I don't use self-talk so much as mental imagery. For me, a picture is worth a thousand words. What kind of self-talk do you use?

sometimes when i walk i do incantations such as "every way in every day I'm getting stronger & stronger" or anything that applys & goes with the cadence of my steps. If your library has it, check out Anthony Robbins "Get the Edge". he goes into self-talk quite a bit. Personally that's the only time I use it consciously but when i used to get down on myself a lot I'd stop and tell myself to be nice. :)

Not sure if this is self-talk

When I'm tempted to stray from my diet and find myself arguing with the offending food in my head (you know how that goes, trying to resist and yet justify at the same time), I remind myself that food has no IQ and can't win this argument, how stupid would that make me. I think of it as a battle between me and a french fry, and the visual is just ridiculous.
