Let's talk about those sneaky stories we tell ourselves that can get in the way of reaching our goals.
Ever thought: "I ate a piece of cake last night. I've ruined my diet, and I'll never lose weight"?
Often, these stories don’t reflect reality. We over-generalize and think things will stay the same forever.
This all-or-nothing thinking can make you believe that eating well is a constant battle and that you’ve failed if you slip up even once.
You might feel like you'll never reach your goals, which in turn, makes it harder to actually reach them.
Your thoughts become your reality!
Instead, try this: "I ate a piece of cake. That's OK. There's room in my week to include some treats and still lose weight."
Reframing helps shift from feeling like a failure to believing you can enjoy treats and still succeed.
Goodbye, food guilt!
What's your story?
Is it leading you closer to your goal? Or might it be holding you back?
