“As a society, we've been taught that we should exercise in prescribed intensities and amounts, and eat 'doses' of food,” says psychologist and health-behavior expert Michelle Segar, a researcher at the University of Michigan and author of The Joy Choice: How to Finally Achieve Lasting Changes in Eating and Exercise. “This very precise formula is the primary reason so many of us tend to believe if I can't do it 'right' then it's not worth doing at all.”
The healthcare industry, “where precise research is conducted,” contributes to this misconception, as do the fitness and diet industries, which are “full of claims that if we do it 'right’ — their way — we'll lose weight, get fit and healthier,” Segar says.
But there's no single 'right' formula for good living, and strict guidelines don’t leave room for reality.
“Much of the time, our plans become unworkable due to unanticipated needs from our many life areas,” Segar says. “So if we come to those frequent points with all-or-nothing thinking, there is only one option: Do nothing.”
Doing nothing makes us feel like failures, plus inaction means we’re not making any sort of progress. “After a couple 'nothing' responses, many just give up — until the next time they start this vicious cycle,” Segar says. “That's why we need a more adaptive approach, one that can survive the frequent turbulence our eating or exercise plans encounter.”
Being adaptive is surprisingly accessible, part of who we are.
“It's important to consider that our brain's executive functioning evolved for us to be flexible and pivot when we need to,” Segar says. “Something unexpected at home, at work, with our kid's schooling requires that we operate with flexible thinking. Yet, when it comes to our eating and exercise projects we bring rigid, high-stakes thinking that doesn't just stress us out, it too often guides us to do nothing.”
What's more, Segar notes, research on eating and exercise suggests that applying flexible thinking to challenges and special occasions is associated with better behavioral outcomes, including weight-loss maintenance.
