Hint: it’s not really about food

The holiday season is full of joy, celebrations, and, let’s be honest—lots of delicious food. But for many, it’s also a time of frustration and guilt when it comes to staying on track with health goals.

The truth? The biggest obstacle isn’t the cookies or cocktails. It’s your mindset—specifically, the all-or-nothing mindset.

What Is the All-or-Nothing Mindset?

This mindset tells you that you’re either “on track” or “off track,” with no middle ground. It sounds like:

“I already ate something indulgent, so I might as well write off the rest of the day.”
“It’s too hard to eat healthy during the holidays. I’ll just start fresh in January.”

This kind of thinking can leave you feeling stuck, frustrated, and out of control.

Why It Doesn’t Work

The all-or-nothing mindset encourages extremes—you’re either perfect or you’ve “blown it.” But true progress comes from being flexible. It’s about making choices that fit your goals most of the time, without letting one indulgence derail your whole day, week, or month.

How to Break Free

Here’s how to navigate the holidays without the all-or-nothing trap:

Balance Over Perfection: One indulgence doesn’t undo your progress. If you have a cookie at the party, pair it with a nourishing dinner later. It’s what you do most of the time that matters.
Shift Your Perspective on Food: Stop labeling food as “good” or “bad.” Instead, ask yourself, “Does this choice align with how I want to feel?”
Plan for Setbacks: Holidays are unpredictable, and things won’t always go as planned. The key is bouncing back. If you overindulge, move on and make the next choice one that feels good for your body.
