Description

Why do we keep thinking we must be perfect to be good enough?
- and, more importantly, what does it do to our psyche and eating habits if we only feel we are doing well enough if we eat 100% perfectly?

There are many explicit and implicit cultural demands on our appearance. So it's no wonder that many of us have internalised it as a need to be and appear perfect.

In this episode, Ditte and Kirsten discuss the consequences of perfectionism, what it does to one's eating (and weight) - and not least, what to do if you want to practice lowering your overly high standards for yourself.

In this episode, we discuss the following:
- Our own experiences with perfectionism
- The function of perfectionism
- Is perfectionism innate or learned?
- Why your eating will become easier if you put perfectionism aside and practice an 80/20 approach
- How you can practice being less of a perfectionist.
