You don’t need another lecture—you need words that actually help you follow through. These lines are short on hype and long on usefulness: say a few while you make breakfast, on a walk, or right before a choice that matters. Let them steady your mindset so the habits feel easier.
Pick three for today. Speak them out loud if you can, softly if you can’t. Then take one tiny action that matches—a glass of water, a five-minute walk, a smarter portion. Small wins stack. By the end of the week, the scale isn’t the only thing that’s lighter.
