Program Yourself Thin Live 7-9-26

Everyone, welcome to today's program, Yourself Thin podcast. Today we're talking about treat yourself the way you treat others. You know, when it comes to weight loss, the golden rule really we should go the opposite way of that, right? You do not want to treat yourself the way that you treat yourself normally, right? Because usually we're the meanest to ourselves when it comes to weight, especially. So this is where we come up with the idea of start talking to yourself the way you would talk to someone who you like or care about, someone who you love in your life. You would never talk to them the way that you talk to yourself. Because the way you talk to yourself is mean and cruel and punitive. And that is not a way to get the results you want, right? This is why you don't talk to them that way. There's people in your life you want to help more than anything in the world. You wouldn't berate them. You wouldn't put them down. You wouldn't make them feel bad about themselves. So why do you do it to you? Why do you talk to yourself that way? I know deep down you think that that's going to help you get to where you want to go. But it's time for you to take a look at that and really evaluate, is that working the way you expect it to? Is being mean to yourself really helping you achieve the goals you want to achieve? Or is it possible that talking to yourself that way is one of the primary reasons you're stuck? Because the meaner you are to yourself, the worse you feel. And the worse you feel, the worse you eat, typically. Because when you're so mean to yourself, you kind of grind yourself down into a pulp. You get to the point where I don't give a shit, I don't care what I eat, I don't care, I can't do this anyways. So we got to start speaking to ourselves the way we speak to other people. The golden rule in reverse. That's the secret to getting much better results, um, in terms of how you talk to yourself. Now, where did this voice come from? Okay, because it's not that it's there for necessarily a bad reason. Like I said, deep down, I believe you're talking to yourself that way because you think it's going to help you. You think it's going to help you, right? Why? Probably because you grew up around that. Most likely what's happened is you've internalized the voice of the disciplinarian in your life. Maybe it was your mom. Maybe it was your dad. Maybe it was someone else. Maybe it was a teacher you had, whatever. But what happened is you got spoken to that way and now that's how you speak to yourself. But it doesn't work. It seems like it should work, I guess, but it doesn't. And again, the proof's in the pudding. You would never speak to the people you care about that way. Because you know it doesn't work. You know it crushes people, so you don't do it. And yet you unleash this on yourself constantly. So you need to recognize it first and change it second. What does the change look like? This is the fun part, because what happens if you're not mean to yourself? What happens if you're not super critical of yourself? Are you just gonna completely go off the deep end? You're not gonna care anymore and you're just gonna eat and, you know, put a bunch of weight on? I don't believe so, because the alternative sounds like this. Oh, you made a mistake with your eating. It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes. What was going on? Oh, you were tired. Oh, you were really hungry. You didn't eat earlier. That's okay. Next time, let's make sure we get something to eat healthy in the morning. Let's make sure we get to bed a little bit earlier so we're rested and we'll do better next time around. It's okay. It's the end of the world. We got— every day is another opportunity to turn it all around. It's going to be okay. Let's keep moving. In what world is that voice not going to get you better results than the voice that said, oh, look, you did it again. You no wonder you don't deserve to lose weight. You're not even serious. You don't even care. See, mom was right. You're a loser. You can't even stick to anything. In what world is that voice going to get you better results than the positive supportive one? And I put them next to each other so you can see it clearly. 'Cause I know deep down you keep defending that voice. Stop, stop defending it and start arguing against it and saying, good Lord, I'm trying to do my best here. I really am. You know, we can try to do our best and still come up short. It happens. And so when I make mistakes, do you mind being a little more supportive? Maybe could you help me out? Right? Again, if we think about this in real life, we take that voice in your head and turn it into a person. Who the hell wants to be around that? Who wants to be beaten down and attacked and criticized every time you try and do something? And especially when you make a mistake and screw up, how can that possibly help you long-term compared to a warm, supportive, encouraging voice? You can still have motivation to want to change your weight and do it in a comfortable, calm, encouraging, supportive way. Think about everything you've learned in your life. Was it not taught to you that way? When you learned how to read and write, when you made a mistake, did the teacher jump down your throat and belittle you and make fun of you and humiliate you? Or did they encourage you? When you learned to ride a bike, was