to give its best or does food have a whole host of other meanings for you?!
In my experience, most people know what they should be eating to lose the excess fat, but they just can’t seem to follow a healthy lifestyle regime consistently. And I speak to a lot of people who just don’t have a deep enough desire to lose weight.
They THINK it’s what they want but at the end of the day have zero motivation to make it happen. So if you’re one of those people, give yourself a big push for the next three weeks of the #SummerChallenge and show yourself what’s possible! It’s only 21 days!
So here are the tasks for this week and the next 21 days – let’s do this!
TASK ONE: Let’s get really aware of our full signal! All too often we overeat but this can be controlled!
Slimpod helps you do this so if you listen out for it at meal times, you can engage and know when you’re full. Problems occur if you’re watching television or using your phone and you end up shovelling in food without any thought.
Stop! Enjoy it! Savour the tastes!
And above all let your body yell out to your brain – “I’m full and you can stop eating now!”
TASK TWO: Focus on what you’re eating. Here’s a reminder of what we recommend in the programme. Let’s all be really focused on the advice and follow it for just 21 days.
One: Actively reduce bread, pasta, potatoes, processed cereals and rice— they’re a combination of refined and starchy carbohydrates which rapidly turn into sugars in the blood. Try quinoa, whole grains, beans, and lentils instead – they fill you up too!
Two: Reduce or cut out sugar, sugary treats, alcoholic drinks and desserts. With a Slimpod that’s easy!
Three: Eat more vegetables. There are so many wonderful vegetables to choose from. I must admit I’ve become quite a veggie addict. I love stir fries and dishes with lots of colour. Broccoli, spinach, red peppers, pak choi and carrots are in my basket every week.
Four: Eat fruit, two portions a day is good.
Five: Include plenty of high-quality protein such as meat, oily fish, eggs, seafood, tofu and soy. The body doesn’t store protein so you need to maintain an adequate level in your diet to avoid muscle loss. It also helps to reduce appetite. Eggs are amazing for breakfast! Avoid processed meats for the next 21 days
Six: Enjoy dairy products and eat more healthy fats and oils. Until recently people thought they should be avoiding full-fat dairy products. In 2014 a review by the British Heart Foundation found NO evidence that eating saturated fats leads to a greater risk of heart disease.
More recently scientists have said if you drink full fat milk you are 46 per cent less likely to develop diabetes! So use fats!
They make food taste better. They are an excellent source of slow-burn energy. And although ounce for ounce they are higher in calories than carbs, they keep you full for longer.
There are many, many recipes available in the Healthy Recipes section of our programme which fall in line with the principles above, or you’ll find thousands online.
There are also many recipe books like Dr Michael Mosley’s Blood Sugar Diet – and yes, most of them have the word diet in the title, but ignore that and just follow the recipes!!
TASK THREE: This is one of the most important tasks of all because it holds you accountable! We’re going to share the love, create some great dishes and share recipes with each other in Slimpod Club.
If you’re not in Slimpod Club but you are on social media then share them on Instagram etc using the #SlimpodSmile.
Upload a picture and the recipe instructions for your favourite healthy dish – whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, healthy snacks and even clever sugar-free desserts!
If you try someone else’s recipe and you enjoy it, tell them in the comments below their post and upload a picture. We are a fantastic community and I think we can create a very tasty and healthy recipe thread for one another by sharing our favourites, especially if they’re really easy to make.
Whether you’re in Slimpod Club or not, do post them on social, especially on Instagram, and tag us in posts because we’d love to share the healthy food!
As a little incentive to share the love on social, I’ll be giving a lovely prize to the person whose recipe gets the most likes over the next seven days. So get those pics online!
So there you are – as easy as 1,2 3!
- Listen for the full signal
- Follow the principles of the Med way of eating
- Share your recipes with the community online!
I’m really looking forward to this and I’ll be sharing too! Let me know below how you got on over the past seven days – can’t wait to hear all about it!
