Perfectionism Masks Itself as All or Nothing Thinking - One of the largest roadblocks in weight loss.

Are you a Perfect Pat ? One of the issues that consistently comes
up and interferes with dieting and weight loss is perfectionistic
thinking.  A perfectionist is someone who allows absolutely
no room at all for error.  In other words, it must be done
to the literal letter or all is lost.  The typical weight
loss pattern for a perfectionist is this – once they vary from
their program, even slightly, they abandon the entire effort.
 This kind of thinking leaves the dieter incredibly
frustrated and can make weight loss seem like an insurmountable
mountain and an impossible dream.  


How does the perfectionistic dieter break free of a pattern that
simply doesn't work? The answer is to shift to the 80/20
approach, which means learning to make healthy choices 80% of the
time. The 80/20 approach leaves room in your weight loss program
for both planned and surprise indulgences. Listen and learn how
to do this!
