Smart People Problem with Weight Loss #2: They’re Perfectionists
No/low standards = loser
High standards = awesome
Perfectionism = loser
It’s an odd backwards-bending curve, isn’t it?
No/low standards, and you take anything you can get. Think of the people you know in this category, people who have no boundaries or standards. Ugh.
On the other hand, high standards show you have selectivity and options. This is someone who sets boundaries, knows who they are, and is unapologetic about it.
Then…
…you have perfectionists.
Perfectionism can be crippling.
I’ve come to realize that it’s the smart person’s version of Fear of Failure.
“If it’s not going to get me back to my ideal weight/body shape, why even bother?”
Or…
“I was so good all day and then I grabbed a cookie before starting to work on dinner. Now I’ve totally screwed up my tracking for today so I may as well have the rest of the cookies and all a pint of ice cream for dinner. I’ll start again tomorrow.”
