An Antidote for an All or Nothing Halloween

10/31/2018

0 Comments

 
All or nothing.  

That's the mindset that a lot of people have when it comes to a lot of things.  It's either all good or all bad.  It's either all wonderful or all horrible.  It's either all healthy or it's all junk food.

This is also what seems to sabotage a lot of our best intentions toward eating better.   We think we're going to start our new health kick and eat only kale and tofu (all), but after our willpower caves in to a chocolate muffin, we throw up our hands and say, "What the Heck," and we fall off the bandwagon (nothing).

Tonight is Halloween and this all or nothing thinking is at a peak.  Little Twix and Snickers bars, little bags of M&Ms and Skittles.  It's easy to say "What the Heck," and eat until they're gone.  In one of our studies we analyzed weight gain and showed for Americans it steadily starts rising from about now until January.  

Here's something you can do tonight.  Put a bowl of fruit out on your counter as an antidote to the candy that will be probably be sitting there for the next week.  It least the candy will have some competition.  It seems to be working for the police.
