26. How to Deal with Imperfection in Your Relationship with Food

Perfectionism is a killer - in my experience as a therapist, I've seen perfectionism and unrealistic expectations of ourselves derail, deflate and even destroy people's spirits and relationships with food. I can honestly say it's one of - and maybe even the biggest obstacles I see to creating a loving, stable relationship with food. Diet culture has told us for far too long that there's only one way to "succeed" in stopping overeating and losing weight, and anything short of that is failing! This couldn't be farther from the truth. In this episode, I talk about a very different, and much more effective way to deal with the inevitable imperfections in your relationship with food that helps to keep you moving in the direction of your goals, while also releasing you from the shame and diet roller coaster we know all too well!   I'm obsessed with knowing all about you, so please follow (and DM!) me on Instagram and Facebook and find more on my website. We're in this together and the journey is going to be so awesome. Produced by Dear Media