someone laughing at you every time you fell and mocking you? Or was someone being supportive and saying, come on, you can do it? I mean, you've got a whole history of when you're supported and encouraged, you get much better results than when you're criticized and attacked. And it's no different with how we talk to ourselves in our head. Now, I want you to know something. You're never going to get rid of that negative voice completely. It's never going to go away. It's part of you, and that's okay. You can still change. It's not about getting rid of that negative voice. It's about developing and encouraging and growing the positive supportive voice. And as I always say, when I make mistakes now, that negative voice is still first on the scene. It pops off, says some negative stuff. The big difference now is that the encouraging, supportive voice is right there after it. And it balances me out and helps redirect me. And that's what I want for you, because once you have this, not only do you get better results, but it just feels so much better to go about it this way. And if you want some support in creating this encouraging, supportive voice, click the link in my bio or go to programyourselfthin.com and go get the free hypnosis session I made for you.. It is a way to start speaking to yourself more calmly, encouragingly, and supportively. So I hope that you go and listen to this because it can be a real game changer. I had someone write yesterday, it immediately changed how they were eating and responding after they listened to it. It has that kind of potential. So go check it out. It's completely free. Just click the link in my bio or go to programyourselfthin.com and go listen to it. If you're in Facebook or YouTube, I'll put the link up in the chat window. See it. I'm just— I'm switching up my camera thing, so it's now in front of me. So now I have to figure out where, where things are. Anyways, hope you're all having a great day. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. Talking about weight, talking about, uh, anything to do with it. So if you're struggling, feel free to ask some questions. Maybe I can give you some suggestions that'll help you. I can promise you one thing, what I will say to you will probably different than than what you typically hear. And, uh, that's my goal, is at least give you a different perspective and a different option, uh, for how you're going to manage your weight. And, uh, I think when you have better options, you obviously get better results. And I think that's the biggest trap for most dieters, is that they aren't even looking for better options. They're just trying to go from diet to diet, and you're stuck in that diet mentality. So I'm here to help get you out of it, help free you from it. But yeah, if you got any questions, feel free to ask them. Carolyn. Carolyn says, we sure are super critical to ourselves. Yes, absolutely. People tend to be extremely critical of themselves. And, you know, there are reasons for this. You know, it's not just out of the blue. I mean, everyone does it pretty much. So there are reasons for it, but it's got to be addressed. I think— I just think unless you're getting great results, you know, that's the thing. You know, if you're, you know, 45-plus and you're getting amazing results and you're really negative to yourself, then ignore what I just said. Okay, but if you are not getting the results you want, then it might be a good opportunity to reflect on that negative voice in your head. If it's actually the voice you want to listen to, you know, is that the voice you want to listen to? What's up, Jane? Jane said, I had a great conversation with Jim AI after talking so meanly to myself when I bought a bunch of candy on the way home from dance last night. He helped me to see what I could not see for myself, and that was all the things that were causing me to be anxious. I thought I was calm, but I was not. I'm so glad you mentioned that, Jane. Um, I thought I was calm, but I'm not. I hear that constantly. And again, that goes back to one of the kind of general big rules in Program Yourself Thin is that everything starts with awareness. Because as humans, we're wired to be unaware of regular things. We habituate, we assimilate. We normalize to reality, and stress is one of those things. So our stress can kind of crank up over time, but we normalize to it. And next thing you know, because again, there's being super stressed and there's being just regularly stressed, and we start to normalize regular stress as being calm. Everything's relative. And so yeah, I think that's a huge discovery, Jane, that if you're really stressed out and you thought you were calm then first off, what happens is you're just blind to it and you can't see that as a factor that's impacting your decisions. You're just blind to it. Literally, you don't see it. Give me— I'll give you the example. I always use this. I think it's such a great example of how your brain deletes things that are always in its life. If you close one eye and look at your nose, you see it. Close the other eye and look at your nose, you see it. Open both eyes, your brain deletes your nose. Because what's the point of seeing your nose? It doesn't— there's no value to it. So your brain just deletes it from your awareness. You even though it's there. And so it's the same thing with a lot of behaviors, a lot of emotions that we feel. So