A very common thing I see with people trying to lose weight (and myself) is that one slip up feels like the end of the meal, day, week, month,...
"I've already messed up this one up, how much of a difference does it really make if I just mess up the rest?"
In the moment it can feel like stopping there doesn't really matter that much but the contrary is true...
You see, health is not a binary thing...
That means that health is not a 1 or 0, not an all in or all out thing...
Yes you may have had a slip-up but continuing like that is even less helpful.
Don't fall in the downward spiral of One bite--> One meal --> One day --> One week --> One month
Especially during the holiday period.
Strategic eating of certain types of foods can actually help weight loss...
But if you're deciding in the moment, chances are it's not very strategic.
One tip to regain control in a moment like that is to slow down your breathing.
This may sound silly but at first but breathing more slowly actually causes physiological changes that improve willpower.
There is definitely a time and place for all kinds of foods when losing weight but a full month is likely overdoing it
