Progress not Perfection

I was reading Prevention magazine this morning about some weight loss success stories and one gal said the key to her success was aiming for progress not perfection. There is a lot of validity in that statement. One of the reasons that prevented me in the past was that I have to acheive perfection. I have to lose weight and everything HAS to be perfect. Well how realistic is that!?! I have made progress and continue to make progress and that is AWESOME. I don't have to be perfect. There are going to be pitfalls in this journey but I am focusing on progress not perfection!
