What do you do after you've overeaten or eaten the wrong food? If you're like most people, you do one of two things. You either ignore it, just put it out of your mind, or you beat yourself up about it. But neither of those options is ever going to help you to eat differently, because you're never learning from your mistakes. A better option is to look at the behavior you're not happy with and ask yourself the question, if I could go back in time, knowing what I know now, what would I have done differently? And then imagine doing that thing. By doing this, you learn from your mistake, and you train your mind and body how you want to eat.