for Jane, feeling tense or anxious is a regular thing, but she's blind to it. And so she's not seeing how that's impacting her decisions. And if you can't see it, you can't fix it. This is why awareness is always the first step. We can't fix what we don't know is broken. So that's a wonderful discovery, Jane. And again, this is the path. The path is not just acting right. That's not the path. This is a funny shit. I'll tell you, from my point of view, the idea that you're just going to start a diet on Monday and just act right from now on is just literally one of the silliest concepts that I've ever heard. Dieting— oh my God, I say this all the time, but I swear dieting is the number one psychological operation ever, ever pulled over on a society. It's such a bunch of bullshit, the dieting mindset. Um, but anyways, yeah, so anyways, Jane, you're walking the real path. You're walking the genuine path, which is a path that is preceded with discovery. Discovery, becoming aware of what it is that's going on, because you're not. If you're struggling with things, folks, I promise you, you're unaware of a lot of stuff. A lot of people, I know what to do, I know what to do, I just can't get myself to do it, Jim. Mindset. No, I don't need all that dumb shit. I need— I know what to do, I just got to get myself to do it. Good lord, I hear that one more time. What's up, Jackie? Jackie said, yesterday I had some sweets after dinner and even one of the chocolate mousse cakes I love and didn't let the mistake make me spiral. I was nervous my weight would be higher today in the morning, but it actually went down slightly. I'm glad I didn't freak out and just continue Uh, with the sweets all night, and I just stopped after a couple. Wonderful job, Jackie, I'm proud of you. Again, that ability to moderate is a skill, and it's something that every time we get started on something, we can work on it. So that's wonderful. And in a weird way, like, getting a little caught up in— and sometimes is better off than not getting caught up at all, because every time you get caught up a little bit and you manage it, you're practicing that skill. That's a unique skill that most people don't have. Because most dieters are all or nothing, right? They call it— with dieters, they call it the what the hell effect. You all know that, right? Are you doing perfect and then you make a mistake and now what the hell cares? Doesn't matter now, right? It does matter, right? We're looking to statistically improve as many different things as we can, and one of the biggest things you can focus on as a category is when you start to walk down the wrong path, how quickly can you stop yourself? How quickly can you get yourself back on the right track, right? That's the big question. And so that's a huge, um, accomplishment, Jackie. It's a very big deal, and it's one of the central, I think, skills that allows you to master your weight. All right, Jane says, I'm glad I started what I did. 3 months in, I'm still big. Yeah, well, you know, congratulations. 3 months is great, but at the same time, 3 months really isn't a big— it's not that long. I, I'm not here to freak you out. I think it's, it's amazing that you start and you've been doing it for 3 months, but at the same time, we got to zoom out and realize nothing, nothing really big happens in 3 months. You got to think of your weight like college, you know, and it's like, you know, you do the first semester, it's a huge accomplishment, but at the same time, it's just a little accomplishment that leads to the big accomplishment you're looking to achieve. So great job getting started. Um, but you know, the real results you're looking for, and again, I don't know what your size is or what your goals are, um, but almost always, you know, short of having less, you know, less than 10 or 15 pounds to lose perhaps, um, you know, you're talking 6 months to a year minimum to really start getting the results you want. And then who gives a shit how long it takes because you want to live at your goal weight for the rest of your life. So get rid of the timeline in your head. This timeline you have in your head of how fast you have to get results in order to stay motivated is one of the biggest things that sabotages dieters. So great job starting, Jane, and just keep going. Yeah, 3 months is, uh, you know, how we get to 6 months, and 6 months how we get to a year. Years how we get to 5 years. 5 years how we get to a decade. A decade's how we get to a lifetime, you know. And so that, that's wonderful that you got started, and now look at what you've done the last 3 months and optimize on it. And what I mean by that is not cut more calories. I mean look at what you've done and optimize it by looking, how can I do what I've been doing more comfortably, easier, more enjoyably. If you all will keep constantly optimizing what you're doing to make it easier, more enjoyable, and more comfortable, you are going to be shocked at where you're at 3 months from now, 6 months from now, a year from now, 5 years from now. That's the path. That's the secret, in my opinion. You know, what's up, Connie? Connie says, I'll have it later. Yes, that's one of the big mantras we use in the program to help deal with cravings. It's very, very powerful one. Um, they studied that one over in a pretty interesting study, but that's a great mantra to say. Uh, what's up Susan? Susan says, what can you substitute for food as a drug? I'm going through a tough time with my health. I'm scared and I'm looking at some good-looking treats. I don't want to indulge because I'll get into a guilt cycle and blow it. I've come so far. Um, okay, I— well, I kind of like the question. I'm not sure if I love the framing, but I get what you're saying. So Um, what can you substitute food for as a drug? I'm going to reframe that question for you. Okay. Because really what you're looking for is how can I feel— okay, so I'm guessing I'm scared and I'm looking at some good-looking treats. So this is a flavor of emotional eating, and this particular one is scared and stressed, I'm going to assume. So I'm going to assume Susan's feeling scared and stressed. 