Are You a Perfectionist with Food? Here'...

Kelly Lyons
About this episode

Ever felt like one "imperfect" bite sends you spiraling into a full-blown binge? Yeah, me too. In this raw and real episode, we dive into how perfectionism sets the stage for binge eating and how to stop the cycle. If you've ever said "I already messed up, might as well keep eating," this episode is for you.

What to Listen For:

  • The sneaky definition of perfectionism and how it shows up in your daily routines
  • What "perfect eating" really looks like (and how it sets you up to fail)
  • Why one bite of a cookie can feel like a total disaster
  • The emotional spiral from "I messed up" to "I ate everything"
  • Real-life examples from motherhood, fitness goals, and diet culture
  • How rigid food rules create unbearable pressure

What can you expect from this podcast & future episodes?

  • Bite-size episodes that are binge-able (no pun intended)!
  • Tips to help you stop binging & overeating
  • A friendly face, hint of sarcasm & touch of tough love to help you be normal around food.
