Don’t Be a Perfectionist With Your Weight Loss Program
Don’t be a perfectionist. Being a perfectionist is the quickest way to sabotage your efforts in any endeavor. This is especially true when it comes to weight loss. If you mentally beat yourself up every time you cheat on your diet, you will get so demoralized that you will not want to keep trying. If you are doing well on your diet 75-80% of the time, you are doing really well.
If you are on a do-it-yourself diet, it will be a little harder to measure your success, so I recommend that you find a good weight loss program that will suit your lifestyle. Then you will have a better idea of how well you are following the program. If you are falling below a 20% effort, just a quick pep talk should get you back on track and into the 75-80% zone.