'cause of some health issues. And like most people, she has learned to manage her emotions through food. Food's probably her main emotional management strategy. It's most of yours. Okay. We've been conditioned that way. It's not a judgment. It's, it just is what it is. We live in a society that's trained us since birth to use food as our main emotional management strategy. So here's Susan feeling stressed and scared. And she doesn't know how to manage that other than food. And so what we're really looking to do here, the way I reframe this is the first question I want to ask is, I know you feel scared and stressed. So my first question is, what would you like to feel instead? I know you feel scared and stressed. What do you want to feel though in this situation as you understand it? What would you like to feel? What would be ideal for you? And once I get that answer, then that becomes the next question. So let's just say, for example, you feel scared and stressed and you want to feel courageous and calm. Let's just say, okay. And again, you can input whatever word you want, but now the question becomes, how can I feel courageous and calm in this situation I'm in? Now you've sent your mind in a different direction. Now, the calm one's the easier one here, right? So right off the bat, how can you feel more calm? Well, I don't know you, so I don't know what things you like to do. Maybe going for a walk, maybe taking a nap out in the backyard in the sun, um, maybe taking a hot shower, maybe calling a friend, maybe getting a massage, maybe taking a yoga class, maybe doing some breathing exercises. I don't know, but there is an answer to that question. How can I feel more calm? I would obsess on that question and I would begin to explore the paths that were laid out in front of me. I would try those different things I just mentioned and see if I started to feel more calm. Next question, how can I feel more courageous? Again, this takes a little bit of kind of back and forth, but I'll kind of fill in the blanks and see if this helps at all. How can I feel more courageous? Well, I'm gonna have to think differently about this. I've been through other things maybe like this and I came out the other side okay. I know that if I do these right things, then I'll get better. Or given some time, these things will fix up. Or I'm not sure what's going to happen and I'm uncertain. How do I want to feel about that? I want to feel okay with it. I want to be present. I want to feel grateful for where I'm at right now. And hopefully the future is going to go where I want to go. Again, hard to fill in the blanks when I don't have the more details, but this is how I would approach that. And I think that's a much more specific way to go at it than, you know, obviously food, because you could have the food, but all the food's doing in this situation is distracting you from the scared, stressed feelings for a few moments. And as soon as you're done eating, the scared and the stress are going to come back. And on top of it, now you get to have that guilt cycle as well. So it's just not a good way to manage your emotions because it never really manages them. It just distracts you from them., and then you're left feeling even worse afterwards. So hope that helps. Jane says, when I think about how I got dressed this morning, I stood in front of the mirror and said to myself, wow, look at the shape of my ass. So critical. Yeah, right. A lot of people do that. And, um, again, you're always going to do that. You have a— your brain has a negativity bias. You're always going to be more negative than positive. There's no way around it. It's hardwired into every human being has a negativity bias because having a negativity bias over the history of being a human is really the thing that led to us surviving. It's a survival skill. It was more important to remember where the lion was than the beautiful flower. So we've all evolved into our little brains when we're born a negativity bias. We're always going to have it. So that's why I'm trying to tell you, you're never not going to get dressed and probably have some negative thing. It might never happen. I still— I still— same thing here. Okay. But you can have that negative bias and still have a positive one, but you have to develop it. It's something you have to intentionally develop, like you'd have to intentionally develop a muscle. But what happens is you say the negative thing about how you look automatically. But then you say something nice about yourself. I know, like, nice about myself, happy horseshit. Oh yeah, okay. And I know, I get it, I've been there. I, I get it, I'm as sarcastic as it