Today, we’re diving into something that matters more than any diet or exercise plan - how you talk to yourself. Your inner dialogue shapes your relationship with your body, your worth, and how you move through life. Here’s what we’re covering:
- Your self-talk matters. It impacts your motivation, happiness, and mental health.
- As you age, your perception of yourself changes. I look at myself so differently now than I did in my 20s, and it’s a game-changer.
- Negative self-talk holds you back. Ask yourself: "Would I say this to someone I love?" If not, reframe it!
- Reframing your thoughts: Notice the thought, challenge its truth, and replace it with a positive affirmation.
- Other tools: Mindfulness, meditation, and gratitude journaling can help you shift your mindset and build self-compassion.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Step Off the Scale, the podcast where we
are redefining health andhappiness beyond the numbers.
I am your host, ashley Wright,a dietician for over a decade,
mom of two and craft beer lover.
Together, we'll say goodbye torestrictive diets and learn
simple strategies to help youactually enjoy your food again,
without guilt.
(00:20):
Now let's dive in togetherwithout guilt.
Now let's dive in together.
Well, hello there and welcomeback to another episode of Step
Off the Scale.
I am so thrilled that you'rehere with me today and I wanted
to tell you about a littlesomething before we get into
today's episode, so you can nowtext me right from this episode.
(00:41):
So if you look in the shownotes below, you'll see a little
link there and if you click itit sends a text right to me.
So if you have some feedback,things you want to share with me
, I would be so excited to hearfrom you.
So today I really wanted totalk to you about something that
is just on my heart everysingle day as I'm talking to my
(01:02):
clients and, honestly, I thinkit's one of the most important
pieces of the puzzle when itcomes to building a healthy
relationship with food, but,more importantly, a healthier
relationship with yourself, andthat is your inner dialogue.
But before we get into that, Iwant to share something else
with you.
After being a dietitian for thepast 14 years, I've realized
(01:27):
something that's reallyimportant.
I could give you all thenutrition tips in the world.
I could talk to you about carbs, proteins, fats, tracking,
macros, exercise, all thesethings that we've been told that
we need to focus on right.
But here's the thing those arenot the most important things.
Like seriously, the foundationof everything that I teach comes
(01:50):
down to something that is waydeeper.
It's about your relationshipwith food, yes, but also about
how you talk to yourself, howyou view yourself, your body and
your self-worth, and that isway more important than any
number on the damn scale, andtoday we're going to talk about
that, because that is really thekey to everything else.
(02:12):
Let me tell you a little storyabout myself.
When I was in my 20s, I was sohard on myself about my body.
I would obsess over everylittle thing.
I'd look in the mirror andthink, oh gosh, I don't look
like these other girls walkingaround in their stretchy pants
and UGG boots.
I went to Penn State forcollege and there was a zillion
of us.
That's like 40,000 students oncampus, so there were a lot of
(02:34):
girls to compare yourself to, ofcourse, and it was so easy to
get stuck in that trap and,looking back, I honestly think,
like what the heck did I evenhave to worry about?
You know, I was young, I washealthy, I had a body that was
just fine, you know.
But I was my harshest critic,and I think that is the case for
so many of us, and I think it'sjust totally time for that to
(02:56):
change.
So now we're going to circleback almost 20 years.
Now I'm almost 40.
I have two kids, I still havethat postpartum body and I'm
definitely a few sizes up fromthat crazy 20-something-year-old
girl who was comparing herselfto everybody else.
And guess what?
I feel so much better in my ownskin now than I ever did back
(03:18):
then.
I look at myself differently,and why?
Because I've learned somethingthat is just so critical.
It's not about what my bodylooks like, but it's about how I
view myself and how I talk tomyself, and that is exactly what
I'm going to share with youtoday.
This is one criticallyimportant piece of the puzzle
that has completely transformedthe way that I feel about myself
(03:41):
and my body, and this issomething that I instill on all
of the clients that I feel aboutmyself and my body, and this is
something that I instill on allof the clients that I work with
.
