Criticism
I got another comment from a negative person. They said I needed to stop eating treats and eat fruit. I published it this time because it was a light bulb moment.
The last negative comment totally devastated me. But this time, I thought you don’t know me and you’ve maybe read a week’s worth of my meals so how do you know that I don’t eat fruit and I haven’t been writing what I eat every day.
My first response to that comment is that I was leaving for China for 26 days and did not have a lot of fruit on hand and didn’t want to buy some and just end up throwing it away. I was basically eating what I had in the house and still trying to keep it to a decent amount of points.
But the light bulb moment was the fact that perfection is my middle name. When I receive a criticism, I have to stop and regroup because that has ruined my perfection at the moment. Does that sound familiar to anyone??? I think it may be a major breakthrough for me and perfection.
You’ve made a very interesting observation about your own perfectionism. I’ll be curious to see where you go with the breakthrough. Overcoming the urge to be perfect (especially when it’s your middle name) can be a daunting task–I know this from experience
