Wishing Thinking is when you want something to be true even when it’s not true, like the fantasy of the thin ideal.
Think of all the years we pursue dieting… The endless “on and off” diet cycle always landing right back in the same place.
Wishful Thinking is the formation of beliefs based on what might be pleasing to imagine rather than on reality, evidence, FACTS. It’s is usually grown from fear. We don’t resort to Wishful Thinking because it works. We resort to Wishful Thinking because it allows us to avoid confronting our fear.
Wishful Thinking is the trap that prevents you from seeing the reality that food restriction doesn’t work, and all bodies are good bodies.
The solution is objective Thinking.
