The one that says, "You can't do this," or "You're not good enough"?
When I was at my heaviest, that voice was loud.
It told me: "Why bother? You'll never lose the weight” or "You're destined to fail."
But here's what I learned: That voice isn't you. It's just fear wearing a mask, trying to keep you in your comfort zone, even if that zone is anything but comfortable.
Here's how I started to silence that critic:
Challenge it.
Every time it said "You can't," I did something small to prove it wrong. Walked a bit further, chose a salad over fries.
Talk back. I started telling myself, "I can, and I will." Positive talk isn't just fluff; it's powerful.
Celebrate small wins. Got through a day without junk food? That's a victory. Celebrate it.
Surround yourself with positivity.
I found people who uplifted me, not those who echoed my inner critic.
Now, 100 pounds lighter and years wiser, that critic still tries to speak, but it's just a whisper now. I've built a life where I'm in control, not that negative voice.
If your inner critic is loud right now, know this: You're stronger than it. You can shut it down, step by step, choice by choice. Tell that voice to fuck off and prove it wrong. Even if it’s ONE SMALL actionable step, do SOMETHING.
Remember, I was once where you might be, listening to that same doubting voice.
But I chose to fight back, and now, I'm here to help you do the same.
If you’re a young man, looking for guidance on how to tackle that inner critic, I’m here to help. Let’s talk.
