Are you stuck in the instant gratification trap?

from The Diet Diaries · host Jordana Edelstein

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 it 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 recoveryAdd your name to the Fall Mini Retreat early interest list here to get all of the details as soon as they’re ready (and a fun bonus!)Connect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
