Recognize Thinking Mistakes
Common Mistakes
1.All or Nothing Thinking-I'm either 100% on my diet or I'm not.
2.Negative Fortune Telling-Since I didn't lose weight this week I won't ever lose weight or since I gave into my craving I might as well always give into it because I can't stop the craving.
3.Overly Positive Fortune Telling-It's okay if I just guestimate the food I'm craving instead of weighing or measuring and I'll still lose weight.
4.Emotional Reasoning-I gave into that slice of(fill in the blank)and now I feel like a failure so I must be a failure.
5.Mind Reading-My family or friends will be upset if I don't eat my favorite(fill in the blank)they really know I like.
6.Self Deluding Thinking-If nobody sees me eating this candy bar(or your favorite indulgence)it doesn't count.
7.Unhelpful Rules-I can't waste food or make my family eat something just because I'm on a diet.
8.Justification-I deserve to eat this because I'm stressed out or it's okay to eat this because it's free.
9.Exaggerated Thinking-I just can't stand this craving or I just have no willpower.
Can you see yourself in any of these thinking mistakes now or in the past?
