Hello, everybody and welcome to the podcast today. Happy Friday, if it's Friday when you're

listening to it. Today I wanted to talk about perfectionism and how that can be a problem in your weight loss journey. It can really be like a silent weight loss killer and a progress killer ultimately. And I want to help you learn how to break free from that, how to go from wanting to do it perfect, wanting to get a plus to really settling

into the process and trusting that perfectionism is not real. Doing it perfectly is not something to

aspire to do. It's going to exhaust you and have you feeling like you're going a little crazy.

So I know that you can you can break this down and move through it because you

already have enough knowledge. That's the thing about my perfectionist out there. You have the knowledge,

you have the understanding. But this quest to make it perfect prevents you from taking action.

It prevents you from taking action consistently. And we're going to talk about the ways that that

happens in today's episode. So we're going to get into

the five ways perfectionism hinders your journey with weight loss and food freedom. Number one is

the knowledge and action gap. The gap in between, okay, I know what to do, I get the point,

and I'm ready to start taking action. Perfectionism keeps us stuck in a constant learning cycle. You're

constantly in learning mode always looking for that one piece of information that's going to really

bring everything together. This is such a toxic cycle because it's this feeling always that

there's just this one piece. There's this one piece. And if you could just find that

one piece, everything would make sense. Everything would be easy. Everything would fall into place and

you'd just be off and running. But really what's driving that is this sense of lack. It's this

sense that I'm missing something. There's something that I'm missing. And I can't really go

fully into this process until I know what that missing piece is. And again,

that's going to keep you in this toxic cycle of constantly being on the search to consume,

consume, consume, keep listening, keep understanding. You could teach a masterclass in maybe the topics that

I teach. Maybe you're one of my clients and you're like, and I've coached people like this that get on the coached people like, I know what you're going to tell me. I've heard you coach so many people.
