Diet Mindsets to avoid: 'The Reward System' + 'Oh Screw it'

from The Strong[HER] Way | Healthy nutrition and habits for moms, routines, strength training for women · host Alisha Carlson, Fitness and Nutrition Coach for Moms

Send us Fan MailHey friend! This week we are getting into a couple more diet mindsets that are keeping you from breaking up with dieting and experiencing true food freedom and guilt free eating. Often times we use food to reward ourselves for being "good" during the week or for sticking with our meal plans/ diets and getting all those workouts in. This creates a toxic relationship with food because it steals the joy of eating and moving your body by replacing it with feelings of guilt or shame. Meanwhile when we mess up and eat off plan or find ourselves overeating/indulging, we feel like we have to make up for it by exercising to burn those extra calories. It turns exercise into punishment, and gives food too much power over you. Which keeps you on the endless hamster wheel of dieting. The other mindset we will be chatting about is the 'oh screw it' mentality. This is closely linked to all or nothing thinking and is rooted in perfectionism. It's the idea that if you mess up, you might as well keep going. Which then often leads to over-correcting eventually with severe restriction of food and a vow to get back on track. We know this stuff doesn't work long term, but we keep going back to it because it's all we've known....until now. Your healthy lifestyle should feel as easy and doable as an unhealthy one.
