Rubber Band Around My Wrist

My office mate Light Bright is always getting on my case for my negative thoughts. She said I should wear a rubber band around my wrist and snap it every time I have a bad thought about myself, so I did try that today, and I ended up snapping it a few times. She said, “If it gives you a welt, just think that you’re doing that much damage to your psyche.” Now the problem is: how do I decide what is a negative thought and what is just factual? For example, if I think, “I’m fat,” is that a negative thought? As an objective measure, my Body Mass Index indicates that I am overweight. So if I change my thought from “I’m fat” to “I’m overweight,” do I not have to snap myself? You can see my dilemma.