comes. But when you don't start being nice to yourself, you tend to just give yourself more negative shit. So that's true too. Yeah, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them. Any questions are welcome. Hey, all right, Jane says, yeah, 3 stone. Yeah, my timeline's gone now, it's a lifestyle thing. Yeah, that's wonderful, Jane. Yeah, it's a lifestyle thing, right? It's forever. That's what we all have to kind of reinforce in our mind over and over and over and over and over again, because dieting that we've been conditioned by our entire lives is always telling us, you got this long to do it, how much weight can you lose this week, how How much was this week, right? Everything's short-term, but we've got to balance that out by focusing on the long term. Yeah, user 248 says, alcohol, this is— that is what I'm— what I do. I drink and listen to music and lift weights. Okay, I don't hear that a lot. I don't hear that a lot, drinking and lifting weights. Okay, that's, that's an odd combination for— I, I, yeah, I would think you get tired out, but hey, it works, it works. Then again, yeah, maybe not, right? You get, you get those beer muscles, you know, you just— I don't know, I guess you can push stuff harder. That's interesting. I have not heard that. You gotta lift weights quick though. You can't get too drunk and do it. You drop weights on your head. What's up, Kent? Kent says, getting to my mid-60s was magical. Feeling good is so much more important than looking good. Agreed, agreed. I talk about this all the time. I mean, we all want to look good. You're never going to lose that, but feeling good is way more relevant to your life. I'm letting you know, you know, and that's a core problem most dieters have is that their main motivation is wanting to look better, not feel better. And don't bullshit me. I don't, don't say that because I know you feel, oh no, I want to feel better. No, health really matters. Uh, no, it doesn't. Because dieting— it's your entire life dieting is talked about before and after pictures, which is all about what you look like. And so honestly, unless you've done some deeper work, when you think about losing weight, it's primarily about looking better. And I hate to tell you, but wanting to look better is usually not enough motivation for most people. Don't tell me it is. I can't tell you the number of arguments I get into people when I say that. No, no, Jimmy, I really want to lose weight. Oh yeah? Why aren't you at your goal weight then? Why aren't you actively losing weight then? If you're so motivated, why aren't you losing weight? Trying to sound like an asshole here, but it's like, if you're not actively losing weight, don't tell me how motivated you are because I don't believe it. I really don't. I have never seen someone who's truly motivated not lose weight. I've never seen it. Now, you may not lose weight this week. You may not even lose weight this month. But if you're super serious and you're really motivated, you're going to lose weight. So if you're not losing weight, you know, and this is— I say this all the time because dieters don't realize this— most dieters think that they're motivated a level 10 when in reality they're motivated like a level 4, if that. Thinking about losing weight all day long is not motivation. Please don't confuse the two, you know. This is why in Program Yourself Thin we follow the goal weight pyramid and we start with mindset, and the very first thing we focus on and talk about is motivation. Because most dieters don't know how to motivate themselves. Uh, what's up, Lois? Lois says, this morning I didn't want to go to my exercise class but told myself how much better I would feel if I did. I made the class and it was so good and fun with friends. Lois, that's awesome. That reminds me, last night, um, I went out kayaking. It was awesome. Um, and on the way home, my son wanted to go get a milkshake because his teeth tightened so he can't really eat. Sure. And so I walk in there, I've been paddling the whole time, you know what I mean? I was kind of feeling hungry. I'm like, oh man, I want to get— they start getting my Chipwich. I love Chipwiches. You never know those little ice cream cookies with ice cream in the middle, like the chips around the edge. That's the part I like the most. And, um, I was like, I really want to get one. Oh, they got them again. I'm gonna get one. I went over, I look out, they got them, they got them. And I'm like, yeah, I don't want that though. It's 8:30 now, right? If it was 7 o'clock, I would have got it, but I'm like, it's 8:30. I'm like, I don't want to eat this now. I know this is going to screw up my sleep. I'm going to feel— I'm not going to sleep right. I don't want that. And that's where I put my focus. And I don't like— I don't, I don't want to— no, I'll get it later. I'll do it some other time. I'm going to get one. I'm thinking about— I'm going to get one. Not tonight. I don't want to do this at 8:30. You know, if it was earlier, I would have done it. I don't want— I don't want to sleep like shit tonight. I want to get up tomorrow. I got stuff I want to do. I want to do that stuff. So that's programming your mind. You understand? That's driving the bus. That's you taking control of the wheel. When you do things like that. And it's very powerful, okay? Because you're always deciding what you're going to do on a subconscious level, though. Please