The ALL or NOTHING mentality is a cognitive distortion that results in depressions, anxiety, procrastination, binging, and completely sabotaging your progress.  

It's a black and white way of thinking, perfectionist syndrome, causing you to see reality in extremes.   

It's good or it's bad... Right or wrong... Success or complete failure...  

Where does this mentality stem from?  I believe it's simply the natural evolution of the human experience. Just like new born babies are only able to see in black and white, but over time the begin to develop the ability to see shades of grey, and then even color.  

Historically speaking, we come from generations of black and white thinking. Religion and politics are great examples of how this mentality has perpetuated over centuries.  Democrats and Republicans, heaven or hell, good vs. evil, true or false, worthy or unworthy. More often than not we find that one group believes they are right and everyone else is wrong.  

No disrespect intended towards religion or politics, I believe humanity has come a long way in this arena.  The mentality has spilled over into a lot of parenting styles, then we wonder why we as adults struggle with this.  Anyone come from a home where anything less than an A is unacceptable?  

Believing that punishment and shame will keep us from doing "bad things", using fear as a motivator... it may have worked in the short-term, but look at the long-term  repercussions.   Fear as a motivator is just not sustainable. It will never produce lasting results, it only keeps you stuck in unhealthy patterns.

Sometimes life throws you curve balls and that's okay.

Thank you Charlene Noel for being vulnerable and opening up about some of your struggles. I'm sure there are some in our community who can relate.

ER Shred is all about the JOURNEY not necessarily the end result. There is much to learn about ourselves and our bodies.

Here is a snippet of our coaching session we had last week.

Indulgences are not bad, it's all about finding a healthy balance and taking breaks from these things for a period of time in order to reset and gain even more control over your urges and cravings.

Shred Your Body - episode #77   Tonight on shred your body, I have the privilege of chatting with a pretty remarkable human, Sara O’Bannon.   Sara O'Bannon has always been focused on health and nutrition as a singer/guitarist who loves sports. She struggled with her weight from a young age and always had a goal to be active. She calls herself a "yo-yo dieter", hitting goal, and then gaining it all back multiple times.  In the 90's she started racewalking and became the Florida state racewalk champion at 1.5K, 3K, 5K and 10K for several years. Sara was the first female walker to finish the first Disney marathon carrying a ten-minute mile pace for the race. She was invited to major elite races such as Penn Relays and the DC invitational Racewalks and eventually to train with the US team in Maine and the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, NY.   A surgery caused Sara to lose the ability to compete for a while, but she was then asked to coach the US Junior Women's Racewalking team in the USA-Canada Racewalks in Ottawa, Canada in 1996.   After her racewalking, Sara tried to fight the weight loss battle again, but ballooned to a high of 310 pounds. Back surgery in 2015 put in constant pain with nerve damage to her right leg that left her hobbling with a cane.It wasn't until 2019 that she finally had success with our partner company losing 100 pounds and regained her ability to walk, but seemed to stall in the summer of 2020, hitting a plateau.   When Sara got Covid in November 2020, she gained back 85 of the lost pounds in 3 months. Her body had changed, including having sugar cravings, no sense of taste and faitigue with shortness of breath.  Sara found the ER Shred and jumped in on January 31st, 2021 and has not looked back, losing 40 pounds so far, on a journey of discovering her own food protocol to deal with her inidividual health issues.  Join Sara and myself tonight at 8 PM est for our live chat 💬 We break into all sorts of tips and tricks that can hopefully help someone else that may be struggling like Sara once did.
