Overeating that is based on pleasure, is one thing. Unfortunately, it’s likely that many of the extra calories you eat are calories you don’t really savor, enjoy, or even feel good about.
Did you know that your thinking can motivate you to overeat? In fact, there is one mindset that high achievers fall prey to that can cause one little extra bite to lead to thousands of extra calories. Fortunately, you can also use your thinking to reduce your overeating.
All-or-nothing thinking is the mindset that you have to get things perfect in order to be successful. And if you don’t get things just right, you’ve blown it – and you might as well give up or admit defeat, until you can get motivated to start over again.

Can you relate?
Overeating – even binge eating – doesn’t have to lead to a downward spiral.
