#11: How Perfectionism Sabotages Weight Loss (And What to Do Instead)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Perfectionism is one of the most common hidden barriers to sustainable weight loss. In this episode of The Vitality Formula, physician Dr. Marie Livesey explains how all-or-nothing thinking quietly sabotages progress and keeps people stuck in cycles of burnout, guilt, and inconsistency.
Drawing on coaching experience, behavioral psychology, and neuroscience, Dr. Livesey explores why perfectionism makes healthy habits harder to maintain and how shifting toward a progress-focused mindset can support lasting change.
Instead of rigid rules and unrealistic expectations, this episode introduces practical strategies for building consistency, flexibility, and resilience in your approach to weight loss and health.
If you’ve ever felt like you needed to do everything perfectly to see results, this conversation offers a more sustainable way forward.
