You don’t deserve to eat that.

You don’t deserve to eat at all.

You ate too much; you need to make up for it.

You ate too much; you need to punish yourself for it.

Your hunger isn’t valid; it isn’t real.

If you ignore your hunger, it’ll probably go away.

If you’re hungry, it means you’re doing something right.

Ignoring hunger means you’re strong and self-disciplined.

Your healthcare professionals are all wrong; you need to lose weight and they just aren’t telling you because they’re worried you will overreact.

These all sound ridiculous when I think of saying them to anyone else.  So why do I say them to myself?
