This is a post about overly positive fortune telling and overly negative fortune telling:
From Tammy: I loved how someone in the group once pointed out the relationship between overly positive fortune telling and overly negative fortune telling. I suppose it is also combined with all-or-nothing thinking.
For example:
1st thought: I'll lose 20 pounds a month and get to goal in no time!
Then, when that doesn't happen.
2nd thought: I'll never get to goal.
I believe that this person's theory was that the overly positive fortune telling always preceded the overly negative. Before that statement, I didn't think that I did overly positive fortune telling. But this made me realize that I do.
