Summary
Perfectionism with nutrition is one of the fastest ways to make sure nothing sticks. Ryann, Jess Gordon, and Joyce get into where the pressure to be perfect actually comes from, why restriction works about as well as holding a beach ball underwater, and what balanced nutrition looks like when you're a real person with birthday parties, vacations, and a life. They talk about the on track/off track language that signals a spiral is coming, why the story you tell yourself after the Oreo matters more than the Oreo, and how flexibility gets you to your goals faster than rigidity ever will. Plus a conversation about the fear that being flexible means giving up on your goals, why "I'll do it for 30 days" is usually a red flag, and why you can have Lucky Charms every day and still be exactly on plan.
