Are you or have you ever been a Perfectionist Dieter?

I'm looking for someone to chat with that struggles with weight loss because of trying to approach everything perfectly. Usually, this shows up as constantly gaining and regaining the same 10-15lbs from stress eating/emotional eating and then going "all-in" to the latest diet or "plan" only to give up as soon as you've gone off plan or progress is slow.

Perfectionist dieters usually:

Try to “speed up” the process by eating less than what the program recommends or exercising more to reach your goals?

Expect to suffer with your new program and feel deprived?

Enjoy the thrill of eliminating certain foods or entire food groups?

Battle strong urges to eat unhealthy foods or skip exercise?

Use the words “good” or “bad” to describe certain foods and your eating behavior?

Fall off the wagon when you have a bad night, sometimes even after just making one unhealthy food choice?

Struggle with feelings of guilt, thinking that you could be doing better?

Believe the motto “no pain, no gain” is true?

Convince yourself that past failed attempts were from lack of effort and/or not staying focused?
