Join us in today's episode as we dive into one of the most pervasive thoughts in the binge-restrict cycle: 'I'll make up for it tomorrow.'
We'll explore how this seemingly harmless thought is a clustered cognitive distortion, combining all-or-nothing thinking, future tripping, moral reasoning, should statements, and magical thinking. Learn how this mindset disconnects you from the present, adds emotional pressure, and often leads to more binge behaviors.
We'll also discuss practical ways to reframe this thought and steps to build a mindset grounded in steadiness and self-care. If you're ready to replace unhelpful thoughts with tools that support recovery, this episode is for you.
