Thinking Mistake #9: Exaggerated Thinking
“I can’t stand this craving.”
“I have no will power.”
Do you do this?

Can't think of any exaggerated thinking I've done lately when it comes to eating and food.

Not recently...I think the more I eat "healthy" and "OP" the less those cravings and such occur...

I experienced this recently. I tried the 5 minute rule we discussed at the meeting and it worked.

luvvinlife, Good for you for trying the new technique. It is a good way to break the grip of a sabotaging thought.

Thanks bbbearsmom, When it comes to impulsive eating/drinking behavior, 20 minutes seems too long. But 5 minutes is manageable. I usually extend it by another 5 minutes or forget about the object of my cravings altogether. |

luvvinlife, seems analogous to picking a 5 lb. goal vs. a much larger one. Beck would approve!
