End the all-or-nothing eating mentality: the DANGERS of all-or-nothing thinking.
Want to learn how to stop the all-or-nothing mentality? This could be the reason why you keep sabotaging your diet. Thankfully, there are a few ways to get yourself out of this vicious cycle.
First, what is the all-or-nothing mentality?
All-or-nothing mentality, which can also be called black-or-white thinking, is when things are either seen as “all good” or “all bad”.
All rational thinking is thrown out the window: you know that eating a bit more than you planned will not be undone by eating even more. Yet you do it anyway. Whenever they aren’t perfect, then it’s considered a failure. Perfectionists often adopt this mentality. This way of thinking keeps you stuck, unhealthy, and miserable. It prevents you from eating in moderation, trapping you in a restrict-then-binge cycle.
Why do you do it?
First of all, chances are you want to feel in control.
This might be because your entire life is spiraling out of control, and your food intake is one of the few things you can control.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, you might also have a perfectly controlled life, from your house organization to your work schedule. But the constant control is exhausting for your body. Every single time you eat, you’re (sometimes subconsciously) thinking about your weight. Some days, you just can’t handle all the pressure and all the control, so you just lose it. It starts with a cookie you shouldn’t have had and ends with a full-on cheat week. These are the dangers of all-or-nothing eating.
Another thing is that frequent binge-eating episodes might be an excuse to stop the diet you don’t actually want to do. If you prevent yourself from having the foods you love, and you know that the only way to enjoy them is by breaking your diet, then guess what you are going to do. That’s right, you’re going to break your diet.
Your subconscious is extremely powerful. Chances are, if you don’t want to do something that is self-imposed, you’ll find a way to get out of it.
So now you're probably wondering how to end all-or-nothing eating mindset.
I explain the solutions in the video, but basically, you need to:
Forget the diet mentality.
Stop expecting perfection.
Have no “off-limits” foods.
Realize that every little bit counts.
Quit starting over.
No foods should be off-limits. “Slip-ups” should be followed by healthy eating instead of quitting and starting over. This is the way for a lasting healthy lifestyle change, and this is how to stop all-or-nothing eating.
