If you’re already saying to yourself… I want to enjoy the holidays, so I’m going to start my diet in January, then I want you to listen closely to what I’m about to say.

The truth is… the holidays easily pull us into an all-or-nothing mindset, and that mentality can have a significant impact on your weight. The average American gains 6 pounds over the holidays. It’s not just about the extra treats or indulgences—it’s these deeper patterns that start to emerge this time of year, patterns that can lead us into cycles of guilt, regret, and ultimately, weight gain.

In today’s episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re going to answer the question… what is the real reason behind this all or nothing holiday food mindset? I’ll walk you through the 4 patterns most of us fall into during the holidays that create this cycle. You’ll learn why this mindset grips us so tightly, the psychological roots behind it, and, most importantly, what you can start doing right now to escape it.

If you’re ready to enjoy a holiday season where you don’t feel held back by guilt, regret, overindulgence, or the thought of “starting over in January,” then you’ll want to listen closely. This is Holiday Survival Part 3 of a 4 part series. 


Together, we will unpack:

• What is the real reason behind this all or nothing holiday food mindset?
• What is the "good girl spiral"?
• How can you make true, sustainable changes when the diet industry expects you to fail?