So today we're going to talkabout internal dialogue, and
that's the way that you talk toyourself every single day.
So I have a simple questionthat I want you to ask yourself
when those negative thoughts popup, and then we're going to
learn how to reframe them tosupport the healthiest
(04:04):
relationship with yourself.
By the end of this episode,you'll be equipped with the
tools that you need to changethe narrative and start feeling
empowered, no matter whereyou're at on your journey.
Now, I know we're not all goingto be perfect with this right.
We're still going to have thosedays where we're just shitting
on ourselves, and that's anormal human response.
We all tend to do that.
We live with ourselves day inand day out, but the more that
(04:26):
we can start to implement thesethings, the better we're going
to feel over time.
Remember, we're never going tobe perfect, but we can certainly
get a hell of a lot better.
First, I want to break thingsdown a little bit, so I want to
talk about understandingnegative self-talk.
So negative self-talk is alittle voice inside your head
that constantly criticizes,doubts or belittles you.
(04:48):
It's that voice that tells youI'm not good enough, I'm not
doing enough, I'll never measureup, oh my gosh, I can't do this
, I can't do that, and oh mygosh, it's so exhausting.
Right, but here's the thingwhen you constantly engage in
these types of thoughts, ittakes a toll on your motivation,
your self-worth and youroverall mental health, and over
(05:11):
time, this kind of thinking canlead to a whole lot of feelings
of just feeling overwhelmed.
It can contribute to anxiety.
Of course, I deal with thatmyself and it just becomes like
this snowball effect.
It starts small, like theselittle things that come in their
mind, and then, like our brainsare really good at running
flipping wild, and then it justaffects how we show up in our
(05:34):
day to day life.
So think about it.
How often do you have thoughtslike this?
After you say like, make amistake at work, you're like, oh
gosh, I'm so incompetent, I'llnever get this right.
No, okay, valley girl's comingout in me now.
Or you're scrolling throughsocial media and you're like
everyone else's life looksperfect.
(05:55):
Why can't I get it together.
It looks like their toddler'slistening.
Why the hell is mine notlistening?
Those are questions I askmyself, because my
three-year-old gives me a runfor my money, right?
Or have you ever felt like youknow, when you face this setback
?
You know like you've changedyour eating habits, you've been
exercising every day, you'vedone all these things, and then
(06:15):
you have a birthday or a holidayor a Tuesday or something gets
in your way that didn't go asyou planned and you think, oh,
I'm never going to reach mygoals, I'm always failing that
frigging word failing.
I hate it, because we're neverfailing.
We are just learning and we aregetting knowledge, moving
forward, taking the good,leaving the rest behind.
(06:38):
So these thoughts just sneak upon us right, and, without even
realizing it, we start tobelieve them.
But here's the thing I want youto stop for a second and ask
yourself this question Would yousay any of this to someone that
you love?
Would you talk to your bestfriend like that?
(06:58):
Would you talk to your daughterlike that?
Your mom, you're not going tosay to your daughter oh well,
honey, you're never going toreach your goals.
I guess you're just going tofail Right, like, come on now.
So we got to live withourselves all day, every day.
So why are we talking toourselves this way?
You know it's something that weneed to work on changing and
(07:19):
it's just so incrediblyimportant.
I cannot stress it enough.
So, now that you know thisquestion to ask yourself, you
know, think of, like the personthat you love the most in the
world, like your best friendthat you've known for like 20
years, you know, or it's maybe acolleague who you are super
close with Think about when youstart saying crappy things to
(07:40):
yourself.
Think about that person.
Imagine them in front of youand say would I say that to this
person looking at me right now?
And if the answer is no, thenwe need to reframe.
So now we're going to go intothe reframing technique, okay?
So if the answer is no to thatquestion, right where you say no
, I would not say that to mybest friend, I would not say
(08:01):
that to my awesome coworker,right?
