Learning to Love Yourself with Corinne Crabtree

“I had learned how to be a cheerleader, I had to learn how to be the motivator, I had learned how to be the person who comforted myself when I felt terrible. And that was what made me feel so good at the end, and I knew I wanted to teach other women how to do the exact same thing,” explains Corinne Crabtree, master certified weight and life coach and host of the wildly successful podcast about #NoBSweightloss, Losing 100 Pounds With Corinne. Learning to love yourself is all about re-learning how to communicate with yourself more kindly. When you change your mindset and step into self-confidence and self-love, you can accomplish anything.

Corinne was bullied extensively for her weight throughout her childhood. When Corinne became a mother and realized that at 250 pounds she did not have the energy to play with her young son the way she wanted to, she decided to get very serious about making a change. Corinne had attempted weight loss numerous times, sharing that she started going to Weight Watchers at just 11 years old. The difference between those earlier attempts and this one was that this time Corinne worked on transforming her mindset to be more motivational. Instead of being discouraged and telling herself that what she was doing was not good enough, Corinne learned how to turn off that cruel little voice and replace it with her cheerleading voice.

Take time to notice when that little voice in your head is being mean to you. Is it saying that you are not good enough or that your attempts to change are never going to work? This voice is trying to keep you safe by keeping you the same. In order to achieve lasting change, you will need to learn how to switch off this voice and instead turn on your cheerleading voice.

Quotes

• “I had learned how to be a cheerleader. I had to learn how to be the motivator. I had learned how to be the person who comforted myself when I felt terrible. And that was what made me feel so good at the end, and I knew I wanted to teach other women how to do the exact same thing.” (6:28-6:44 | Corinne)

• “It doesn't matter if you can have self love right now, the real thing is, are you willing to learn? That's the difference maker.” (8:18-8:28 | Corinne)

• “It's a skill we develop. Women, honestly, we're not taught it. No one tells us. It's not modeled for us very often. I mean, nowadays we all talk about it, but you’ve got to imagine most of us are walking around as the walking wounded. We have decades of never hearing this stuff and then we get mad at our moms. I'm like they didn’t get this either, why are we mad at her? She didn't know any better.” (9:27-9:55 | Corinne)

• “If you really want to build a better relationship with yourself, you have to listen to how often you're telling yourself and stopping yourself from progressing when you say, ‘but that's not good enough.’ And you’ve got to be real honest in that moment.” (13:54-14:09 | Corinne)
