The Breakthrough Emotional Eating Podcast Kristin Jones

In this episode of the Breakthrough Emotional Eating Podcast, listen as I challenge the traditional approach of changing one's diet to lose weight. This method is counterproductive and sustains a cycle of weight loss and gain without addressing the underlying issues. 

I discuss how the brain's resistance to change and the creation of desire can sabotage weight loss efforts. Instead, I advocate for understanding the emotional reasons behind overeating and developing a healthier relationship with food and oneself.  By focusing more on the 'why' rather than the 'what' we eat, I believe individuals can achieve sustainable weight loss without the need for drastic diet changes.

It can be exciting to set a goal for yourself that you really want to achieve, and when you start to see progress towards reaching it….nothing can be more rewarding. 
But have you ever felt yourself starting to obsess about wanting to achieve something? I’m talking the “can’t stop thinking about it all day and night" kind of thinking. When does it cross the line from being a healthy pursuit of a goal, and it moves into perfectionism?
This week’s episode of The Breakthrough Emotional Eating podcast I discuss emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy mindset when striving for a goal, and avoiding self-destructive behaviors associated with perfectionism. 
Is it consistency or perfectionism? You will learn:
The distinction between consistency and perfectionism lies in the mindset one adopts while working towards a goal.
Consistency involves being reliable and steady in behaviors, whereas perfectionism entails setting excessively high expectations for flawless performance.
Consistent progress is gradual and acknowledges setbacks as part of the journey, while perfectionism leads to self-criticism and unrealistic standards.
Strategies for adopting a healthier mindset include setting realistic goals, focusing on progress rather than perfection, learning from setbacks, practicing self-compassion, and controlling perfectionistic thoughts.
Ultimately, prioritizing self-care and recognizing when perfectionism becomes detrimental are crucial for achieving sustainable progress and avoiding negative emotional patterns like emotional eating.
