121. But Am I Just Deceiving Myself?

Do you ever feel like you're just kidding yourself about things? About how you're going to just get it together one day, or finally arrive in that smaller body you keep striving for? What is the difference between hope and self-deception? This episode talks about: Stef is just soooo self-aware Self deception might look like: "just one last time; I won't binge tomorrow."
