episode 132: are you stuck in the instant gratification trap?
On episode 132 of The Diet Diaries I’m talking about instant gratification. Why we need it so badly, why it never gives us what we actually want and what we actually need to do instead.
This episode is inspired by a recent client conversation and how my client articulated the experience of shifting around her schedule so she could create time to prep lunch to bring to work and not be so crazed in the mornings.
She said “it sucks now but it sucks more tomorrow. So let is suck now so that it doesn’t suck later.”
If that doesn’t capture how to avoid instant gratification, I don’t know what does.
So I’m breaking down what this really means and why it’s so important for making changes to your eating habits, coping with body image issues and finally going through recovery from binge eating.
Here’s what I’m talking about in episode 132:
What it means to front load discomfort
Why we are constantly seeking instant gratification
How to avoid instant gratification
Why urgency is keeping you from meeting your goals
Why all of this matters for your negative body image and binge eating recovery
