Tune In to The Doctors!On Monday, be sure to watch The Doctors! I'll be on to share advice from my book, Master Your Metabolism, about what foods help and hurt your metabolism. If you missed my last appearance, I got in on the action with the Bartendaz, a New York youth group that has acrobatic moves. Check it out now! And check The Doctors' Web site for local listings so you know when to tune in Monday.

FRIDAY: FEELING GOOD Retrain Yourself to Think Positive A key element of changing your attitude is changing your self-talk, or internal monologue. Your self-talk is that chattering conversation you have with yourself all day long, whether you are aware of it or not. It's the voice in your head that says, "I'm too fat" or "I'm not good enough." I don't need to go on, do I? You know what I'm talking about!
It's this kind of useless negativity that keeps you from being the best that you can be. Well, it's time to turn it around once and for all. You need to retrain yourself to think positive!
Imagine what would happen if you changed the dialogue so that it sounded more like this: "I can lose weight and be healthy, exercise to the best of my ability, and get stronger and better at it every time I do it." Your self-talk can make the difference between happiness and despair, success and failure. I can promise you that if you start making your self-talk more positive and affirming — and less defeatist and self-depreciating — your whole life will change for the better.
