The Dopamine Shot in Your Mind

If you don't follow through with stuff, if you give in, that indulgence will lead to regret or guilt. So it's like once you slip up, and once you fall off the path even a little bit, you're at a very precarious point. You could very easily continue to fall down that hill if you don't catch what's going on. I can totally see myself doing that, especially with food, but when I don't eat well, the tendency is to just keep eating. It's like a vicious shame spiral, and you just can't get out of it.
