Find out about the slippery slope and why it's not a fallacy when it comes to fitness.
The "Slippery Slope" is not a diet fallacy!
First, what is this fallacy known as the Slippery slope. The Slippery Slope is a logic fallacy which assumes taking one step will lead to a following outcome that cannot be prevented.
The Slippery Slope may be a fallacy in logic, but it certainly is not in dieting.
Have you ever had one of those dieting slippery slope moments?
Maybe your going over to your family potluck, or an office party at work.
You feel good and have had a great day. You got some exercise in the early morning at 6AM and you've eaten several quality meals since then.
Suddenly you are enveloped by the atmosphere of eating and food. Your taste buds start to water and you're ready to throw your diet out the window.
And your off....
The feasting begins, you see everyone else going to town you get in line to get a few snacks, then your favorite uncle offers you a try of his famous wolfberry pie.
(Yes, wolfberry is an actual berry)
In a moment of weakness you wolf down that wolfberry pie, then out of the side of your eye you catch a glimpse of your sister's cookies. You then dive into that bag of cookies. Your grandmother's spaghetti sounds good as well.
Your diet is now out the window!!
It is a slippery slope from there, in that once you pop you can't stop type of thing. A temporary loss of self control can result in a day long binge or even a weekend eating fest.
You see, once you are on that slope, it just keeps going down hill from there. When it comes to nutrition, this slippery slope is alive and well. The first step of tempting food can and will lead to subsequent steps that cannot be prevented.
The easy way out - don't go near the top of the hill. Just stay back, far back. Stay on track for your diet.
Do you ever feel like you are on a slippery slope in life?
One slip after another leading you down a slippery slope into greater confusion and no results in your dieting and fitness program.
Accountability and motivation will help keep you going every single day and moving forward every hour to your overall fitness goal and a better life.
