On the Wagon, Off the Wagon
All-or-nothing thinking is not helpful when it comes to how you approach eating. Talk of “falling off the wagon” is extremely common and serves to keep you stuck in a loop of white-knuckle “compliance” (yuck) followed by periods of fuck-it-all eating, guilt, and shame. If you keep coming back to this way of thinking, start by asking yourself if it’s actually helping you find better health and more ease. Probably not.
In this episode, I’m talking about why all-or-nothing words and ways of thinking create unhelpful feelings which then lead to behaviors that cause further guilt and shame with food. I’m also sharing five practical steps you can follow for beginning to detangle yourself from the words and metaphors of dieting so you’re more empowered from within and less likely to spend all of your time thinking about food.