So when we ask these questions,then we need to go into our
reframing and that's where webecome aware of what's going on
in our mind.
And then we check in withourselves to see if it aligns of
how you treat someone that youlove.
So this is how we're gonna workthrough this and reframe it.
(08:22):
So the first thing I want you todo is notice the thought.
This is the first step toawareness.
Just start noticing when thesenegative thoughts pop up, and a
great way to do this is to keepa journal or make a note on your
phone, and every time that youcatch yourself thinking
something negative, I just wantyou to notice it.
This is not to berate yourselfabout it.
This is just to be like hmm,I'm noticing this thought, I'm
(08:44):
noticing these things that I'mthinking about.
Step two the next thing you needto do is challenge that thought
.
Ask yourself is this thoughtreally true?
Do I have any actual evidencefor this, or is it just an
assumption?
Is there actual proof?
And a lot of the time, there isno freaking proof at all.
These negative thoughts arejust stories that we've been
(09:06):
telling ourselves and they arenot rooted in reality at all.
So once we start to think aboutthat challenge like well, how?
No, this isn't actually true,why am I even thinking this?
Now, we can flip things aroundand replace it with a positive
affirmation.
So if you catch yourselfthinking I'm a failure, reframe
(09:27):
it and then say I'm learning andevery step that I take is
progress.
Or instead of I can't do this,change it to.
I am more than capable and I'vedone hard things before.
We all have right.
So by practicing this reframing, you're not just trying to
change your thoughts, you'rechanging your whole mindset.
(09:49):
This leads to improvedemotional well-being, better
self-esteem and a more positiveoutlook on life.
It's simple and it's just thisincredibly powerful shift that
we can do every single day.
You can implement this rightnow.
Okay, so just start to gatherthat information, just observe
(10:11):
the thought, maybe jot it down,challenge it and reframe it.
That's all I want you to dotoday.
If you catch yourself with onethought and do that, then you've
won.
Okay.
Now I want to also tell youabout some other strategies that
we can use to cultivate thatpositive self-talk.
So one strategy that can reallyhelp is mindfulness and
(10:34):
meditation.
Now, meditation is somethingthat I've been practicing myself
for I don't even know a year,year and a half, probably at
this point.
I'm not perfect at it.
I don't do it every day.
I have every intention to, butyou know the best laid plans,
right, meditation andmindfulness and breathing is
something that can really helpus, even if you just take a
second and take a actual full,deep breath.
(10:57):
I mean, how often do weactually do that?
We're always running so quickly.
But if we take those fewmoments to do some deep
breathing and we take some timeto meditate, even if it's just a
couple minutes, that can reallyhelp you to stay present and
detach from those negativethoughts.
So it doesn't take a whole lotof time and you can keep it
(11:17):
really easy.
The second thing that we can dois gratitude journaling.
Now, this is something that atthe end of the day, when you're
getting ready for bed, just havea little notebook on your
nightstand and write down a fewthings that you're grateful for,
or write down three things thatwent really well for you today.
It's so easy to focus on allthe stuff that we feel like
(11:38):
we're not doing well that weforget about all the good things
that we did.
You know, if you're like dang,my toddler didn't have a temper
tantrum today, or I actuallycooked a homemade meal today, or
I was able to just feed myfamily today, right, those are
things that we need to celebrateand we often forget about all
the things that we're doing well.
(11:59):
So over time.
This will also help you tobuild a more positive internal
dialogue.
The other thing that we can dois seek support.
You know, whether that'stalking things through with a
friend or a therapist, whateveryou need, there is no shame in
doing any of that at all.
I've talked to a therapist manytimes myself throughout my life
, and it's always good to getsomebody else's opinion,
(12:22):
somebody else that's on theoutside right.
You're stuck in your own brainall the time, so we need to get
things out of our mind and talkthrough them, you know, and we
can get it out of our brain bywriting it down or talking about
it, but just know that help isalways available to you, right?
