Certain psychological and emotional factors can undermine attempts at weight management. Previously we have found that shame and self-criticism were significantly associated with disinhibition and perceived hunger in 2,236 participants of a weight management programme. This effect was fully mediated through weight-related negative affect. The present study examined the impact of self-criticism and self-reassurance on well-being and whether it was mediated by weight-related affect in the same population. Methods: Participants completed an online survey of measures of self-criticism and self-reassurance, and negative and positive affect associated with weight and well-being.

Is it a fine balance between self encouragement and self criticism?

Yah,if you want to succeed in life, you do not have to be ashamed of your faults.
If you be aware of our own pride,jealousy, insecurities, etc,then you have a chance to let go of them. Avoid guilt and do not judge by values of others.
The road to success is not one endless stretch of flat,paved express way,but rather,is filled with curves,valleys,potholes, bumps and detours, so,you have to see what is around the next curve.
Criticize yourself where necessary and encourage yourself to gain momentum