understand, it's not a willpower thing. It's the, it's the background machinations of your mind that are driving you that you're not even aware of. Program Yourself, then we take those background things and we make them, we bring them into our awareness and we start to take control of them. And some of them run automatically and some of them we have to grab the wheel real quick because I was autopiling myself, right, to get the ice cream. I said, oh nope, hold on, hold on, take— I'll take the wheel now, thank you. No, we're going to drive ourselves to say no, I don't want to, I don't want to deal with that tonight. Lois did the same thing. We're getting ourselves to go to exercise. Nice job, Lois. Um, Carolyn says, can you talk a bit more about the mantra have it later? Yeah, uh, I'll have it later is one of the most powerful phrases you can say when confronted with a craving for a food. And this is based on a study they did. They brought these people in and they made sure they were hungry and then they had them sitting at a table and they would offer them desserts and they would have them say different phrases. And so sometimes the phrase was, I can't have that, I'm on a diet. No, I shouldn't. Oh, that's too many calories. I'm trying to lose weight. All the rest of it. But the magical phrase that did better than all the rest of them by a mile was, I'll have it later. And it makes a lot of sense when you really think about it, because I'll have it later doesn't cut it off. Right? When we say, oh, I can't have it, it starts to— our subconscious mind starts to— oh, I can never have it again. And it starts freaking out. Oh, I'm on a diet. Oh, I can't have it. As soon as we feel like we can't have it, we start freaking out. I'll have it later. We can still have it. We're just pushing it out further into the distance. And that's a lot more comfortable for our nervous system and mind than I can't have that. Because our mind interprets that as I can never have it again. And so we start freaking out. Oh my God, I never have it again. This might be my last chance then. It's a very funny game that it plays. So I'll have it later is the most powerful phrase they found. And yeah, and Program Yourself Then, we build a lot around that. We have some sessions around that, um, because it's a very, very effective, um, mantra for when you're dealing with a craving. So test it out. Yeah, Susan says thank you, your answer makes a lot of sense. Good, I'm glad, Susan. I hope that helps you for real. Um, because again, that's another thing, you know, when I talk about the goal weight pyramid, um, in the mindset section, a whole nother section here that we go through is emotions. How to deal— how to feel the emotions you want to feel and how to deal with the emotions you don't want to feel. That again is a very important skill that you need to have, I believe, in order to live at your goal weight. So yeah, so Connie— Connie says, I was going to meet with my lawyer, not a big deal, but I realized I was getting tense. So I did 3 rounds of the extra inhale followed by a slow exhale. It worked wonders quickly. Again, Connie— Connie's a superstar. She's been in the program— holy shit, she's been involved with the program— how long has it been, Connie? I mean, it's 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9 years. I don't know, it's been a long time. Connie was around way back in the day. We had— we had the PYT Weekly group, which was such a fun group. Um, but yeah, still killing it. That's the point I'm trying to make too, that There's such a difference between dieting and living at your goal weight. And a lot of times what you're seeing with the program yourself, then clients, is them living at their goal weight long-term. That's the secret. That's where you got to pin your goal to. It's not enough to just lose weight, right? You've all lost weight and then put it back on. You need to figure out how to live there. And that is a different process than dieting. So that's a great one, Connie. Again, that makes a lot of sense. Again, Connie's tuned into her emotions, so when she feels herself getting tense, she has a strategy to use to relieve that naturally, no food needed. So that's wonderful. 11 years. Yeah, Connie, 11 years, huh? That's awesome. My goodness, time flies when you're having fun. I've been doing this for over 20 years professionally, so that's so exciting. Love it. Um, Jackie says, I love those cookie ice cream sandwiches with the chocolate chips on the sides too. Yeah, they're so good. I remember I used to eat them when I was a kid, and then all of a sudden they popped up again. I don't know, again, they're made out of bullshit, but whatever, you know, I eat them sometimes. I love them. Uh, Jane says— the hell, Jay, what is that, a little, little picture? I don't even know what that is. Oh, it won't show up. That's weird, huh? Ooh, sounds good. I have never had one of those. Oh, another, another ice cream treat to try. What's up, Hillary? Hillary says, Jim, did you make a list of mantras or did I dream that? I just realized I have a whole bunch of bad mantras from dieting that I need to replace. Um, no, but you just gave me a wonderful idea, Hillary. I really appreciate that and it actually excites me. I am working on this training. Oh my God, let me tell you something. I'm just gonna talk my shit for a second here. Is, um, I have been working on