Do You Have To Hate Your Body To Change ...

Mike Pridgen
About this episode

Do you have to hate your body to change it? Do you have to be angry at yourself to lose weight? Do you need to speak negatively to yourself to get it to stick?


On the second anniversary of my video where I took my shirt off at the boardwalk for the first time, we're going to talk about all of the reasons the self-hate approach hasn't worked for you yet, and what to do instead. It gets pretty emotional toward the end.
