Does anyone else have the cancerous all or nothing mentality?
Like for me, It's so fucking hard to start a new routine or break a habit because the slightest thing will set me back. If try to change something like fix my diet or stop playing vidya I have to literally shut myself in a dark room blind folded and wearing noise blocking head phones. If I even start thinking about it, I'll slowly gravitate towards it. I'm the type of person that would be really thin from anorexia or 500 pounds due to binge eating, theres no possible way I can be in the middle.

even your opinion of your all or nothing mentality is all or nothing
me running away from my thoughts is like bleeding in the ocean swimming away from a shark
yep
been there
get it in your head that you need to take SMALL STEPS or you'll never get out of your rut
notice how people who consistently go to the gym for a few years doing a dumb routine and weird diet look better than keyboard warriors who have all the knowledge yet stay at home being skinnyfat and doing nothing

Yep. Did a shitty 9-5 all year. Worked harder than everyone else, got a promotion, then I almost killed myself because I was bored. Now I'm going back to NEETdom for a while. I should work part time instead.
Exact same issues. my weight has yo-yoed like crazy for the past couple of years, because i am either dieting perfectly and exercising alot everday or eating everything in sight while doing nothing. I can't find balance in anything that I do.

yeah but the good part is when I finally decide it's time to make a change I commit like nobody's business
one time i lost 60lbs and was borderline chad
then i started drinking and now i've gained 80lbs but am a world class drinker
Growth vs. Fixed mindset
Mine has been fixed for years, even after learning about these mindsets it remains fixed, perfectionism and OCD dont help make matters easier either.
Failure has always been hugely discouraging for me, rather than an "opportunity to learn" as those with a growth mindset apparently see it as. Its really hard to change your mindset though, that in itself requires adopting a growth mindset, and fuck thats difficult.
