Heavy Thoughts? How Distorted Thinking Affects Weight Loss
Posted by: | CommentsThere’s a difference common to individuals who fail to lose weight and keep it off long term. It’s called all-or-nothing thinking. Do you recognize any (or all) of the following?
-
· Hunger is bad; being full (often overly full) is good.
-
· I’m good if I follow my diet and bad if I make one mistake
-
· My eating week was good or bad even if I just struggle one day or several minutes a day
-
· If I’m losing weight, I’m fully in control; if I’m not, I’m totally out of control.
