Stop All-or-Nothing Thinking: Reframe Negative Thoughts to End Self-Sabotage
Does one “off-plan” meal send you into a spiral?
If you’ve ever thought, “I blew it—might as well start again Monday,” this episode is for you.
In this special training pulled straight from the Live360 program, Max walks you through how to reframe negative thoughts and ditch the all-or-nothing mindset that keeps so many women over 40 stuck. This isn’t another “be more disciplined” pep talk. It’s a simple, practical system you can use in real life—especially during that common week 5–6 wobble when motivation dips and old patterns try to creep back in.
What you’ll learn (in plain English):
ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts): what they are, why they happen, and why you can’t just “turn them off.”
The big thinking traps—catastrophizing, overgeneralizing, mind reading, and personalization—and how they fuel emotional eating and “start-over Monday” cycles.
CBT tool: “Catch it, Check it, Change it.”
Catch it: build awareness with journaling and gentle mindfulness.
Check it: ask better questions (Is this actually true? What evidence supports/contradicts this?).
Change it: simple reframes like “One slice of cake doesn’t ruin my week—I’m back on track at my next meal.”
Progress over perfection: why short workouts still count, why weight can spike for normal reasons, and how to focus on trends—not single days.
Identity shifts that last: become the woman who finds the middle ground, celebrates small wins, and treats setbacks as data, not drama.
Community & accountability: why reaching out (instead of hiding) stops the spiral faster.
If you’re navigating menopause weight loss, cravings, or a history of yo-yo dieting, this training will help you calm the inner critic, reduce guilt, and stay consistent—without cutting the foods you love.
