How Perfectionism and All-or-Nothing Increase Anxiety and Make Losing Weight Feel Impossible

Are you all-or-nothing when it comes to dieting and weight loss?

Would you say that you’re a perfectionist?

If trying to lose weight feels like a huge struggle where you get motivated, mess up, start to second guess your diet, yourself, and then just want to quit … and you often feel frustrated, discouraged, or just full of doubt . . .


If this describes you, then I believe all-or-nothing and perfectionism are majorly working against you. 


It’s the single biggest thing that keeps you from losing weight. I believe it’s also the single biggest thing that keeps us from having the life we really want. 


Perfectionism and all-or-nothing can definitely screw us up, but here’s the question - why?


Why does perfectionism mess us up? 

Why is it an issue for YOU?

And why do we so quickly go all-or-nothing?


We’re answering all of those questions today! Plus, I’m explaining some very specific, very sneaky perfectionism traps - specific ways the bully in your brain uses all-or-nothing to majorly mess you up. This stuff pops up like a weed when we’re trying to lose weight. And then it takes over, leaving you disappointed, with another failed attempt at losing weight.

About the Podcast

Real Life Weight Loss
Lose Weight. Gain Life.
Welcome to the Real Life Weight Loss Podcast where we cut through the confusion and get down to the truth - down to what really works for REAL people when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off. We're diving into the most doable, sustainable weight loss strategies.

This podcast is all about busy moms, dads, husbands, wives who are working, raising kids, and trying to juggle everything life’s throwing at them … but also want to be the best they can for their family and friends and loved ones.

I’m your host Corey Little, a nutritionist and weight loss specialist with 2 degrees, 3 certifications, and 20 years of experience. I've been a champion bodybuilder with 3% body-fat and I’ve also pigged out at all-you-can-eat buffets and have a deep love of food and enjoying life like crazy! So, I’m not some Nutrition Robot or extremist. I’m a real person just like you who loves the good things in life - friends, family, and all the delicious food that comes with it.

So, make no mistake - this podcast is NOT about how to get six-pack abs or how to drop as much weight as possible in 8 weeks. There’s more to life than abs and there’s more to your body than how much you weigh.

Honestly, weight loss is not really about losing weight … it’s about gaining life! Doing things you never thought you could. Having renewed confidence. And enjoying your body and your health more than ever.

Week by week, I’ll provide bite-sized guidance - 15 to 20 minute episodes that pull back the curtain and reveal the truth about what it takes to lose weight and gain life - what strategy and approach real people are using to get results without giving up their day-to-day life.

And here’s the really cool part …

It’s really not as hard or confusing as you might think.

Changing your body, getting crazy healthy, and demanding success from life is do-able for everyone - and it can be fun - and I’ll show you how.

What’s up! My name's Corey Little.
I’m a down to Earth, real-life, donut-loving, “lose weight while getting away with as much as you can” weight-loss specialist.

When it comes to the world of fitness and nutrition, there isn’t much I haven’t done – from champion bodybuilder with 3% body-fat ... to all-you-can-eat buffets to ... training professional athletes to helping a mom of 3 finally drop that 20 or 30lbs she’s been dying to lose.

I am the voice of reason for the busy mom or dad who’s ready to drop weight and get fit, but doesn’t want to become some Crossfit maniac or join a “Diet Cult.”

I am the trusted guide, walking you through the often intimidating world of trying to figure out which diet or supplement actually works and which is a scam.

If losing weight doesn't fit into your life, then it doesn't work. Practical, realistic, sustainable, LIFE-changing results ... that's how we roll.
