Oh, yes! I am familiar with self talk. There are often 3 "selves" in my conversations - self #1 that is resisting the healthier option, self #2 that would insist on the healthier option but is choosing to stay silent and self #3 who is encouraging self #2 to speak up! I am happy to say that self #3 got through to self #2 this morning and I am the more grateful!
