Speaker 1 (00:25):
Well, Stallion mentions getting valuable
insights and motivation andcreating a healthier lifestyle
from journaling.
What really got me was how itties into like the psychology of
how we change our behavior.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Absolutely.
Journaling helps you like,really see your own motivations,
like you're holding up a mirrorto your habits you know, and
what you're thinking.
You become more aware of whyyou do what you do.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's like you become your own weight loss detective.
Right, right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
You're not just going through the motions.
You uncover the clues aboutwhat makes you make the
decisions you make.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
And once you get that , you can start making you know
smarter choices, ones you makeon purpose.
Say, you have a day where youjust eat too much, instead of
just like feeling bad about it.
Journaling makes you ask well,what got me here?
Was I stressed, tired or justbored?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
That's where those aha moments come from.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Totally Replacing, beating yourself up with being
curious instead that change inhow you see things can be so
powerful.
Yeah, and that's where thesejournal?
Prompts come in right.
Yeah, how you see things can beso powerful.
And that's where these journalprompts come in right.
Lestallion breaks them up inthree ways self-reflection,
tracking progress and exploringemotions.
I like that because it showslike weight loss is way more

(01:36):
than just what the scale says.
It's like a whole picture thing.
Real change means knowing yourthoughts, how you feel, how you
act, the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Right, so let's jump into some of these prompts.
Huh, starting withself-reflection.
It's like unlocking what you'vealready learned you know from
yourself.
One that stuck with me was whatrole does exercise play in my
weight loss, besides justburning calories Like?
How do you even answer that?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
That is a powerful question.
It makes you think about howexercise makes you feel.
You know, mentally, emotionally, it's not just about the
physical stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Exactly, it might be finding something you just
really love to do, likede-stressing, or even like just
celebrating what your body cando.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
When you find that deeper reason, sticking to it to
your fitness goals.
It's more fun, it lasts longer.
Okay, so tracking progress, Isee this as being like a
detective of your own habits.
You see those little wins youmight miss otherwise.
One that I saw was whatnon-scale victories have you
achieved lately?
Stuff that has nothing to dowith the number, right.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Oh, I love that one.
It reminds us that progressisn't always straight up.
Sometimes the biggest changesthey happen off the scale.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Totally.
It's like realizing you've gotmore energy, you're stronger,
celebrating those times youchose the healthy option, or
even just like seeing how faryou've come.
Exactly Small victories likethat they can really get you
going.
They remind you you're changingthings, you know, bit by bit.
Ok, time to talk about the theemotional stuff, because, let's

(03:07):
be real, our emotions, they canfeel like the biggest roadblock
sometimes.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
You're so right Our emotions, they're a huge part of
how we see food, how we see ourown bodies.
Seeing that, admitting it,that's a big first step.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
For sure, and that's where Lestallion's exploring
emotions prompts are great.
One that I thought was reallysmart was how do I cope with
emotional eating?
So many of us struggle withthat, you know, but writing
about it can help us find newways to cope, healthier ones.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's about getting out of that cycle.
You know where you turn to foodfor comfort and finding better
ways to handle stress, anxiety,sadness, all of it.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I likely suddenly realize hold on, maybe that
whole pint of ice cream isn'tthe best solution.
You know, journaling helps youfigure out what really nourishes
you body and mind.
But these prompts, they're justthe start, really.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Totally Journaling.
It's personal.
Not every prompt's going toclick with everyone, and that's
fine.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
It's about what works for you, your needs, your
journey, the whole deal.
It's about having that spacewhere you're real with yourself,
exploring your thoughts andfeelings without judging
yourself, and becoming your ownbiggest cheerleader, basically.
So what are some practical wayspeople listening can make their
journaling their own?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, if you're into visuals bullet journaling that's
a cool option.
You get to play with colors,layouts, even doodles.
It's like your journal becomesthis art piece that shows off
who you are.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Love that.
And for folks who'd rather liketalk out their thoughts have
you ever tried voice notes?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Oh, absolutely.
Sometimes just saying how youfeel it hits different than
writing it.
It's like you tap into adifferent energy and really hear
those emotions.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Right, and don't be afraid to like.
Mix it up.
Maybe you start writing, thenswitch to voice notes when you
need something different.
The point is to find what feelsgood for you.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Exactly, make journaling something you
actually want to do, not justanother thing on your to-do list
, right?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Remember, even small, consistent effort.
That's what adds up over time.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
It's about that deeper connection with yourself,
uncovering the stuff that'sgoing to really fuel your
journey.
So, as you start thisjournaling thing, remember it's
not just about the weight, it'sabout you know how you see
yourself, how that changes.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Beautifully put.
And if your journal couldactually talk right now?
Give you just one piece ofadvice.
What do you think it'd say?

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Whoa, that is deep.
It really makes you think, huhlike, we've got so much wisdom
already inside us.