There's always somebody that wecan reach out to, and if you
need somebody to reach out, toreach out to me.
I'm happy to talk to you abouta lot of these things, as I am
(12:46):
just on this big mission in mylife to help women stop being so
hard on themselves and stopbeing so obsessive over the
scale and their bodies and justembrace their life and be
happier and feel healthy andconfident in their own self.
That is truly what I'm allabout.
So a couple things that I wantyou to keep in mind is remember
that your relationship withyourself is everything.
(13:08):
It affects your health, yourhappiness and your ability to
move through life with ease.
It's not always going to besuper easy, but it can be easier
.
Right, by questioning andreframing those negative
thoughts, you're nurturing acompassionate and empowering
internal dialogue with yourself.
So for this next week, I wantyou to practice this reframing
technique.
Notice when you have thenegative thought and ask
(13:31):
yourself would I say this tosomeone I love?
If the answer is no, which I'msure it is right Then replace it
with something positive, andyou might be surprised at how
big of a difference that thisone little question can make.
So remember, the way that youspeak to yourself matters.
It sets the tone for everythingelse in your life, and I'd love
(13:52):

you.

something that can really helpus, even if you just take a
second and take a actual full,deep breath.
(10:57):
I mean, how often do weactually do that?
We're always running so quickly.
But if we take those fewmoments to do some deep
breathing and we take some timeto meditate, even if it's just a
couple minutes, that can reallyhelp you to stay present and
detach from those negativethoughts.
So it doesn't take a whole lotof time and you can keep it
(11:17):
really easy.
The second thing that we can dois gratitude journaling.
Now, this is something that atthe end of the day, when you're
getting ready for bed, just havea little notebook on your
nightstand and write down a fewthings that you're grateful for,
or write down three things thatwent really well for you today.
It's so easy to focus on allthe stuff that we feel like
(11:38):
we're not doing well that weforget about all the good things
that we did.
You know, if you're like dang,my toddler didn't have a temper
tantrum today, or I actuallycooked a homemade meal today, or
I was able to just feed myfamily today, right, those are
things that we need to celebrateand we often forget about all
the things that we're doing well.
(11:59):
So over time.
This will also help you tobuild a more positive internal
dialogue.
The other thing that we can dois seek support.
You know, whether that'stalking things through with a
friend or a therapist, whateveryou need, there is no shame in
doing any of that at all.
I've talked to a therapist manytimes myself throughout my life
, and it's always good to getsomebody else's opinion,
(12:22):
somebody else that's on theoutside right.
You're stuck in your own brainall the time, so we need to get
things out of our mind and talkthrough them, you know, and we
can get it out of our brain bywriting it down or talking about
it, but just know that help isalways available to you, right?
There's always somebody that wecan reach out to, and if you
need somebody to reach out, toreach out to me.
I'm happy to talk to you abouta lot of these things, as I am
(12:46):
just on this big mission in mylife to help women stop being so
hard on themselves and stopbeing so obsessive over the
scale and their bodies and justembrace their life and be
happier and feel healthy andconfident in their own self.
That is truly what I'm allabout.
So a couple things that I wantyou to keep in mind is remember
that your relationship withyourself is everything.
(13:08):
It affects your health, yourhappiness and your ability to
move through life with ease.
It's not always going to besuper easy, but it can be easier
.
Right, by questioning andreframing those negative
thoughts, you're nurturing acompassionate and empowering
internal dialogue with yourself.
So for this next week, I wantyou to practice this reframing
technique.
Notice when you have thenegative thought and ask
(13:31):
yourself would I say this tosomeone I love?
If the answer is no, which I'msure it is right Then replace it
with something positive, andyou might be surprised at how
big of a difference that thisone little question can make.
So remember, the way that youspeak to yourself matters.
It sets the tone for everythingelse in your life, and I'd love
(13:52):
to hear how you're reframingyour thoughts, how this helped
you.
I would love to know how itwent for you.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
