Seems like everyone focuses exclusively on what one should or should not do in order to lose body fat or look better or whatever. Myself included. Maybe that works for some people, but it is NOT working for me.
I'm going to try to apply therapeutic CBT and ACT principles to my overeating. I have focused far too much on what I'm doing, without asking what is going on with my thoughts and emotions along with the overeating. I think approaching my diet from a psychological point of view will be the most productive.
For some reason, very few people seem to take this approach. Any idea why? And, does it seem like a good idea for me to do this? It seems to me that those of us with chronic overeating problems should be spending time asking ourselves why we behave the way we do around food, rather than just playing the role of internal drill sargeant.
I'll let you know how it goes for me.
