Sabotaging Thoughts

I think that we all have sabotaging thoughts, it's what we do about them that will make or break us. Sabotaging thought are those thoughts that would allow us to undermine our short or long-term goals. These often happen when we are feeling weak and insecure. One of the things I've learned from working through my 'Beck Diet Solution' workbook is that I can identify sabotaging thoughts and replace them with supportive

Here's an example of a self-distructive thought and alternative:

Sabotaging Thought: It feels uncomfortable and unnatural to withhold drinking with my meals.

Supportive Thought: With practice, I will get used to not drinking with my meals which will allow me to leverage the power of my pouch.

What are some of sabatoging thoughts you have to deal with and how will you manage those thoughts so that you can and will be successful in attaining and maintaining your goals?