this training and, uh, I mean, I have done literally hundreds of trainings in my career here. This is what I do. I mean, I literally have thousands of slides of like, like we call them keynote in the Apple world, but like PowerPoint, you know, or whatever, like presentations. I have just been doing these trainings for 20 years plus. But anyway, so I'm doing the newest one. It's called Reprogrammed: How to Live at Your Goal Weight. I cannot wait for you all to get it, but it is, it is somewhat of a tedious process and it just is what it is. Um, but I am working on that, but I, I am, I am slowly getting myself to the end of it. And once I'm done with that, I'm going to be taking some time, um, pretty much in the rest of July of going back through Program Yourself Thin and kind of giving it another once-over and just tweaking some different things. But that, Hillary, is a great idea because in Program Yourself Thin, one part of the program is that there's the, the goal weight hypnosis system. So for 8 weeks, you you get a, a 5-minute hypnosis session every morning, and each session's built around a weight loss mantra. And then each week you get a 10-minute session that you listen to at night. Okay. And that comes with a core weight loss mantra, right? Each, each week is a core mantra. And so ultimately there's like, I don't know, like 70 mantras in the program. And it just made me realize that would be a great idea to just list those out. I do have them What I actually— I created like a book. It's kind of a workbook that goes with the, the hypnosis program. So you kind of look at each day, that's kind of like a nice looking picture and a little quote and some questions that are based around the mantra. So that, that exists already, but to actually have a list of them so you kind of look at them all at once would be a great idea. So I appreciate you saying that, and I will, um, work on that in the program because, yeah, just looking at the mantras whenever you just, just looking at them quick will be helpful too because that'll reinforce the sessions. I'm just going to write that down, sessions, because yeah, like I said, there's over 70 mantras and just reading them is valuable, you know, in addition to listening to hypnosis. Um, Carolyn says that's great, would love to hear all the bad mantras. Yeah, the bad mantras. I got— oh my God, that's another one I could do. Yeah, I could do a list of bad mantras. I should start putting that together. That's such a good idea too. Maybe a bad, bad dieter mantra list. That's a good idea too. Um, yeah, mantras though. Mantras are kind of how we think, you know, in, in, um, I don't know if it's psychology or whatever, but they call them heuristics, and it's kind of like shortcuts. And, um, yeah. Um, all right, Panther says see your DM. Okay, I'll check that out over on Instagram. Yeah, I'll have to look that up. And I apologize, I mean, my DMs, I never, I never really check any of them, to be honest. So, uh, uh, if you want to ever get a hold of me, you got to email me, jim@programyourselfthin.com. That's the more guaranteed way because a lot of times I just kind of miss the DMs. But I will go, hopefully remember that one, and check it out. And Connie says your NLP and hypnosis programs are a gold mine. Yes, thank you. Um, they are pretty good. I'm not gonna lie, the hypnosis program, the Goal Weight Hypnosis System alone, which is just one-third of the, the full program, is, um, I, I could sell that on its own, you know. I always go back and forth, but I don't want to do it because I think you need to have the other components to truly master your weight. Um, I'm always kind of back and forth because some people don't give a shit about mastering weight, just want to lose weight, and the hypnosis system absolutely helps people do that. Um, but anyways, I don't know, I'll keep it in mind. Maybe, maybe, maybe someday. Um, cool. You know what, I'm gonna get out of here. I got a lot I'm working on today and I'm gonna, I'm gonna get right back to it. So, uh, thank you so much everyone. I really appreciate everything you all have been sharing and, uh, asking here. Uh, makes a lot of fun to do this. So thank you so much. If you're not in my world, click the link in my bio or go to programyourselfthin.com, um, or go to this link I'm pasting in the chat. And go check it out, uh, and go get that hypnosis session. All right, I give you a bunch of other free stuff too. And then if you like this, I'm here every Monday through Friday, usually around noon Eastern, um, except for Tuesdays, I'm here at 1. And if you can't make the live, it's also a podcast. Search Program Yourself, then it'll pop up and you can listen anytime you want. And yeah, this book's available. Oh, this book's actually available as Audible. I just got the, the approval today. So if you like to listen to audiobooks, this book's available on Audible now. Okay. You'll be the first one to get it and review it. Just literally went hot off the presses this morning, I believe. So if you like audiobooks and you're not in the program— if you're in the program, it's already there. Okay. It's in the members area, in the bonus section. Okay. But if you're not in the program and you want the audio version, it's available now on Audible. Go check it out. And this book version is available on Amazon. Go check it out. So have a super day, everyone, and we'll talk soon. Bye.
