It’s easy to make stupid mistakes. It’s also hard to recognize them. Two really stupid mistakes don’t seem stupid at all. They seem completely logical and that’s why the smartest people continue to make them!

Stupid Mistake #1: Perfectionism

Sorry to break the news to you. You aren’t perfect.

You’ll never be perfect. You’re a human being and as such you’re perfectly imperfect. Trying to be perfect at weight loss guarantees perfect results – perfect failure.

Here’s why:

day begins perfectly.

You get up at the perfect hour and do a perfect workout. That’s followed by your perfect breakfast. You maintain perfection until noon. You forgot to pack your perfect lunch so the perfect solution is to skip lunch.

Problem is your perfect breakfast isn’t going to hold you until dinner.

Your perfect day falls apart when you get so hungry you eat something handy that’s not on your perfect diet. Once you did that you ruined your perfect day.

Today is not going to be a perfect day. Today is a bad day. You will have to be perfect tomorrow.

What happens after that doesn’t matter.  Eat whatever you can reach; eat as much as you want because all is lost until tomorrow when you can start all over to have a perfect day.

Today is ruined. It doesn’t matter what I do today anymore. I’ll be perfect tomorrow!

The pattern is repeated until you finally decide you’re not capable of losing weight because you’re not going to ever be able to be perfect.

Maybe you are capable of perfect adherence.

Day after day you are perfect and when you step on the scale you see what you expected for your careful perfectionism. The weeks that follow you continue to be perfect.

Your friends and family don’t like the “perfect you” so much.

It’s difficult to be around you because you’re so rigidly sticking to your perfect diet. You make unreasonable demands of those around you so that you can maintain your perfectionism. You don’t care if you’re annoying and overbearing. You’d rather be alone and thin than surrounded by friends and family and overweight.

Being perfect will give you the perfect body and that’s the only thing
