Eating to Avoid Procrastination Hell

Georgie Fear and the Confident Eaters Team
About this episode

"I'll get started... after a snack." "This is so overwhelming... I need candy." Life contains onerous tasks, and they can cause dread and anxiety even when we haven't begun them. Because avoiding a chore presents its own drawn out emotional torture, binge eating or procrastineating entices us to escape BOTH the task and the heavy guilt we feel for stalling. But as we know, binge eating or emotional eating are not perfect solutions, because they come at steep costs to our self-esteem and wellness. Let's explore real life tools you can use to save yourself from procrastination hell while breaking up with binge eating.
