In this monologue, the speaker discusses a common pattern among women where unsuccessful dieting is internalized as a personal flaw rather than attributing it to external factors. This self‑blame fuels negative self‑talk, such as blaming genetics or personal mistakes, especially when observing others' weight loss successes. The speaker argues that recognizing how cravings, fasting, exercise, and social activities naturally fluctuate across the menstrual cycle can alleviate this mindset. By aligning these health‑related behaviors with the different phases of the month—fasting, exercising, and socializing in ways that suit hormonal changes—women can feel more in sync with their bodies, reduce self‑criticism, and improve weight‑loss outcomes.

One thing I've learned about women and the dark side of us is that when we can't succeed at something, especially when it comes to dieting, we don't think of it like the diet was the fault. We don't think of it like the trainer didn't train us right. We think of it as our problem. And so we turn within and we turn on ourselves and we start saying things to ourselves like, yeah, I've never been able to succeed at losing weight. I must have bad genetics. I must have done something wrong. I'm watching everybody else lose weight. And then we're back at the negative self-talk. And that is why it's important to get just something as simple as you crave different things at different times of the month. You should fast differently. You should exercise differently. You should socialize differently at different times of the month. And if you understood that, everything would feel right for you. I absolutely promise you.
